Just moments from the shoreline at Wakanui Beach, this classic two-bedroom cottage sits on a 152m2 coastal section, offering an affordable entry into a tightly held seaside pocket. With approximately 30m² of floor area, a fully fenced yard, solar panels on the roof and multiple outbuildings, it’s a property that will appeal to holidaymakers, downsizers, creatives or buyers looking for a project with personality.

Step inside and the home immediately feels humble and authentic. The combined kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, complete with a freestanding wood burner set into a traditional hearth. Timber accents, open shelving and practical cabinetry create a functional layout that keeps everyday living simple. From here, the adjoining living area connects easily to a covered deck, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that extends the usable living space and provides a sheltered spot to sit year-round.

Two bedrooms branch off the main living zones, each enjoying natural light and a relaxed coastal feel. The bathroom is compact and practical, servicing the home with the essentials. While there is clear scope to refresh and add value over time, the layout is straightforward and easy to work with.

Outdoors, the section is flat and fully fenced, with lawn space for pets, gardening or future landscaping plans. A separate standalone garage, workshop shed and additional storage provide flexibility for tools, hobbies or beach gear. There is also ample off-street parking, with room for extra vehicles, a trailer or caravan.

Wakanui Beach is known for its rugged coastline, open skies and peaceful atmosphere - a world away from town, yet only around 15 minutes’ drive to Ashburton’s shops, cafés and everyday amenities. Whether you’re searching for a coastal base, a lock-and-leave escape or a property with potential to develop further, this is a rare opportunity in a unique seaside setting.

This is leasehold and the cost is $20 per year for The lease.
