Accessible by water only, this special property is so close to the city, yet a world away.
Just a 40 minute drive from Auckland to Mahurangi West, then launch your boat at Opahi Bay for a five minute boat ride to your half acre of waterfront slice of heaven. This unique and beautifully presented property will provide a haven for your family and friends in the years to come. The absolute beachfront location with riparian rights is on a north facing headland and offers fabulous views over the Mahurangi Harbour. The harbour is an excellent location for boating activities and fishing.
The 40m jetty with floating pontoon is an outstanding feature of the property and is one of its kind in the Mahurangi Harbour. It provides an easy tie up for several boats, you can fish or swim off it, or sunbathe on it.
Enjoying all day sea and bush views, the gorgeous kauri and rimu cottage is in a magical location that would be hard-pushed to match. Built in 1930, it has been updated with aluminium bi-fold windows and french doors. A rimu-lined dining room, a modern galley kitchen, a separate and cosy living room, featuring an open fire and rimu-lined walls, allow for comfortable indoor living and a generous bedroom has French doors that lead to a sheltered deck. Extensive decking links the house to an outdoor pavilion that provides exceptional outdoor entertaining the year round.
Perfect for guests and family, a bunkroom caters for six people. Nearby, two boatsheds have been converted to stunning studios to accommodate more family and friends. These open onto the water and provide gorgeous views. There is also a boat ramp for high tide and a decked wharf area.
This exclusive retreat, affectionately called Brown Owl provides a safe, beautiful environment for all. Seize the dream! Rarely does this kind of exceptional property become available in this dream location on the magical Mahurangi harbour.
