Every coastal village has one bach everyone secretly wants. In Okarito, this is it, a hideaway in the heart of the village with all the character of a backcountry hut, none of the six-hour walk in, just add a solar panel and a fishing rod. Raised on timber piles on a section of approximately 512m2, this bach keeps things beautifully simple, one open-plan space with room for bunks, a table and a lounge, a kitchenette with bench and sink, and a separate bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity. The west-facing deck is where you'll end up each evening, beer in hand, watching the sun drop into the Tasman. There's no independent power connection. Connect to the grid or grab a simple solar setup and you've got the true off-grid West Coast bach you've been dreaming about. Alternatively, the property could be purchased together with either of the adjoining houses, with the potential to run power from next door. The property is on a shared septic tank system. This property is being offered on an "As Is, Where Is" basis and is subject to the issue of title. Prospective purchasers are advised to conduct their own independent due diligence and satisfy themselves with all aspects of the property prior to finalising a purchase, including connecting to the mains power if they think this necessary. Fish, whitebait, hunt, hike, kayak the lagoon, walk the coast - or do absolutely nothing at all. That's what Okarito is for. If you've been waiting for a piece of coastal paradise at an accessible price point, contact us today for further information.
