Imagine waking to the sounds of birds and the gentle lapping of Ōhiwa Harbour, then ending your day with the most spectacular sunset over the water. This is part of daily life within the Ōhiwa Loop Road community.

Fresh on the market, number 132C offers a rare opportunity to secure a 1239sqm freehold harbourside lifestyle, where the harbour is at both your front and back doorsteps.

From your front deck, enjoy an expansive view across the harbour to Ōhope and out to sea, with Moutohorā visible in the distance.

From your conservatory at the back, watch the ebb and flow of the tide to the south. Harbourside living is never dull.

This is a tight-knit community, and opportunities to secure property on this arm of the harbour do not arise often, with many of the homes passing through generations.

Whether you’re seeking a permanent home, a weekend escape, or a place to gather with family and friends for an extended holiday, this property provides a welcoming haven at a very reasonable price.

The two-bedroom board and batten home is elevated and centrally positioned on its site. Thanks to a thoughtful design, it’s easy to enjoy views from any part of the house. It’s a little rustic and full of character – comfortable, welcoming, and a place where you will
immediately feel at home.

The living space is well laid out, featuring an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area at
the front of the house that opens onto a north-facing deck, along with a conservatory extension at the back that provides another large living/dining area.

One bedroom is at the front of the house (off the lounge), filled with light and opening via French doors to the main deck. The second bedroom is at the back, also with French doors that open to another deck.

The bathroom and laundry are combined for practicality, with a separate toilet.

The property boasts ample land, offering you the freedom to cultivate a thriving
garden, establish a private orchard, or simply enjoy the expansive space. There are already established fruit trees and vegetable gardens in place.

Additional features include a carport attached to the house, an additional caravan shelter elsewhere on the property, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after your harbour explorations.

This property enjoys close proximity to Ōhiwa Boat ramp, Whangakopikopiko Island, a protected wildlife reserve, and Onekawa Te Mawhai Regional Park loop walk.

Living here is about embracing a slow-paced lifestyle. It is for those who appreciate the simple pleasures: birdsong, calming waters, and the warmth of a community that values its natural environment.
