9 Akeake Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

Set on a quiet bush-clad section with panoramic views towards Opito Bay, this oasis of calm provides secluded living in a prime Bay of Islands location.

Set back into native bush, access is via steps alongside the double carport, with an adjacent cable car for transporting goods and household items. A perfect combination of chic and charm presents itself as you enter the home itself, where the interior is a celebration of style and practicality. Contemporary feature walls showcase the open plan living area, anchored by a log burner and designer kitchen with copper splashback, drinks fridge, family breakfast bar, and magnificent water views.

To the left is the beautiful master bedroom with direct deck access, walk-in robe, and a sleek ensuite, presented with a modern aesthetic. Heading back through the first lounge, vaulted ceilings, and exposed wooden beams link the hallway with a formal dining space and a second lounge that offers an alternative zone for teenagers, guests or quiet reading. Alongside is the main bathroom, (with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a luxuriously deep bath and separate shower) and an adjacent large laundry and office space, with direct access outside to the rear. Beyond the second lounge are two bright double bedrooms, with bush and sea views.

Heading outside, the restful green space of this 1305m² section complements the charcoal cladding and wrap-around decking of the house, and the adjoining DOC Reserve protects the wonderful natural habitat for both you, the tui, nestling kereru and the several kiwi in residence.

With excellent fishing and diving at your doorstep, and perfectly set up for a Sealegs-style boat with the boat ramp directly in front of you, this ideal lock up and leave (just over 3 hours from Auckland), weekend bolt hole, or perfect permanent lifestyle living is just 20 minutes to Kerikeri.
