Property listing ID: 922505
Set on a quiet bush-clad section with panoramic views towards Opito Bay, this oasis of calm offers secluded living in one of the Bay of Islands’ most sought-after locations. Tucked into the native bush, the home is accessed via steps alongside a large double carport, with an adjacent cable car for effortlessly transporting goods and household items. Step inside and you’re greeted by a perfect blend of chic design and relaxed coastal charm. The open-plan living area is anchored by a log burner and a designer kitchen complete with copper splashback, drinks fridge, family breakfast bar, and magnificent water views. To the left, the master bedroom enjoys direct deck access, a walk-in robe, and a sleek modern ensuite. Back through the first lounge, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams lead to a formal dining space and second lounge – an ideal retreat for teenagers, guests, or quiet reading. The main bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiles, a deep soaking bath, and a separate shower. There’s also a generous laundry and office space with outdoor access. Two bright double bedrooms enjoy bush and sea views. Outside, the 1,305m² section is a tranquil green escape, bordered by DOC Reserve, providing a protected haven for tui, kereru, and even resident kiwi. Wrap-around decking lets you soak in both bush and bay vistas, while excellent fishing, diving, and boating are just steps away – the boat ramp is right in front of you, making it perfect for a Sealegs-style boat. Only 20 minutes to Kerikeri and just over 3 hours from Auckland, this is the ultimate lock-up-and-leave coastal escape or full-time lifestyle home.
