Auction brought forward - be quick!

Property sold at auction brought forward.
Tightly-held for over 70 years by a well-known yachtie and his inventive family, make this sale bittersweet. This is an exciting property rich in history and future possibilities, sitting on a premium parcel of land so close to Kerikeri Township. Large and ripe for development, or an indulgent country/town lifestyle - the choice is yours, but act quick! Investment opportunities like this don't roll around often.

Developed in the 50s by a local family, eight acres were gradually subdivided down over the years. Today, a generous 8,989sqm reaches the market for an astute buyer, along with an enormous boatshed and humble 3-4 bedroom home. What a lifestyle!

Along with the potential to subdivide, the views are outstanding. Overlooking the historic Stone Store and Kemp House, the protected Kororipo Pa site and the beautiful Kerikeri basin.

The orchard is at least 60 years old, planted by the industrious wife-owner with an incredible selection of fruit trees, dishing out an abundant fruit basket to feed family and friends.

Originally, the expansive boatshed at the rear of the property was the birth right of several new boats, and the restoration of others. Reaching sizes of 15.5 metres, the building of these boats brought together many avid sailors from around the world and demonstrates the scale of the shed. Work-from-home or lease -either way, there's no denying the options a big kiwi shed provides!

On the home front is a comfortable 140sqm home. Aside from new carpet, the original retro vibe might have you reaching for the DIY tools. Three-bedrooms, plus a fourth bedroom (or office), is supported by an open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen. Two bathrooms comprise of a shower & toilet in one, and a bath in the other. A further merit is the separate 'sewing room' which could be a fun teen retreat.

Sought-after but seldom found at this size, makes this central Keri property a true treasure!
