8344D State Highway 35, Whanarua Bay, Opotiki, Bay of Plenty

Whanarua Bay is often called the "prettiest bay on the east coast", and this unique property offers two homes on one title: The 2nd self-contained dwelling is currently set up as a lucrative high-end BnB, but it could also be used as a business premises, to house extended family, or as a double holiday home option (go in with a friend). Accommodation facilities are highly sought-after in the area.

The main house is architecturally designed and offers a unique studio aesthetic. It has a bathroom and separate laundry, and offers spectacular views of the gardens, dramatic flood-lit Pohutukawas, and out to the sea beyond. The second dwelling is a sizable modern studio surrounded by lush bush and completely private from the other dwelling - the expansive and elevated decking is a great place to bird watch as you feel as though you are relaxing up near the treetops. This dwelling is currently operated as a very successful accommodation unit called Sheldrake BnB. Stuff reporter Brook Sabin recently quoted it as the "best place to stay on SH35".

There is extensive parking at the property - enough for multiple boats, cars or campervans - as well as a single garage, carport, container and extra shedding space under the studio.

A totally unique option worth your serious consideration - viewing is advised to experience the peace and serenity of this magical spot.
