112 Kahukura Avenue, Waitarere Beach, Horowhenua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Originally built in the 1960s as a fire watchtower for the forestry service, this extraordinary structure was decommissioned, relocated, and in 2017 reimagined into one of Waitarere Beach’s most iconic homes. Set across three levels, this unique residence offers panoramic views stretching from the shores of Waitarere to the distant ranges. From its elevated position, enjoy breathtaking sunsets and a perspective unlike any other on the coast.

At the top, the master suite features a private ensuite and access to a stunning wraparound deck. The second floor houses a spacious second bedroom with ample storage. On the ground level, open-plan living flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the sunroom, out to the deck and into the living area, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow. Low-maintenance gardens, a second bathroom, and a laundry with outdoor access add ease to everyday living. A staircase leads to a large car park and double garage, secured behind an electric gated entrance. The garage has been engineered to allow for future construction above, offering exciting potential for expansion.

Waitarere Beach offers a strong sense of community and a laid-back coastal lifestyle. There’s nothing quite like this!
