All the classic 1970's Kiwi beach bach feels complete with 21st century comforts, set only one house back from the beachfront in this secret little bay less than an hour's drive from Auckland's CBD. Views sweep across the calm water to Te Haupa Island. And in October, baby orcas come to play. As the Bay neighbours Mahurangi Regional Park West, the sound of birdlife is magical. And with the boat ramp about 25 metres away, this is a fisherman's paradise. Only a handful of families are lucky enough to own a property in this tightly held haven in Mahurangi. Now you have the chance to own this unique slice of pure NZ gold; the Kiwi dream.
Current owners have held this home for 16 years, originally as their beach bach but it was extensively upgraded when they moved here permanently 7 years ago. Interiors were sensitively redesigned by Lindley Naismith of Scarlet Architects to embrace the cool 1970's aesthetic. Sunlight pours through tall amber glass windows into the double height atrium entry stairwell with elegant pendant lighting. A beautifully integrated oak kitchen is fitted with soft close Blum hardware. The large slider opens out from the spacious open-plan living areas onto wraparound decks, bathed in northern sun. Both bedrooms upstairs flow out to the deck and share an elegant bathroom. Another exceptionally large bedroom on the lower level is kept cosy by it's own log fire, with a stylishy appointed separate bathroom, ideal for guests. There is a full laundry downstairs with ample storage and internal access, carpeted, double garaging. An additional garage plus a carport tall enough for your boat ensures there is plenty of room to store all your beach toys.
A mini-orchard provides a bounty of oranges, apples, peaches, figs, lemons, apples, avocados and blueberries. You will love being part of this super-friendly community where locals gather in the hall for regular get-togethers. A total escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet so close. You could easily work from home and live here permanently or make this your uber-cool holiday home at the beach without the long drive.
