Ocean View Cottage
Just a short drive from the heart of Karamea township, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom home is a true sanctuary. Perched on elevated land with no flood or tsunami risk, it offers uninterrupted ocean views with glorious sunsets in one direction, and sweeping mountain vistas towards Kahurangi National Park in the other. The home is surrounded by a rich tapestry of native flora. It boasts a frost-free microclimate, warmed by gentle winds from the nearby Oparara River. It’s a peaceful and private setting, yet incredibly convenient—an easy 5 to 10-minute cycle into town, with school bus and rural post delivery at the gate. The famous Heaphy Track is just a ten-minute drive away, and the Oparara River and Fenian Track are within walking distance. The property itself is a self-sufficiency haven, featuring a fenced 50-square-metre organic garden, a chicken coop, and over 50 thriving fruit and nut trees, including feijoas, plums, cherries, peaches, apples, mandarins, bananas, hazelnuts, avocados, and more, many of which are planted in a sheltered orchard area. Three covered porches offer year-round enjoyment, with one ideally suited as an informal greenhouse for seedlings. Inside, the home has been lovingly updated with a brand-new kitchen and bathroom, beautiful hardwood floors, wool carpeting, vaulted ceilings, and a cosy wetback woodburner. Additional improvements include a new roof, piles, a hot water cylinder, and full insulation. There’s even a stylishly converted playroom/library or work area with charming barn doors, and a separate shed that serves as an office, studio, or creative retreat - complete with high-speed Internet. This property is ideal for young families, digital professionals, artists, writers, musicians, or anyone dreaming of a tranquil holiday home or a nature-based getaway. With excellent AirBnB potential and so much already in place, it’s ready to enjoy or share. The vendors are heading overseas and are genuinely motivated to sell. Please call Paul today for more information and come and see it before it’s snapped up by another lucky buyer.

Here's a rare opportunity to purchase an elevated house section near town with a pleasant rural aspect and views inland of the Kahurangi National Park and west to the Tasman Sea. The property has tar-sealed road access and mains power at the boundary, is on the school bus route and the rural postal delivery network. It's a two-minute drive from the amenities, services and facilities on offer in the township of Karamea, which include a brand-new area school (under construction), supermarket, cafes, restaurants, bars, museum, swimming pool, tennis courts, medical centre and pub. The section is ideal for a family or retirement home, a rural getaway or a base for a person with an Internet-based vocation to set up and work from home. Sections in Karamea are not often available and are as rare as unicorn droppings...if I had the pockets, I'd buy it myself! Have a look at this excellent section in a great location.

This solidly constructed, cosy, three-bedroom cottage is outstanding in its field. How would you like to live in a paddock without immediate neighbours, near the Oparara River and Kahurangi National Park, listening to your favourite tunes on maximum volume, growing healthy natural food in the established gardens, enjoying myriad birdsongs, breathing deeply the fresh West Coast air? Never again be troubled by uninvited guests like door-to-door salespeople hawking their wares, political candidates seeking your vote, distant relatives seeking money or religious zealots touting their theologies? Live as YOU like, five minutes from the convenience of town, but miles from anywhere. Clothing optional!

This property was recently the hub of a working dairy farm. All the plant and equipment are fully operational and in good order. This property also includes over 17Ha of productive farmland, a 5-bedroom/2 lounge house in good condition, and a three-bay farm shed. It has potable water well, is well-fenced and is located about 5 km from the Karamea township just off the Karamea Highway. Looking west from the house is a view of the Tasman Sea, and inland is a panorama of the forested mountains of the Kahurangi National Park. The property adjoins 77 Ha of marshland and native bush, which is also for sale. This property awaits a creative thinker who can see it for what it could be, not for what it has been. For more information or to arrange an inspection of the property, please call Paul.
