49 Totara Avenue, Pakawau, Tasman

Absolute waterfront - Golden Bay at your doorstep

Stop the search as you've just found a truly special, absolute waterfront cottage in the heart of Pākawau!

Positioned on the seaside of Totara Avenue on a full 809sqm section, this charming three-bedroom home offers what so many buyers search for and so rarely secure.

Step down your own concrete stairs to the water's edge.
Wake to breathtaking sunrises over golden sands.
Swim in calm, safe waters.
Fish, walk the estuary, paddle at dusk, or simply sit back and listen to the birdsong.

The cottage is warm and comfortable, with insulation in both the walls and ceiling, three bedrooms and generous living that looks out to the sea. Practical in layout with a separate bathroom, laundry and toilet, it retains its classic bach character. The property has been re-roofed and the deck re-clad. A wood burner keeps things cosy through the cooler months and a private reticulated water scheme adds everyday ease. Full of coastal charm, the interior provides a wonderful blank canvas for those wanting to personalise and create their own beachfront retreat over time.

Surrounded by abundant birdlife, this is Pākawau, home of the shag. Swans glide past, Penguins visit, Tūī call from the trees and nature quite literally becomes part of daily life.

Whether you're searching for a permanent coastal lifestyle, the perfect beachfront bach or a future focused investment, this property offers flexibility and long-term appeal. Furniture is negotiable for those wanting a true walk-in, ready to enjoy holiday home.

Pākawau is a peaceful coastal settlement with a local store, petrol bowsers, café and school bus route, just 15 minutes to Collingwood and 35 minutes to Takaka. It's a slower pace of life that so many are now seeking.

Waterfront properties along Totara Avenue are tightly held, highly sought after and opportunities like this are rare. Call Claire for all the details.
