40 Whakarite Road, Ostend, Waiheke Island, Auckland

On a generous 959 sqm freehold site, this 1950s Kiwi cottage blends charm, practicality, and potential. There's flexibility aplenty: a legalised visitor facility, once a garage, now with land use consent, offers options for guests, work, or hobbies. But please note: though the use is approved, the conversion (including the bathroom) doesn't have the required building consent. That's a future chapter for you to write.

Inside, the cottage welcomes you warmly. The kitchen and living area flow with ease, creating a relaxed, functional layout. A light-filled bedroom and tidy bathroom mean you can move right in, but there's still scope to put your own stamp on it over time. From the living space, step out onto the rear deck, a private and peaceful setting perfect for summer barbecues or relaxing evenings under the stars. The landscaped section provides ample room for gardens, pets and outdoor living, with scope to further enhance or personalise the space over time. There is also the added bonus of a separate auxiliary building and storage shed, providing additional space and flexibility to suit a variety of uses.

And it's all about location: Woolworths, cafes, the Saturday market, and transport are close at hand. Beaches, vineyards, and walking tracks are just a short drive away, putting you in the heart of Waiheke's lifestyle. Whether you dream of a permanent home, a holiday escape, or a savvy investment, 40 Whakarite Road invites you to write the next chapter.
