247B Stanley Road, Wainui, Whakatane

Live by the rhythm of the changing tides at this hillside hideaway. This 3 hectare block with a 2 bedroom house is a versatile slice of paradise, offering grazing land, ponds, expansive views out over Ohiwa Harbour and the countryside, and lots of potential. With space to create vegetable gardens, plant an orchard, keep a few animals or build another shed, the property offers a fairly blank canvas upon which to craft your ideal lifestyle. The address is 9km from Ohope, 17km from Whakatane and 25km to Opotiki - conveniently located just off Wainui Road - and yet is completely private with the feeling of a rural getaway. Everything a couple or small family might need: There is space in front of the property for at least 2 cars, with sheds and a covered patio out back, a clothesline, 2 decent-sized bedrooms as well as an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room that then flow nicely out onto the front deck with the stunning view as the backdrop.

Situated in the heart of Wainui, a charming bungalow-style home with beautiful original features looks out from its elevated position over the surrounding countryside and saltmarsh. This home is perfect for a growing family or a downsizing rural couple as it is ideally situated on just over 5000m2 of land - offering a peaceful rural outlook but located only 10km from Ohope Beach. There is a cosy three-bedroom home with plenty of extra storage, as well as separate workshop spaces and a large shed. The north and west-facing porch is ideal for hosting a BBQ in the afternoon sun, while kids will be able to create endless adventures in the orchard behind the house. A fully-fenced paddock at the back of the property would also allow you to keep a couple of animals as part of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Directly across the main road is the Nukuhou Saltmarsh walk as well as a popular whitebaiting spot, with access to Ohiwa harbour via the river mouth. While older homes are sometimes cold and draughty, this one offers no such compromise: a fireplace offers cosy, atmospheric warmth in winter, but it is the under-floor, extensive heat-pump system, vented to all parts of the home, that would allow a year-round level of comfort rarely experienced in NZ homes. With vendors moving to the South Island, this home will be sold.
