Embrace the serenity of off-grid living with a modern twist at this stunning 5.43-hectare Wainui lifestyle block overlooking Ōhiwa Harbour.

Elevated and sitting high above one of the harbour’s many arms, it combines natural beauty, modern design, and self-sufficiency in a charming package.

With two newly built dwellings and ample space for grazing animals, it is a rare find that promises a unique lifestyle with potential income opportunities.

As you enter the property via a meandering gravel driveway, you will first encounter the self-contained studio which includes a full kitchen, open-plan dining and lounge, and a comfortable bedroom. With its own private, sheltered patio – including an outdoor bath – the studio is perfect for accommodating visitors or to provide extra income via Airbnb.

Just beyond is the main dwelling, a beautifully designed three-bedroom home that faces north and offers sweeping rural and harbour views.  

The light-filled open-plan living areas feature sloped ceilings and a neutral décor that is complemented by stunning polished
concrete floors. The predominantly black and white palette beautifully harmonises with earthy tones, creating an inviting atmosphere befitting the surrounds.

Central to this home is the showcase kitchen, well-equipped with modern appliances and designed for both functionality and style. Many of the utilities are conveniently located in the adjacent scullery/laundry, which
features expansive stainless-steel benches and plenty of storage.

The open layout seamlessly flows into the dining and living areas, which extend
outdoors to a paved courtyard perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars. An outdoor bath nestled beside the main house provides further opportunities for stargazing and relaxation.

Two of the three bedrooms open directly to the outdoors – and the peaceful rural and harbour views. The bathrooms, including the en suite, are modern retreats featuring gorgeous tiles that echo the home’s overall aesthetic.

One of the property’s standout features is its emphasis on sustainability. Equipped with a log fire with a wet back, double glazing, and complete insulation, the home ensures year-round comfort.

A solar electric system, combined with a 30,000-litre water storage setup that draws from dual spring and rain catchment supplies, allows for truly off-grid living. Additionally, an efficient gas hot water system and a backup generator to charge the battery bank further enhance the self-sustaining lifestyle.

The expansive flat lawn surrounding the main house is ideal for children and pets to play, making it a family-friendly oasis.
