Looking for a buyer with vision

Iconic, quirky, and if you’re a buyer with a vision, this could be the property of a lifetime.

At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, set majestically on the cliff-faced coast, this unique location is virtually unbeatable when it comes to X-factor views and privacy.

The former dwelling was developed and crafted by an innovative local resident who used his skills to create a home ahead of its time. Now, only the concrete-block basement with its 180-degree panorama remains, allowing a new owner an outstanding opportunity to transform this site back into functional and luxury living.

Potential options could include remodeling the basement into a holiday bach or possibly using it as the foundation of building a new, larger home, using the footprint of the existing building as the basis. (Subject to all Council, building, and engineering-related approvals and consents).

Stunning Onaero is a small Taranaki seaside settlement 21km along the coast from New Plymouth.

While the property has been well-protected by the seawall, which was engineered and built more than 40 years ago, it does sit in the recognised coastal hazard zone. Whatever your vision, serious due diligence will be required.
