Property listing ID: 498971
Situated on a large island with a causeway from the main road, this unique Clevedon country cottage has become available after 16 wonderful years with the current owner. Known by local historians as "the Isle of Capri", this 3 bedroom cottage has stood the test of time. Built in 1940, the cottage is built in the centre of a moat with a causeway leading to the front door. You will need your red bands on the odd occasion in the back yard - but not your waders. The property is fully fenced and gated - the backyard specifically for dogs. Under the huge stand of macrocapa trees which defines the property from the main road is a large grassed area - approximately 8m x 20m. This is a great space to fence for small animals or level for outbuildings etc., and of course it is a riparian property. The cottage has 2 double and 1 single bedrooms, separate kitchen, lounge with a cast iron fire and French doors that open out onto a large deck which overlooks the beautiful Hunua Ranges. This is a simple little house, needs a new roof but is water tight; septic, tank water, alarm, and double car port. 2 minutes in the car to Clevedon School, the Papatoetoe Pony Club, Auckland Polo Club, the Show grounds, cafes, bars and the Farmers Market.
