165 North Cove, Kawau Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands, Auckland

165 North Cove, Kawau Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands, Auckland Affordable Rustic Island Sanctuary.

Ever dreamed of owning a holiday getaway but thought you would have to rob a bank and make it a hideaway as well as a getaway? Well, keep dreaming but you can stop the nightmare, because this affordable island retreat is ripe for the picking. And when I say, "ripe for the picking", this property is so full of juiciness all you'll need to do is complete the contract and pack your bags to be enjoying the rustic charm of this tranquil escape.

Yes, you did read that right! On offer here is everything you could need for an island escape that you'll never want to escape from. Load up the 18ft Pelin at Sandspit Marina (yes there is a boat on the chattels list) and then skim across Kawau Bay to North Cove and to the top of the inlet. Being tidal, you would have checked the tide times to offload supplies at the jetty, before tying up at your boat barge.

Here you are greeted by the quintessential rustic 1 bedroom (but room to spread out) kiwi bach. North facing and positioned close to but high above the water's edge on its 1.3ha (more or less) parcel of land.

Sitting on the deck in the late afternoon sun, favourite tipple in hand, taking in the magical views and sunset going down over the end of the estuary, life on the mainland will feel a world away. And with the only sound being the plethora of birdsong that also call the surrounding native bush and tracks home, your heart and mind will always wish you could stay just that little bit longer.

Purchase fully furnished and equipped, so that all your need is your supplies and clothes. Or ask for removal of all items but ask for the 5-tonne digger to stay so you can continue to develop the property further from what our current vendors have already created.

So, why book-a-bach when you can so easily own your own? But don't delay, make it happen today, before someone else takes your seat on that deck and wishes they never had to go back to work!!
