A quintessential kiwi bach, located in sought-after Oraka, Mahia Peninsula, and just a minute's wander to a beautiful sandy beach...the perfect spot for good ol' fashioned beach holidays. This must-see property is a dearly-loved bach and full of surprises!
Built in the 1940's and the first house to be built in Oraka, this charming beach cottage retains much of its original character, having been well-maintained and tastefully refurbished in recent years. Cosy and warm by the open fire in winter or cool and comfortable in summer, this is a property for all seasons!
The original boatshed (permitted as a boatshed) has been used by the current owners as a classic sleepout with rustic touches in keeping with the age of the property, providing additional sleeping facilities and an extra living/dining area for at least four people.
Boasting this dual amenity of the bach cottage and the 'boatshed', the layout of the buildings is ideal for three generations of one family, or for two families to share: spaces for young and old to sleep in, eat separately, play a game, read a book or enjoy a long cold drink while the sun goes down.
Oraka is a small settlement of around twenty tightly-held homes and holiday homes on the Mahia Peninsula, one of New Zealand's favourite holiday spots. Just wander along the road to Maungawhio Lagoon and Oraka Beach which are very popular for safe swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, beach-walking and shellfish gathering.
Reap the fruits of the fertile soils here, with avocadoes, figs, olives, feijoas, grapes, citrus orchard and an impressive vegetable garden all well-established. For a shady retreat from the sun enjoy the two magnificent Pohutukawas, plus Nikau palms and the simple-to-maintain surroundings. The plentiful hydrangeas set off the private seaside ambiance of this attractive property.
The next lucky people to own this hidden treasure will be just the third owners in the property's history...a special and unique opportunity!
