#701 Boatshed opposite 491 Karaka Bay Road, Scorching Bay, Wellington

Harmony by the sea

An icon of Scorching Bay for sale for the first time.

Over a century ago Captain Frederick Silver was stationed at Fort Balance on the hills above the Ocean and admired the sheltered coastline of Scorching Bay, this inspiration created the legacy that remains today, Boatshed 701.

Poised for impromptu journeys, it beckons with dolphins, kahawai migrations, and a vibrant marine world. Surrounded by a lively avian community, the boatshed harmonizes with nature, offering a private refuge at the heart of Scorching Bay. Conveniently close to Scorch-O-Rama café, it strikes a balance between seclusion and accessibility.

A century-old retreat among Karo trees Crafted with tanalised timber, a resilient colorsteel roof, and a 16m marine-grade timber ramp ideal for launching the dinghy, kayaks or paddle boards it offers aquatic bliss. Inside, it exudes coziness with ample storage and a private enclave.

From fishing exploits to familial reclamation, the boatshed's history resonates. It invites potential as an art studio or seaside getaway whilst remaining steeped in maritime wonders.

Insured until 2024, guarding against the elements, this 19sqm haven invites you to script your own tales by the sea.

The shed does not have a bathroom unfortunately this is not an option on TradeMe. There are toilets and changing rooms by the carpark, right by the beach.

Auction: 11.00am, Thursday 14th December 2023, Level 14, 36 Brandon Street, Wellington Central.
