From the listing agent
In the words of Dianne Quinn, Mid North - Kaikohe
Discover something truly special in the Bay of Islands – a substantial 2,144sqm (just over half an acre) flat, easy-build section privately positioned within an exclusive enclave of only 8 properties.
Measuring approximately 67.6 metres in length by 31.71 metres wide, this generous site offers the space and freedom to create a home that is uniquely yours, with plenty of room to include an extra-large shed for the boat, motorhome or all the toys.
What makes this property particularly special is the lifestyle that comes with it. Residents share access to a boat ramp and jetty on the Waitangi River, with the open waters of the Bay of Islands only minutes away. Launch your boat or jet ski, enjoy a spot of fishing, kayak along the river or simply take advantage of the clean water and peaceful surroundings.
This is a quality-focused community, with covenants designed to protect the standard of the homes and preserve the appeal of this very desirable enclave – ultimately helping protect your investment.
The groundwork is already in place, with Geotech, Engineering and LIM reports available, together with architecturally designed plans for the home the vendors had intended to build as their retirement haven. Their plans have had to change due to unforeseen major health circumstances, creating an opportunity for another family to realise the vision of this very special slice of paradise.
A large pile of GAP 60 aggregate is included with the sale of the section ready to compact and fill the subfloor, creating a solid and stable base.
A private concrete drive at the entrance to this unique Estate, leads directly to the section, while power, water and sewage connections are situated at the boundary.
Location is another major attraction, with Paihia Village, beautiful beaches, the supermarket and Waitangi Golf Course approximately five minutes away, while the Opua Marina is around 10 minutes by car. A local superette and hot food outlet are only a couple of minutes away, with stunning bush walks close by.
The property is within the Kerikeri High School Zone, with a school bus nearby, and Kerikeri is approximately 15 minutes away.
Large, level, private and perfectly positioned for a boating lifestyle – this is a rare chance to secure your own piece of the Bay of Islands and build something truly special.
