If getting into Mangawhai Heads has felt out of reach, this could be your way in. Set on a generous 611m² corner section just minutes from the beach, this 62m² home keeps things simple and practical. It’s a strong fit for first-home buyers, couples, or downsizers who value proximity to the water and low-maintenance living.

Inside, the L-shaped living, dining and kitchen area is straightforward and well connected. Sliding doors on either side open directly outdoors, making the home feel larger than its footprint suggests while allowing for easy indoor-outdoor flow and natural cross-breeze. The kitchen is compact and tidy, with everything within reach. Neutral tones and well-placed glazing maintain a bright, easygoing feel throughout the main living area.

There are two bedrooms, both with wardrobe storage. One is flexible, working well as a nursery, guest room or work-from-home office. The primary bedroom includes its own exterior access, a practical feature offering a sense of separation from the rest of the home. The bathroom is functional and easy-care, keeping daily routines simple.

Outside, the generous 611m² corner section is where this property opens up. A sheltered patio connects easily to the lawn, creating a simple spot for morning coffee or evening barbecues. The grassed area wraps around the home, offering room for pets, a veggie garden or future improvements to add value over time. With two off-street parks, it’s a practical lock-up-and-leave option that gives you flexibility outdoors.

Living here means quick access to the Mangawhai Heads surf beach, local cafés, shops and Mangawhai Beach School. Given the ongoing shortage of local visitor accommodation, this entry-level price tag also presents a compelling Airbnb prospect. Whether it’s paddleboarding before work or weekend markets with friends, everything is close by. Entry-level opportunities in Mangawhai Heads are increasingly hard to secure.
