78 Waitarere Rise, Waitarere, Horowhenua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Privately tucked away in Waitarere Rise, this striking architect-styled home pairs natural textures with effortless liveability. Clad in schist and timber, it feels at once modern and grounded, made for buyers who value design as much as the easy rhythm of coastal life.

Inside, soaring timber ceilings, slate-tiled floors and generous glazing create a sense of openness and warmth. The living space forms the heart of the home, anchored by a feature wood burner and framed by views of the native-style landscaping outside. A wall of bifold doors opens to the sun-filled deck, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding greenery.

The kitchen is beautifully proportioned with solid timber cabinetry, a central island and clean, practical finishes that balance modern convenience with natural character. The adjoining dining area looks out across the gardens, perfect for laid-back dinners or morning coffee in peace.

Downstairs, there is two light-filled bedrooms, the master with dual access to a sleek, tiled bathroom, separate toilet and a laundry with abundant built-in storage. Upstairs, a spacious mezzanine and a third bedroom with wardrobes offer versatility, ideal as a main suite, home office or creative studio.

Set on a generous 4,981 m² section, the property combines privacy with space to grow. Landscaped paths, established planting and manicured lawns shape a retreat-like atmosphere, while the elevated outlook keeps you connected to the coast and countryside alike. Beyond the home, a large freestanding garage and workshop provides covered parking, storage, or hobby space, and a dedicated water tank system for self-sufficiency.

Home & income - as an Airbnb, guests appreciate the beauty and location of this home. Minutes from Waitarere Beach, weekend walks, fishing, swimming and beachside cafés are all within easy reach.
