Little cottage, big possibilities
Tucked away on a generous 3,993sqm (more or less) section, this character-filled 1930s cottage offers something increasingly hard to find - plenty of land, established services and the freedom to imagine what comes next.
The two-bedroom home is simple, comfortable and full of the character of its era, with polished timber floors, original-style windows and an easy connection between the living, dining and kitchen areas. A heat pump provides year-round comfort, while a sunny enclosed sunroom opens directly to the deck and expansive lawn beyond.
Outside is where the possibilities really open up. Nearly an acre provides loads of room for children, pets, tents, boats and summer visitors, with scope for a shed, further landscaping or potential subdivision into three lots, subject to Council approval and all necessary consents. The expansive lawn and rural outlook create a relaxed, open setting.
Practicalities are already well covered, with the property connected to the Ōpoutama wastewater scheme, power connected and rainwater collection in place. The cottage has also benefited from a range of improvements, including insulation, a heat pump, reroofing in 2019 and interior renovations.
Beautiful Ōpoutama Beach is close by for swimming, surfing, fishing and long days by the sea, while Māhia Beach township, general store and boat ramp are just a short drive away.
Whether you're looking for a permanent home, an easy-going Māhia base or a property with space and potential to develop over time, 11 YMCA Road gives you plenty to work with - and the room to do it.
