Overview

YOUR EVERYDAY COASTAL ESCAPE!

Waikawa Beach is Horowhenua's best-kept secret, with its long, luscious south end beach, Hank Edwards Reserve, Waikawa Stream, and pedestrian bridge at the end of Waikawa Beach Road delivering you to a stunning dune walk through to the north end beach. This 70s Lockwood home has access to all of this and retains 'that seventies flavour', on a large 1133sqm elevated section with its own back-gate entry for access to Waikawa Stream. It's an idyllic place to sit for an evening and enjoy recreation at your doorstep, pick up a kayak or two and enjoy the local spoils or head off for a walk and enjoy birdwatching for migratory shorebirds like kuaka/godwits! With an open kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms, laundry with bathroom, plus a west-facing master with ensuite on the main level, then a few steps down to a sunken lounge space and a sun-kissed conservatory to the northwest. There's extensive outdoor decking and patio space, and the property has some impressive steel fencing and deck structures. Single garage and workshop underneath, rainwater collection, plus a bore for extra water for the garden. A manageable section, well terraced with loads of lawn space for play, further planting, and plenty of room for the caravan or family to pitch a tent or two! Use as a permanent home or a bolthole to shake off the work week and enjoy your weekends with plenty to enjoy, along with the welcoming community of Waikawa. With the new expressway north now heavily underway, it's a good option for those seeking great access north and south and the perfect area to give you an everyday holiday feel with daily connection.
