76 Grange Road, Hahei, Thames-Coromandel

Dolphins on your doorstep

Upon entry to this 1990 architecturally designed hilltop home, be prepared to be swallowed by unbelievable views! With the clever layout of the sunken kitchen and family spaces to suggest the galley of a boat, a trick of the eye makes it seem like the ocean is but a step away, and the endless horizon is part of your floor plan. Perched high on the crest of the hill and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom split level beach house is making its first ever market debut. Set well back from the road with ample parking, this private, tranquil haven is filled with birdsong and the sound of the waves crashing on the shores of beautiful Hahei Beach below. Once you can tear yourself away from the mind-blowing vista of the ocean and the twin Pa sites on Te Pare Historic Reserve, you will step inside and never want to leave. Two separate chill zones share postcard worthy panoramas, with one space boasting a log burner and cosy window seat that will be hotly contested by its new owners! High, sarked ceilings featuring wooden beams add architectural interest and a sense of space while floor to ceiling windows ensure that sunrises and sunsets will never be the same for you again. A single, internal access garage contributes to the already abundant storage spaces in this home and offers additional potential of a simple conversion to a generous third bedroom or hangout space for teens. From initial purchase in 1984 as part of a gorse laden sub-division, this property has been completely transformed into a lush, tropical oasis. Exceptional landscaping design features a gorgeous blend of New Zealand Natives and rare Chatham Island planting. As a result, a leisurely walk down the garden steps to connect to a well-maintained public path to the beach is a tourist-worthy experience in itself. This property is going to auction and will sell. If endless summer swims, twilight beach walks, or just chilling on the deck to watch dolphins and orca play in the Bay appeal to you, call today!
