Overview

Landmark corner site metres from the sand

Positioned on a landmark 504sqm (more or less) freehold corner site just metres from the sand, this asset is a compelling opportunity in tightly held Whangamatā. Originally built in 1968 and expanded over time, the split-level home enjoys protected ocean views across the road and down through the adjacent walkway. An outlook that enhances both lifestyle and long-term value. The home offers three formal bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus an additional lower-level shower and toilet. Ideal after a day at the beach. Three separate living areas provide versatility for extended family living, holiday entertaining, or future reconfiguration. Internal access garaging is complemented by a separate single garage, ensuring ample space for vehicles, watercraft and beach equipment. The property is undeniably in need of some refurbishment to meet modern standards. However, for buyers with foresight, this represents genuine upside. Renovate and add value in a premium coastal position, or explore redevelopment potential afforded by the corner profile and proximity to the shoreline (subject to council approval). Location here is exceptional. With easy access to both the sweeping ocean beach and the calm, family-friendly estuary for safe swimming and boating. Whangamatā remains one of New Zealand’s most enduring coastal destinations, valued for its surf culture, vibrant village atmosphere, boutique retail and strong holiday demand. Opportunities this close to the beach, on freehold land with established view corridors, are increasingly scarce. For astute purchasers, this opportunity offers location, potential and long-term reward.
