This is your invitation to come and view a unique piece of coastal real estate which has been affectionately held in the same family for nearly half a century.  And you can clearly see why!

 

This beach and bush property encapsulates everyone’s idea of the classic Kiwi bach.  The beach-house was built in 1947 by a known master builder who incorporated timeless and iconic design lines with a modern layout.  It was built with native timbers throughout using traditional construction methods of that era, and has been meticulously maintained and loved by its present owners.  Over the years it has been modernized with upgrades such as indoor/outdoor living and under-floor heating, yet at the same time its originality has been honored and respected.

 

Its caring owners have created their own ‘coastal parkland’, complimenting the incredible sea and bush views.  When you arrive at the top of the drive, your first impression is of open, flat space and privacy.  There is plenty of room for children and pets to run around and ample parking.  The land is nearly 5000m2 on two titles.

 

The second dwelling is a great place for teenagers, extended family and visitors.  It contains surfboards, bunk beds, the laundry and a workshop, as well as a garage for the tractor and firewood.  The ‘Hillbilly Shed’ – as it is affectionately known – is a bonus for those looking for alternative space for anything from an arts, music or a yoga studio.

 

Peace, rejuvenation and relaxation are easily rediscovered here, only a 40 – 50 minute drive from central Auckland.  Venture out to the beach or pack a lunch and follow the fresh water stream at the back of the property up to secluded pristine waterfalls.  All of this, right at your doorstep – a multitude of outdoor activities.

 

You will never tire of the breathtaking sunset, the open fire or of lying in bed listening to the morepork calling from the distance and the sound of waves crashing on the beach.

 

This rare offering is your opportunity to acquire an incredible property – dreams are made of this.
