40 Tuakau Bridge-Port Waikato Road, Port Waikato, Franklin, Auckland

Very hard to replace or replicate this vista 90km from Auckland at this price point. It's obvious to see why Big Bay is such a tightly held location. You've got circa 200 degrees plus of water views over Maraetai Bay, the river mouth and out to the heads & the Tasman sea.

Sitting on an elevated 809m2 section is this understated 1960's bach that went through a major renovation in 2010. Featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms that gravitate towards the spacious open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. All taking full advantage of the Northwest facing spectacular ever-changing views. Seamless flow to multiple outdoor areas and a very chilled sunroom make this one of the most private, serene and relaxing places going.

Big bonus of a separate studio (with bathroom nook) above the garage & workshop at the front of the property. Also a three-bay carport ensures plenty of parking for all the beach vehicles & gear.

Words & photos don't do it justice - you must have a good wander around this special place to really appreciate it. It can pretty much cover all bases. Great home or bach? A private sanctuary or workplace? Or an entertainer’s paradise? Very liveable as-is but plenty of scope to add & enhance value.

Port Waikato & Sunset beach is a very cool community only 90km from Ponsonby. Get in touch with your local, resident agent for the tour ASAP. I've lived in this magical place for 22 years and counting. This area is a privilege to live in.

Please note the property is completely un-furnished now (unlike the photos).
