47 Lorna Irene Drive, Raumati South, Paraparaumu

After almost two decades of stress-free enjoyment, our vendors are downsizing from the beachfront home they have so carefully maintained. It’s never easy to leave a property like this — and one visit soon reveals why. Beachfront and brilliantly positioned, the outlook is exceptional. A sparkling, uninterrupted 180-degree panorama stretches across the ocean to Kapiti Island, Mana Island and beyond. From sunrise to golden sunsets, the ever-changing seascape becomes your daily backdrop. Elevated and occupying a commanding north-west facing position, this two-storey home offers privacy and presence from the moment you arrive via back-lit fish pond steps and waterfall. Open-plan living flows seamlessly through stacker doors and window louvres to a wraparound “infinity” deck reminiscent of a cruise ship’s bow. Entertaining is effortless with alfresco options on both sides, including a sheltered, covered courtyard for year-round enjoyment. A raised spa platform invites relaxed evenings with breathtaking views. Originally a 1940s bach, the home was extensively transformed between 2003–2005 into the substantial residence you see today. Native timber flooring blends character with modern comfort. Offering 3–4 bedrooms (including master with ensuite and walk-in robe), two additional bathrooms, double garaging and generous storage, it’s ready to enjoy as a permanent home or luxurious weekender. Between the property and the ocean, a concrete pedestrian pathway — part of the historic Old Coach route known as the Timber Trail and now the Te Araroa Walk — runs adjacent to the esplanade’s rocky sea wall and links you to Raumati South village and its popular eateries and well stocked dairy. With direct garden-gate access to the beach, easy strolls, swims, paddleboarding and walks to Queen Elizabeth Park are part of everyday life. A flat rear garden with productive veggie beds completes the picture. This is a must-see lifestyle opportunity in one of Raumati South’s most tightly held beachfront positions.
