Property listing ID: 751001
This could be your country coastal home or your classic kiwiana bach - it can be either at this price! Be one of the first to relocate to Awhitu as more and more Aucklanders are moving out of the city centre, this classic kiwiana peninsula won't stay unrevealed for long. Or if this will just be your holiday home you will enjoy avoiding holiday traffic to this secret peninsula that still has that old good ole kiwi vibe. Awhitu is Maori for "a longing to return" and some say it refers to a legend that involved a waka landing at Wattle Bay, a beautiful princess and the warrior chief who loved her. You can explore the tranquil bays and rolling pastures of Awhitu Regional Park on one of the short walks and mountain bike trails, or relax with a swim and a picnic at one of the safe, white-sand beaches. On the western side, the expansive and more rugged black-sand beach of Karioitahi is an awesome spot for activities on and off the water, including hang gliding, paragliding, blo-karting, surfing, 4 wheel driving and more. If you want more of an R and R feeling - enjoy sipping on wine at a boutique cliff-top vineyard with spectacular harbour views, or browse the bustling Awhitu Country Markets, held on the last Sunday of every month. Pick up fresh organic produce, oils and preserves, plus arts and health and beauty products. The historical Manukau Heads Lighthouse is one of only a few in New Zealand that are open to the public and the views are amazing. This really is a lifestyle. If you want to get out of the noise of the suburbs, or maybe you have got a new job in the Franklin area - Awhitu is the one of Auckland's best kept coastal areas still at an affordable price.
