Here’s your chance to secure a premium spot overlooking Ōhiwa Harbour.

This Ōhope home impresses from the moment you step inside with its sweeping harbour views bringing with them a feeling of calm and relaxation.

It’s what drew the current owners to the property almost 10 years ago, and the home has lived up to all expectations, providing the perfect place to unwind – first as a holiday escape from their busy city lives and then as a permanent home.

With new adventures planned, they have reluctantly decided to sell and give another couple – or family – a chance to enjoy their special place on Harbour Road.

The 230-square-metre home spans two levels and has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its connection to the water and allow for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.

Over the two levels, there are five spaces in which to relax and enjoy the view – a front courtyard with water feature, a lower-level deck just a few metres from the harbour, and three upstairs balconies.

Open the front door to this home and your eye goes directly down the wide hallway to the harbour beyond. This home is full of such clever design.

Downstairs you will find two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a lounge/family
room which includes a study nook and a kitchenette. The laundry is in the internal
access double garage.

With its floor-to-ceiling windows, the lounge is the perfect place to enjoy the scenery whatever the weather. In summer, throw open the doors and relax on the deck beneath the giant pohutukawas or wander down the water for a swim, paddleboard or kayak.

The adjacent bedroom also comes with a water view and opens to the deck, which spans the breadth of the house.

The second bedroom is streetside with access to a private, tropical courtyard.
Completing the downstairs is a fully tiled bathroom with bath and walk-in shower.

The main living areas are upstairs with the gourmet kitchen opening to an eastern
balcony that is ideal for breakfast. The dining room opens to its own outdoor area.

Whatever the sun – or the wind – there is a pleasant place to sit outside with perhaps the best views coming from the balcony off the upstairs lounge which overlooks the harbour. The master bedroom with en suite and walk-through wardrobe is also a room with a view.

Other features of this home that might not be instantly obvious include the integrated sound system and the solar system. The owners have not had a power bill for the past three years.
