8 Marine Parade, Wairoa, Hawke's Bay

Once a Masonic Lodge and now an exceptional residential opportunity, this unique property sits directly opposite Alexandra Park and just moments from Wairoa’s town centre, community gym, pool and main street amenities. Originally opened in 1965, the Lodge was constructed to the superior standards of its era - over 330m² of solid concrete pad, block foundations and robust concrete block walls. This is a property built to last. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, the layout now offers outstanding flexibility for home-and-income living. The main residence functions as a stylish boutique home featuring a spacious bedroom, modern bathroom and generous living spaces. Adjacent is a fully self-contained two-bedroom wing, complete with its own private entrance and outdoor space, with plenty of parking, suitable for guests, extended family, or a steady income stream. Gas hot water keeps outgoings low and predictable. A standout feature is the expansive, Lodge room. Cavernous and truly one-of-a-kind, it opens the door to an array of income or lifestyle uses. Think studio, workshop, creative space, home-based business, or boat and vehicle storage. You need to see this space to appreciate it’s capacity. Retirees will appreciate the secure, undercover motorhome parking while continuing to earn from the accommodation wing. Remote workers will love the ability to host clients without compromising the privacy of their home. And families can absolutely enjoy the layout as a spacious three bedroom, two bathroom residence. Consented flood-mitigation work offers additional peace of mind, with a stopbank planned to run along Alexandra park’s river edge, an important reassurance for safeguarding your home and insurable asset. This is a rare chance to secure a flexible, future-proofed home with genuine income potential right in the heart of Wairoa.
