An easy walk to Ōtaki Beach, this approximately 60m² cottage sits on an 801m² corner section. The cottage is compact, and that’s part of the appeal: there’s a home here now and space to explore the possibility of adding a second dwelling.

Inside, the kitchen and living area are open plan, with a heat pump for year-round comfort. There is one double bedroom and one single, and the separate laundry opens directly outside. The kitchen and bathroom are original, and the interior is dated and showing some wear. It would benefit from redecorating, giving you the chance to choose colours and finishes that suit your taste.

Outside, the fully fenced grounds have little landscaping, so you can decide where to add garden beds or set up a spot to eat outdoors. The standalone single garage has room for bikes and beach gear, with additional off-street parking. From here, you can leave the car at home and walk to the beach, the surf club or Waitohu Stream..

For a first-home buyer, it’s a straightforward way to get started near the coast. For someone after a bach or thinking ahead about how to live close to family, it’s the combination of an existing cottage and the land around it that makes this place worth a look.
