Opportunity knocks in Opua
Perfectly positioned just 600 metres from the Opua Marina and only a short drive to Paihia, this versatile two-storey, four-bedroom home offers an exceptional opportunity in a sought-after coastal location.
North-facing and elevated to capture sweeping sea views over the yachts moored below, the home enjoys all-day sun and a light, airy aspect. The generous 1,012sqm (more or less) section offers low-maintenance landscaping and room to park the boat, leaving you more time to enjoy the coastal lifestyle.
Inside, the existing layout is already highly functional. The main level features a spacious open-plan lounge with a wood burner for cosy winter nights, a farmhouse-style kitchen and dining area, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The living space flows seamlessly to an extensive deck, where you can soak up the sea views, watch the sunset across the Waikare Inlet or admire the activity on the wharf below.
Downstairs is a real bonus: a fully self-contained apartment with its own deck and separate access, comprising a bedroom, bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. This flexible space is ideal for extended family, intergenerational living, guest accommodation or income potential. A freestanding garage completes the picture, providing secure parking and valuable storage.
Whether you're seeking a permanent home, a coastal getaway or a savvy investment, this property has all the makings of something special. With good bones and a desirable position, it's ready for its next chapter - whether that means modernising, adding value, or simply enjoying as is.
This is a rare chance to secure a home in a prime Opua location with so much upside.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
