Te Horo is well-known for being a relaxed beachside sanctuary full of characterful baches and an excellent coastal lifestyle; rarely do properties of this calibre come up along sought-after Rodney Avenue.

Situated opposite the very first bach ever built in the area, this award-winning and elevated architectural gem was constructed in 2007 to capture sunlight from all angles, with mezzanine views overlooking the sea and Tararua Ranges.

Designed by Bruce Barry Architects, expansive living flows onto a spacious west-facing deck for an afternoon drink with the sea breeze or a morning coffee to the east, overlooking your private rear yard and garden. If you prefer a private evening, gather around the fire pit in the backyard under the night sky and roast marshmallows. There's also a fully self-contained sleepout for guests or family, and a tool shed with a clever and cosy wine o'clock viewing platform on top.

A fantastic entertainer's home, with an open plan kitchen and dining area and plenty of beach bach charm - although just eighteen years old, it fits seamlessly with the flavour of Te Horo. Stunning beach walks, a short stroll or ride to the lovely Bus Stop café, and a bus to the excellent Te Horo School. There is plenty of community activity to get involved with or simply hunker down and enjoy coastal life.

Ample rainwater collection, an on-site bore for irrigation, an instant gas feature fireplace, and wired for security and fibre internet. The mezzanine is a masterstroke, running the full depth of the home, perfect for additional accommodation, a work-from-home office, or a studio with views.

From ‘classic Kiwi camping' beginnings, 8 Rodney Avenue has been held and loved by the current owners for over two decades. Now is a great opportunity for someone new to cherish and enjoy it.

With potential for home and income, a holiday retreat, or a family home, there are many ways to enjoy this lovely property.
