225 Kuku Beach Road, Manakau

Tucked well back from the road down a long driveway, this charming 1937 character villa enjoys wonderful privacy and all-day sun in a peaceful rural setting. Full of space and character, the home offers three generous double bedrooms and two separate living areas, giving families plenty of room to spread out. The large main lounge sits off the kitchen and is warmed by a woodburner, creating the perfect gathering space during the cooler months. A second lounge with an open fireplace provides great flexibility — ideal as another living area or even a fourth bedroom if needed. The spacious kitchen, separate laundry, and family bathroom with wet-floor shower and heated towel rail provide practical everyday living, while ceiling and underfloor insulation help keep the home comfortable year-round. The exterior has also been recently painted, adding to the home’s overall appeal. Set on 1.4 hectares (approx 3.5 acres), the land is divided into three paddocks, making it perfect for a few animals, kids’ ponies, or simply enjoying the space and freedom of rural living. Water is supplied from a bore, with a newly installed pump delivering water directly to the home. For those needing sheds and storage, there’s a substantial three-bay enclosed shed (approximately 21m x 6m) with a hay shed or calf-rearing area, along with a single garage with lean-to. Located just 10km south of Levin — around a 10-minute drive to town — this property offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country living while still being close to local amenities. The school bus stops at the gate, and the property is zoned for the popular Ohau Country School. If you’ve been looking for space, character, and a touch of rural lifestyle, this property is well worth your inspection.
