Fancy a peaceful spot close to town, yet with access to river & ocean - and all its bounty.

Relieve the pressure - escape the urban pace, and find out what can be yours here.

This fabulous property can easily be a permanent home or a magical family ‘get-away’ . The house is single level on land is 1 ha in size, so room for family games of cricket, petanque or some other games. It is located between Waipu and Waipu Cove, and you can access the edge of the estuary via a private shared accessway. Indeed the current owners like to paddle kayaks or paddleboards on the estuary ( life jackets on of course). Either upstream following Waipu River to the township, where you can pick up fresh bread and other items. Or else if you are a competent paddler, then you might like to try out the surf beach.

Large enough to accommodate lots of visitors, yet intimate enough to enjoy on your own.

The property offers:

•3 double bedrooms, plus a room which can either be an extra lounge or else a 4th bedroom.

•Butlers pantry alongside the open plan spacious kitchen

•Open plan living area, flowing to sheltered patio on the seaward side of the house

•Sheltered loggia/ alfresco area with an outdoor fireplace plus built in BBQ

•Huge number of fruit trees already producing bountiful tasty fruit

•Well established raised-bed vegetable garden area, with netting to keep birds away

•Solar panels on the roof are complemented by big bank of solar batteries, so you can benefit from your own power. Current owners have been feeding power back to the grid, and have accumulated a large credit (with the power company)

The house was designed with simple lines to encourage both entertaining and relaxing.

Enjoy the fabulous coastal view towards Whangārei Heads, with a peek of sand dunes in foreground.

Landscaped gardens, level lawns to frame the view from the house. With the attention to detail, this property was planned and built well so you can simply move in and enjoy.

Shared recreational public pathway now in place alongside Cove Rd. So you can now walk or bike from just outside the North Cove Lane gates to Waipu Cove. Or maybe head the other direction where the pathway just has a small section left to complete being able to go all the way to Waipu village.

The river is a great playground in itself, or wander over to the northern end of Waipu Cove beach : surf, fish or stroll – you choose.

You must visit to appreciate.
