239B Moturata Road, Taieri Mouth, Clutha, Otago

Architecturally designed and crafted for modern living, this striking home makes the most of its spectacular setting with uninterrupted views across the Pacific Ocean to Moturata Island. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing coastal outlook is nothing short of breathtaking, and with a private pathway leading to the beach, the seaside lifestyle is always within reach. Set behind electric gates, this property offers privacy and security in a peaceful, gated setting.

The heart of the home is the open-plan living area, where soaring half-pitched ceilings flood the space with natural light. Sliding doors extend to a wraparound deck that frames the panoramic vistas – a perfect spot for entertaining or simply relaxing and watching the horizon. The contemporary kitchen, complete with a generous walk-in pantry, blends style and functionality with ease.

Four double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a master suite with ensuite. A family bathroom, separate toilet, and internal-access double garage with workshop and laundry ensure everyday convenience. Warmth and efficiency are delivered through a wood burner, heat pump, double glazing, full insulation, and a solar hot water system comprising 18 x 400w (7.2kw) solar panels + Tesla Powerwall 2 ( 15kw battery ) for energy storage.

The outdoors are equally impressive. A newly added large double garage/boatshed offers abundant space for vehicles, storage, or a boat. A separate outbuilding with loft and heat pump provides a flexible retreat – ideal as a studio, office, or guest accommodation. The 6,862sqm (+/-) grounds feature paddocks for sheep, sheds, a BBQ area, room for gardens and veggie patch, and small orchard with heirloom fruit trees plus an outdoor shower for sandy feet after every beach visit.

Here, architectural design meets natural beauty, offering a lifestyle of space, self-sufficiency, and serenity. And when you need the city, it’s only a leisurely 30-minute coastal drive back to Dunedin.
