There's a particular pleasure in standing on your own deck with a coffee, watching the sun come up over your expansive view of the east coast while the chooks stir below and the sea sits blue on the horizon. That's the morning this property offers, and it's the reason the deck - large, partly enclosed, sheltered when the wind's up - is where you'll spend most of your time. From here you can survey part of land that you own which includes paddocks, abundant gardens and fruit trees, and a wetland that the birds love.

The house is a tidy and well looked after two-level home, with the living areas and master upstairs where the views are. Nothing needs doing. Downstairs there's a garage you can get to from inside, with space for a workshop, and a stair chair between the levels so getting up and down is future-proofed.

The hectare itself is a real gem. It's mostly easy contour, fenced into several paddocks with bore water supplying the troughs and the house - macadamias, walnuts, a mature avocado orchard, fruit trees, established vegetable gardens, a hothouse and a shade house so you can be self-sufficient year-round. Chickens have several enclosures set up and the land would support a few animals. A separate self-contained unit sits tucked in the garden, private from the main house with a shared laundry located between the two, which opens up options for guests, family living close by, or offers income potential.

It's eight minutes to the supermarket at Opotiki, so this isn't remote living - it's rural living with the shops down the road and the coast on your doorstep. Retired couples, families with teenagers, and households doing the two-generation thing will all see something here, and there's plenty of scope to keep shaping it.
