256 Stockyard Bay, Kawau Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands, Auckland

After 47 years in the same family, the trustees’ instructions are clear — this remarkable Stockyard Bay waterfront will be sold. Spanning 3.026 hectares across two titles, this historic holding includes a three-bedroom home, a two-bedroom cottage, a character-filled boathouse on the beach, and a separate potential building site (on its own title) with sweeping sea views. Complete with its own wharf, private boat mooring, expansive bay views, and accommodation for at least 19 people, it’s perfectly suited for extended family holidays, multi-generational living, effortless lock-and-leave island escapes, or as holiday rentals. Generations have created memories here — fishing from the wharf, swimming in the shallows, and long summer days listening to tui among the Puriri trees. Waterfront properties of this scale and heritage rarely become available — don’t delay, this one will be sold!
