ESTATE SALE — MUST BE SOLD
Price Guide: $840,000 – $870,000
Coastal Living, Space and Opportunity — Waiotahe
Just five minutes' walk from arguably one of the finest beaches on the East Coast, this elevated, coastal home offers an exceptional opportunity to secure space, privacy and lifestyle in the sought-after Waiotahe area.
Positioned between Ōhope and Ōpōtiki, in the peaceful cul-de-sac enclave of Paerata, the property enjoys coastal views across the ocean towards ‘ the Cape,’ and the Raukūmara Ranges. Set back, safe from the beachfront, it offers a welcome sense of seclusion while remaining a short walk to the sand, surf and coastal attractions.
Built in 1999 and occupying a generous 1,002 m² section, this substantial two-storey home offers exciting possibilities. Whether you are seeking a permanent family residence, a coastal holiday retreat, potential Airbnb accommodation or an opportunity to explore independent living arrangements, the flexibility is here to make it your own.
Upstairs — Living with a View
The upper level is designed around spacious, open-plan living. A country-style kitchen connects with generous dining and lounge areas, complemented by a solid-fuel fire and heat pump for year-round comfort.
Large sliding doors open onto a comfortable elevated balcony, creating a natural extension of the living space. Here, entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the coastal outlook become part of everyday life. Watch the boats on the ocean, take in the distant ranges and observe the developing marine industry associated with Ōpōtiki's expanding mussel-farming operations.
The master bedroom also opens directly onto the balcony, sharing those beautiful coastal views. It features a generous wet-floor ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A second bedroom, separate bathroom and toilet, together with ample storage, complete the upper level.
Downstairs — Flexibility and Independence
The ground floor offers further accommodation, including a spacious third bedroom with a ranch slider opening directly outdoors, a fourth bedroom, and a separate bathroom and toilet.
This layout provides genuine flexibility for extended family, guests, teenagers or potential independent living arrangements, subject to any necessary approvals.
A large double garage with automatic doors and workbench provides excellent practical space, while additional side parking accommodates a boat or trailer.
And for everyday convenience, a dumbwaiter lift makes transporting groceries and other items to the upper floor remarkably easy.
A Garden Alive with Nature
Beyond the home, the generous grounds offer an attractive combination of open space and established native vegetation. The lower section falls away into a sheltered green setting, where tūī and bellbirds frequent the flax and flowering pōhutukawa.
It is a peaceful natural environment that complements the coastal lifestyle, offering privacy, birdsong and the pleasure of living close to nature.
