Under Contract - coastal magic

Under contract. Open home cancelled. Step away from your busy schedule and cruise down memory lane. Reflect on a time when beach pads were simple, sandy toes were okay inside, cricket unfolded on the lawn, tents sprawled across a quarter acre site, and the daily outlook was swim, fish, repeat. Well, we've brought the good times back with this gem of a property! Located right on the border of Omapere and Opononi, this gorgeous time warp will bring out the best in everyone. Who can resist those coastal views and easy access to the water's edge?

This is a bittersweet sale for the owners. They have enjoyed nearly 20 years at their kiwiana address, filling their holidays with kayaking, fishing, beach walks, sand dune sliding and croquet on the lawn. But circumstances have changed and they hope a lucky new owner will cherish it like they have, making the most of an aquatic playground in the 'backyard'. Tempting indeed!

Modest in every sense, the two bedroom cottage (plus study) is inviting and well set up for instant R & R on arrival. The deck is a perfect spot for watching sunsets and enjoying the company of family and friends. There is plenty of lawn (front & back) for tents, and the mature fruit trees dish out bananas, apples and figs to hungry kids. A wood-burner heats the home very quickly and the separate double garage will provide options for boat storage or extra accommodation.

While the 90s house and op-shop decor is a fun vibe, a buyer will easily recognise the development potential here. Due diligence is encouraged to uncover the possibilities.

The Hokianga Harbour is your ticket to endless outdoor pursuits, including fishing, jet skiing, swimming and trekking in the Waipoua Forest nearby. This is a community of good-sorts - a place where staying connected isn't the strength of your wifi - it's knowing your neighbours and enjoying a quieter pace of life.
