1429 Coast Road, Karitane, Dunedin, Otago

Built in 2015, this modern haven offers a lifestyle defined by warmth, space, and a deep connection to nature. Perfectly positioned for those who work in Dunedin but want to come home to a spacious garden and the scent of the sea, this property serves as a wonderful family home or a holiday sanctuary.

At the heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen featuring hard timber countertops and sleek polished concrete flooring. This adjoins the large, sunny, open-plan living area, which faces north and west with expansive views of the garden.

Stay cozy with the high-performance Pyroclassic woodburner—renowned for its efficiency—supported by a heat pump and a full HRV system for a dry, healthy home. Down the hallway, you will find three genuine bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom is a romantic retreat, lit by the morning sun and featuring a tri-fold door that opens directly onto the verandah.

Key to the home's livability is a dedicated laundry and a large family bathroom boasting a luxurious deep bathtub, separate from the fully enclosed shower. The bathroom and laundry feature polished exposed-aggregate concrete floors, offering a durable, modern aesthetic that is as practical as it is beautiful.

Spend your afternoons on the expansive verandah or host summer gatherings on the dedicated sunny BBQ deck, admiring the beautifully landscaped, mature section edged with trees and host to plentiful birdlife. The driveway and garage are fenced off, with an additional secure fenced area around the deck, providing a safe haven for kids and pets to play. Bordered by established hedges and a paper road on the north side, the property is exceptionally private.

The oversized garage is a dream for the hobbyist or adventurer. With a dedicated workshop space, a storage mezzanine, and ample room for kayaks, mountain bikes, and weekend toys, you’ll never run out of space. Plus, with 4+ off-street parking spaces, there is plenty of room for a boat or caravan.

The edge of the Waikouaiti River is across the road, where you can watch the birdlife or play on the water. Alternatively, take a short walk to the Karitane General Store, the estuary mouth, and the beautiful Karitane surf beach.

The property is a short drive off the highway with an easy, scenic 30-minute commute to the Dunedin CBD. High-speed connectivity and a peaceful environment also make this the perfect base for remote professionals.

Currently used as a holiday retreat by the owner with occasional short-term accommodation guests, the home is well-maintained and in great shape. It is ready for you to move in and enjoy, or to utilise as a lucrative rental given the easy commute to Dunedin.
