Overview

Coastal Homestead – Charm and Space Combined

Nestled on 3 hectares of picturesque land, just moments from a sweeping sandy beach, this much-loved lifestyle property offers a rare opportunity to embrace the warmth and simplicity of traditional country living—without leaving convenience behind. Just 1 minute to Brighton and only 22 minutes to central Dunedin, it's where the charm of a rural lifestyle meets the ease of coastal town access. With the current owners relocating overseas, they are genuinely motivated to sell—making this the perfect chance to secure the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. At the heart of this special offering is a beautifully built 1950s character home, lovingly maintained and full of soul. Solid, timeless, and built to last, it radiates the craftsmanship and quality of its era—warm timber finishes, thoughtful proportions, and a sense of enduring comfort that newer builds often lack. This is a home that has stood the test of time and continues to offer both beauty and function in equal measure. This is a place where life slows down and moments matter—whether it’s swimming or horse riding along the shore on long summer days, harvesting your own firewood, or enjoying home-cooked meals by the warmth of the wood burner. Live simply and sustainably with a natural spring, rainwater collection, and mature trees offering both beauty and practicality. The land is thoughtfully laid out with fenced paddocks, a large workshop (easily converted into stables), a triple bay shed, and ample storage—ideal for hobby farming, tinkering, or welcoming animals. The fully insulated outhouse, complete with laundry and toilet, adds versatility as a charming guest suite, home office, or bathroom extension. Inside the main home, you’ll find one and a half bathrooms with three comfortable double bedrooms downstairs, while the private upstairs master retreat features sea views, a walk-in robe, its own toilet, and a balcony to savour your morning coffee in peace. This is a home that holds stories. From its solid 1950s bones to the sun-drenched living spaces and warm, welcoming layout, every corner speaks of a simpler time—now enhanced with modern comforts like full insulation, a wood burner, heat pump, and heat transfer system to keep you cosy through every season. Step outside to a sheltered patio and BBQ area—perfect for slow Sunday lunches, family gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars. For those seeking more, a walk up the rear hill rewards with sweeping 180-degree coastal views—an inspiring spot for a tiny home, artist’s retreat, or boutique BnB. Whether you're dreaming of a seaside haven, a working lifestyle block, or a place for your family to grow and thrive, this home invites you to live with intention—spacious, self-sufficient, and surrounded by nature. Traditional charm, coastal breezes, and a beautifully preserved piece of 1950s architecture—all just minutes from town. We look forward to welcoming you at the open home.
