Some properties offer a place to live. Others offer a way of life. This is a property you really need to experience to appreciate, because while the photographs can capture the breathtaking coastal views, they cannot capture the feeling of standing here and taking it all in for yourself. For the current owners, this remarkable coastal lifestyle property has been a place of peace, pride and unforgettable moments. From watching breathtaking sunrises transform the landscape each morning to unwinding in the evening as the lights of cruise liners and squid boats drift across the horizon, they have embraced everything this exceptional setting has to offer. Now, as they look towards the next chapter and make the decision to downsize, they know it is time to pass this special property on to new custodians. While it is bittersweet to leave a home they have loved, they are excited for someone new to enjoy the lifestyle, the space and the memories waiting to be made here. Importantly, their decision to downsize means the opportunity is now very real for someone looking to secure something truly special, and if you have been watching from the sidelines, this is the time to come and see it for yourself.
Positioned to capture sweeping coastal views, this outstanding lifestyle property delivers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. Located just 30 minutes from Dunedin’s CBD, your commute becomes one of New Zealand’s most scenic drives, following the coastline before arriving home to your own private sanctuary. Brighton is just 10 minutes away for everyday essentials, while Taieri Mouth is only six minutes from your gate, perfect for launching the boat or jet ski, casting a line from the bridge, or simply making the most of this spectacular stretch of coastline. It is close enough to the city to remain convenient, yet far enough away to give you that genuine feeling of escape that so many lifestyle buyers are searching for.
Built just nine years ago, the substantial 285sqm home has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, providing the space, comfort and functionality that make everyday life easy. Four generous bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, include a spacious master complete with its own ensuite, while a family bathroom caters comfortably for the rest of the household. Full insulation, aluminium double glazing with argon gas thermal break technology and two wood burners, one with a wetback, provide warmth and comfort throughout the seasons. The north-facing patio and expansive deck are where this home truly comes alive, inviting you to entertain family and friends, enjoy a quiet morning coffee or simply sit back and take in the ever-changing coastal panorama. Imagine starting your day with the sunrise stretching across the landscape, or finishing it with the lights of boats and vessels appearing across the horizon. These are the moments that photographs simply cannot replicate.
Outside, the property continues to impress with four well-fenced paddocks, new boundary fencing, two 25,000-litre water tanks and an internal-access double garage. The impressive four-bay shed adds another layer of versatility, featuring three lined and wired rooms with a concrete floor, ideal as a workshop, hobby space, home business, studio or additional storage. There is room here to pursue the lifestyle you have been thinking about, whether that means enjoying the land, getting stuck into a project, keeping the toys and equipment, or simply having the space to spread out and breathe.
But what truly sets this property apart is not simply the quality of the home or the practicality of the land. It is the lifestyle. It is the sense of space, the connection to nature, the ever-changing coastal outlook and the feeling of arriving somewhere truly special every single day. The vendors have cherished their time here and have created memories that will stay with them long after they leave, but downsizing is now the priority and they are committed to passing this unique property on to its next owners. That creates an opportunity for someone else to step in, make it their own and begin writing the next chapter.
So, if you have been searching for a modern coastal lifestyle where comfort, space, land and breathtaking scenery come together, do not simply scroll past this one or assume you know what it feels like from the photographs. Come and experience it. Walk the land, stand on the deck, take in the views and picture your life here. Properties with this combination of location, scale, modern construction, versatility and outlook do not come along every day, and with the vendors ready to downsize, the opportunity is here now. We look forward to welcoming you at the open home.
