24 Gates Way, Whangaroa/Kaeo Surrounds, Far North

Catch snapper off the deck

When waterfront colludes with serenity and a biting fish, you hook it quick! How often does a property reach the market where you can land a snapper from the deck? This is a legacy opportunity in Totara North, not to be missed.

Nestled away from the busier holiday hotspots, yet just 47kms from Kerikeri, this secluded cottage on 4ha has just four other residents nearby. Positioned down a private road in a gated community, the only noise you will hear is the gentle lapping of water and sweet birdsong.

For the avid fisherfolk, the Whangaroa Harbour requires no introduction. Reputed to be the best fishing and diving grounds in the north - there really is no better access than here! Launch your boat at high tide, or from the nearest boat ramp just 800m away.

Simple, relaxed days on the water is one thing, but the potential of this property is very exciting. There is an incredible house site above the cottage where the harbour views are exhilarating. It is easy to imagine a lodge or forever home on the elevated site, while keeping the cottage as the perfect fisherman bolthole.

The open-plan bach feels large, bright and modern, it has all the trappings for a comfortable holiday. Dappled light through ancient Pohutukawa makes sitting on the deck a joy. The kitchen has full size appliances and plenty of storage. Every window showcases something special, from views across the water to Ohakiri or St Pauls Rock, to mature forestry and beyond.

You could have Christmas lunch from this ready-to-go paradise - the power is on and food is just a fishing rod away. There is so much to do, or do nothing at all! Hike the Dukes Nose and enjoy the sparkling green waters of the Whangaroa Harbour, kayak with the kids, take daily fishing expeditions and explore the beaches nearby.
