11 High Street, Kakanui, Waitaki, Otago

Forget the shoebox holiday home. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom relocated and modernised charmer is where coastal living finally grows up without losing any of the fun. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a private ensuite under construction), with light-filled living spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. As a relocated home, you get the character and details you love along with the practical upgrades that matter new foundations, linings, wiring and plumbing, plus some double glazing and fully insulated to keep things comfortable year-round. Light-filled living spaces are anchored by a cosy wood burner, for when the southerly rolls in. The kitchen is modern with custom cupboards, wood bench tops, breakfast bar and well set-up ready for fish Fridays and everything in between. Two bathrooms will keep the morning scramble civilised, and the clever bunk setups in the bedrooms are a kid’s dream and an air BnB host’s secret weapon. All furnishings can be included. With the beach just minutes away and the local corner store down the street, you’ll love the convenience paired with a relaxed seaside lifestyle. A happy blue home sitting pretty on its kiwi quarter acre section with room to breathe, garden beds and fruit trees already going, and enough grass to kick a ball, park the kayaks, or do absolutely nothing in the sunshine. And then there’s the bonus… Downstairs offers a huge blank canvas ready for whatever you’ve been dreaming about – extra living space, a games room, guest zone, or the ultimate work-from-home setup-plus a double garage. The potential here is seriously exciting. Whether you’re chasing full-time coastal living, a weekend escape with room to have people over, or simply the next chapter after the family crib this one ticks the boxes without the usual compromise. Kakanui doesn’t give these up often and this one brings the fun as well as the function. Come and see why the blue house by the beach might just be your next move.
