Sunny Coastal Kiwi Bach with Stunning Rural Views

Embrace the authentic New Zealand beach lifestyle in this charming 1960s Kiwi bach, perfectly positioned to capture all-day sun and spectacular westward views across rolling farmland to the hills beyond. This peaceful retreat sits on a generous quarter-acre section in a quiet cul-de-sac, offering the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility.

The Space
Step into a bright, open-plan living area that forms the heart of this classic beach house. Two cozy bedrooms branch off the main space, while a modern heat pump ensures year-round comfort. The sunroom is a delightful bonus space, seamlessly connecting to a private deck through bi-fold doors – an ideal spot for your morning coffee or evening wine while soaking in the rural vistas.

The bathroom facilities include a well-appointed shower room with basin and heating, separate laundry facilities, and a discrete toilet. For extra guests or the kids' adventure, there's a classic Kiwi sleepout equipped with bunk beds.

Outdoor Living
The spacious deck is a true highlight, capturing fantastic sun throughout the day and providing an elevated vantage point for the beautiful pastoral views. The gently sloping, largely lawn section offers plenty of space for children to play and explore safely. There's convenient off-street parking for three vehicles in tandem.

Location
Nestled in the charming coastal village of Karitane, this bach offers the quintessential New Zealand beach experience. Just a five-minute stroll brings you to both the sheltered harbor and the magnificent beach. The local peninsula store is also within easy walking distance, providing all your basic needs.
