A Hidden Treasure

What a secret slice of paradise! This is a waterfront charmer, tightly held by the same family for the last 20 years. Sitting pride of place on the Mangawhai estuary, the setting here is not just a waterfront bolthole - it's a showstopper! Surrounded by stunning water views and a leafy wonderland of bush, protected Pohutukawa trees and birdsong. It doesn't get much better than this, stirring up memories of Kiwi beach holidays from yesteryear.

Sitting on a private 1399sqm site is a delightful cottage, reconnecting you with simple living, yet with all the modern features. Oozing charm and character, the footprint is open plan living with polished wooden floors in the lounge, dining and kitchen area. Timber French doors off the master bedroom open out to the front deck and a second bedroom is attached to the main property, but accessed from the outside. A further spacious deck on the western side offers sheltered dining, or a perfect place to party and dance into the wee hours.

Everyone wins here! Kids will ramble over the lawn and foreshore, a kayak or paddleboard session might be your daily ritual, whilst others will sit on the front deck - watching seabirds dance over the water, soaking up peace and tranquillity! A separate sleep-out will be a fantastic option for extra guests and could double up as a games room for the younger superheros. There is plenty of lawn space to park a boat, put up the tents, play cricket or kick a footy around. All the holiday must-haves have been considered. Be sure to enquire about the neighbouring beach pad too, this fantastic property (on a separate title) is owned by the same family and is also genuinely on the market - a discerning buyer may like to investigate purchasing both.

Sitting in a dreamy world of its own, yet just over an hour from Auckland - this is a rare chance to claim a prized waterfront honey (or two!) Call to inspect today.
