The home

Two levels, made for living well.

Wide mown lawn edged by established trees, with a white house among them

Park-like grounds

Immaculately maintained over 31 years of family custodianship, the property unfolds through park-like grounds to an upper renovated single level home. An enchanting cottage greets you on its wide waterfront lawn, along with four boatsheds and a deep-water mooring. An exclusive, meandering driveway connects it all.

On the veranda

Time softens its relentless march in this quiet bay, glassy waters, swimming, fishing, boating, summer gatherings and winter retreats. The islands of Ponui and Rotoroa seemingly hover in the backdrop, suspended between sea and sky.

The house at dusk

Build a coastal residence, retain the estate as an intergenerational sanctuary, or investigate its subdivision potential.

Boatshed by the water

Few coastal properties offer this combination of waterfront intimacy, dignified established grounds, substantial landholding and future flexibility.
