45 Manly Street Paraparaumu Beach, Kapiti Coast District

They certainly don't make them like this anymore. An iconic old bach, an extraordinary beachfront site, and the chance to enjoy one while you contemplate the future of the other.

Sitting absolute beachfront at the exclusive southern end of Manly Street, Shellhaven takes its name quite literally. From the upper-level lounges, captivating views stretch across the water, with a stable, settled dune setting to the water's edge. Sunshine, sea and sky dominate - the beach is quite literally your backyard.

The bach itself is a wonderfully unconventional survivor from the days when baches were baches. Sleeping spaces appeared wherever a bed would fit, ceiling heights were apparently optional and, fast-forward to today, we're not sure any of the rooms with beds can be classed as bedrooms! Quirky, imperfect and completely unapologetic.

Enjoy the last of Shellhaven's good times while deciding what this exceptional beachfront site ultimately becomes. The Kapiti Boating Club, village markets, cafes, shops and Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club are all handy too.

Shellhaven simply isn't being enjoyed like it once was, and our owner knows it's time for plans to be set in motion. Come auction day, a sold sign.

The bach has a story. The beachfront has a future. What happens next is now up to you.

For sale by way of Auction: Friday, 9 October @ 11:00am (Ray White Wellington City, Level 1/77 Thorndon Quay, Pipitea, Wellington).
