11A Kutarere Wharf Road, Kutarere, Waiotahe, Opotiki

Good looks, great views, gorgeous charm

Situated near the edge of the Ohiwa Harbour, head across a charming timber bridge over the Kutarere Stream and you will find this beautifully renovated bungalow which offers the perfect blend of timeless country charm and modern comfort. Set on a generous 4,606 sqm (more or less), this is an opportunity to experience coastal lifestyle living without the hefty price tag.

The outside has been lovingly revived, with a recently replaced roof, fresh paint and double glazing. The character appeal flows through into the indoors where the floor coverings have been replaced and the walls painted a fresh white. The warmth and character of this renovated home is reflected in each of the rooms which are bright, light filled and practical.

The true heart of this home is the family living area, with a northwestern aspect, windows taking in the harbour and rural surrounds and french doors opening out to the large deck. This space is kept comfortable with a cozy wood burner and large heat pump. The spacious open-plan large modern country-style kitchen has plenty of bench space, storage and a generous double-wide Irish tub. This is the area of the home you will never want to leave.

There are three generous bedrooms, each with ample wardrobe storage. The bathroom adds another touch of yester-year charm with a freestanding clawfoot bath. Entering from the rear of the home there is a large mudroom-laundry, this fantastic design feature is a practical country essential, offering plenty of space to kick off the boots and keep rural life organised.

Accessed from the living area or hall, the large, partly covered north-facing deck creates an exceptional spot for morning coffee, summer entertaining or simply soaking up the peaceful rural outlook. There is space out here for separate zones for dining, cooking and relaxing whilst taking in the stunning views out over rural farmland to the Ohiwa Harbour.

The Kutarere Stream meanders through the two small paddocks which are suitable for sheep or a pony, around the house you will find established fruit trees and space for a large vege garden and chooks. A double garage with workshop provides excellent storage and workspace, complemented by a dedicated woodshed.

Located less than half an hour from Whakatane and a mere six-minute drive to the Ohiwa Boat Ramp, this is a rare chance to secure a well-presented lifestyle property with water views at an accessible price point.
