Hapuapua Street, Raglan, Waikato

Sitting on the back deck of this stylish contemporary home, looking through the native bush canopy to the shimmering harbour below, you could be forgiven for thinking you are away from it all.   

Walk out the front door and you are amongst Raglans newest coastal community, Rangitahi, which houses a cafe, tennis court and soon-to-be built pool and daycare. You also have immediate access to the coastal walkway which circumnavigates the peninsular on the waters edge. An easy walk, bike or paddle board to nearby beaches and cafes. 

The well-thought-out floor plan allows the open plan kitchen, living, dinning and outdoor connected deck, to capture a tonne of sun; a great place to start your day with your morning coffee. Or access the water from the path directly below the home, where you can have your coffee as the kids throw a stick for the dog.

The three generous double bedrooms are positioned away from the living areas for privacy, while the master has an ensuite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and external access. The family bathroom includes a bathtub and standalone shower, while the internal access carpeted garage houses the laundry and makes it easy to access the outside shower, perfect after a day at the beach. The courtyard beside the garage is big enough to safely park your boat, campervan or jet ski within the home. 

The low maintenance landscaping gels with the modern aesthetic of the home, meaning all your quality time will be spent enjoying it and its immediate coastal surrounds.

If you are searching for a family holiday home with a solid Airbnb earning to cover costs, this could be the one, with a proven track record. Equally, the home could be your perfect permanent low maintenance coastal sanctuary.

The vibrant town hub is on your doorstep with amazing food and coffee, a plethora of arts, crafts and live music, while beaches, golf, day hikes, fishing and of course, world class surf spots are only moments away.
