71 Ridge Road, Scotts Landing, Rodney District, Auckland Waterfront beach bach - Scotts landing

Built in the 1960's, this original beach Bach has a 'group architects' feel and has been in one family's ownership since new. Seated back from the water's edge with slight elevation and stunning views, it occupies a freehold 5,059 sqm waterfront site with riparian rights. Located one hour north of Auckland CBD in peaceful Scotts Landing, your weekends and holidays here can be enjoyed in jandals between the water's edge and kitchen table. Cocooning family and friends in its quintessentially laid-back kiwi attitude to holidays by the sea, the Bach offers spectacular views, romantic sunsets and sunlit decks for dawn to dusk relaxation. Easy keep with a 'sweep easy' attitude to life, over the years it has been filled with cleverly curated finds and iconic period furniture; its two bedrooms complemented by a generous lounge and open floor plan connecting to the outdoors via wrap around decks. Constructed mainly of Cedar with solid Matai floorboards and lined with Macrocarpa milled from the property, the owners have always respected the original design and updates have included decks, new roofing, extra storage, and power being taken underground. In the 60's, riparian rights allowed for use of the foreshore, and as well as the Bach, a concrete sea wall was built at the foot of the property by a Sea Scout troop. Its solid construction allows picnic seating, board storage and an easy tether for dinghies or kayaks before a day out on the harbour. In years past, records show the land was previously owned by at least two ship captains who fancied its coastal attributes; the location especially coveted for excellent fishing, smooth sailing and safe swimming. This generational property will suit holidays, retreats or an inspirational new build with its extraordinary and very private waterfront position. Site planning details are available.
