94 Hunterville Road, Orapiu, Waiheke Island, Auckland

This property will delight you. Quiet privacy, set above Pearl Bay with exclusive vehicular access for residents only. Sea views down to the bay with ample parking and just 200m from the beach.

The dwelling has recently undergone a substantial upgrade, which included a new roof and decking. The kitchen and bathroom have been designed with simple functionality and quality as the overriding brief. Retaining its rustic charm and fitting snugly within the surrounding environment, it provides a full double for the master bedroom and a mezzanine floor for the kids or guests. In addition, there is a separate sleep-out that is set well away from the house. Originally purchased as a second island home to provide an escape from a busy world, a change of circumstance has forced the vendor to leave this much-loved retreat.

A large section provides scope for further development if required; however, the current setup is more than adequate to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Pearl Bay. It has much to offer, whether it is a permanent home, a retreat, or simply retained for family fun. Launch the boat off the trailer, drive the Sealegs or walk the 200m to what is considered to be a safe beach.

Pearl Bay is within the Te Matuku Marine Reserve, and the only Public Access is by boat or the Coastal Walk from Otakawhe Bay. It is a very special area. How do you describe a feeling? Refresh yourself with the warm ambiance reminiscent of the New Zealand coastal communities of yesteryear. Enjoy sea views and sunsets from your deck or cosy winter nights in front of the wood burner.

Family memories, the novel, mental health space, work from paradise... Here it is...
