5/4142 Hampden-Palmerston Road, Moeraki, Waitaki, Otago

Like a bear emerging from hibernation, it's time to shake off winter and embrace the summer season ahead. As spring awakens the coastline, seals bask on the rocks, whales begin their migration and the beaches come alive. This extraordinary coastal retreat is ready for its next chapter. Set on 4 hectares of private coastal land with uninterrupted views from Moeraki Lighthouse to Shag Point, this architecturally inspired home enjoys a sheltered position just footsteps from Katiki Beach. Here, luxury, nature and natural wonder like the Moeraki boulders exist in perfect harmony. Designed to blend effortlessly with its native surroundings, the home showcases European lighting, bronze tapware, Italian clay tiles, handcrafted cabinetry and natural finishes that create warmth, character and timeless style. The light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen capture spectacular ocean views, flowing onto sheltered decks beneath a striking timber pergola. Wake each morning to the sound of waves and native birds from the peaceful master suite, while beautifully appointed bathrooms offer space for a sauna or freestanding bath. The generous laundry provides exceptional storage and outside access. Connected to the Oamaru water scheme, with tank storage and a massive filtration, comfort meets practicality. Timber boardwalks wind through established native gardens, granite boulders and easy-care landscaping. The lower and upper paddocks, enhanced by a natural spring, provide room for horses, pets or simply the privacy and space that only four hectares can offer. The substantial boat and caravan shed provides outstanding storage today, with exciting potential for additional accommodation (subject to council approval). From your deck, watch whales, dolphins, penguins and seals in their natural habitat. Explore nearby rock pools, ride horses along the beach, launch the boat at Shag Point or enjoy the cafés and charm of Moeraki. Every day feels like a holiday. A home that celebrates nature, privacy and coastal living in one of North Otago's most spectacular locations. Spring has arrived—come out of hibernation and discover your own slice of paradise.
