If you're after a home that offers a little bit of the wow factor, this property is well worth a look. Set on a generous 4,047m² section (more or less), approximately 35 minutes north of Westport towards Karamea, it enjoys beautiful sea views, established gardens and plenty of space to make the most of coastal living.

The home is approximately 130m² and offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and a separate toilet. A real highlight is the large deck, which connects nicely with the lounge and kitchen and provides a great spot to sit back, enjoy a morning coffee or take in the views across the sea.

The current owner has put a lot of time and money into improving the property, with work including new piles, roofing, double glazing, an updated kitchen and bathroom, electrical wiring and extensive landscaping. Much of the hard work has already been taken care of, leaving you more time to enjoy what's on offer.

Outside, the property has plenty to appreciate, with mature nikau palms, established fruit trees including nectarine, tangelo, lemon and mountain pawpaw, along with large tunnel houses and a polyhouse. The generous land area and naturally warm microclimate make this a great spot for keen gardeners, with plenty of opportunity to grow a wide variety of plants, fruit and vegetables.

There's also a separate single-bay garage, offering handy storage, workshop space or somewhere to pursue a few hobbies.

With its sea views, mature tropical-style gardens, productive growing areas and a home that has seen some major improvements, there's a lot to like here. If you've been looking for an affordable coastal property with space, a great outlook and plenty already done, this could be just what you've been waiting for.
