Property Description

Deadline sale (unless sold prior) closing 12pm, Thu 19 Mar 2026

Just ten minutes down the road from one of New Zealand’s top beaches, this charming property offers plenty of upside for the astute buyer. The main cottage has been tastefully modernised while enhancing its original character.
A working coal range is thoughtfully integrated into the kitchen, providing winter warmth and a reliable backup during power outages plus a clever butler’s pantry tucked around the corner adding generous storage and bench space, while the island bench overlooks the dining area and valley beyond through bi-fold windows.
Open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge areas make family living easy and comfortable, with an ultra-light office for working from home.
The master bedroom is conveniently on the ground floor, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. The bathroom is bright and modern, featuring a gable ceiling that draws the eye to the tiled bath and rain shower.
Indoor-outdoor flow is effortless, with a welcoming front veranda and a rear deck—perfect for sun or sheltering from the prevailing weather. A cobbled brick patio with homemade pizza oven adds to the cottage charm, promising many evenings of fun and laughter.
A one-bedroom cottage sits privately away from the main house, ideal for Airbnb or extra guest accommodation. Quirky details abound, from timber-lined walls and feature fireplaces to a paneled-glass window between the kitchen and lounge that floods both spaces with natural light. The kitchenette features open shelving and a decorative coal range, while the lounge boasts a wooden surround fireplace and freestanding camp fire. The bedroom opens to a veranda and deck letting the you immerse yourself in nature and a modest bathroom features a clawfoot bath, copper shower, and toilet—charm and comfort throughout.
The property also offers a three-bay shed and three paddocks for a pony or a small flock of sheep. If you're looking for a self-sufficient lifestyle there is a well planted orchard with walnuts, olives, peaches and apples to name a few. Native regenerating bush featuring Totara is well established, with walking trails inviting exploration for both kids and adults.
With a footprint of just 2.6ha, this property presents endless options, including Airbnb income while enjoying a self-sufficient lifestyle. Located just a short drive from Le Bons Bay beach, it combines beachside living with opportunities for conservation projects, featuring a native plantation right on your doorstep. Maintenance is already taken care of, with the exterior recently painted and the interior tastefully modernised—ready to enjoy from day one.
