Heavenly South Cove Island Escape

If you have a passion for the ocean, a love of inspiring views and all-day sun, and appreciate the magic of sea air, this place is for you. Blissfully private and seemingly a million miles from the hustle of city life, it is a haven for reflection and re-energising.

In a blessed setting, this very special 2,493 m2 property rests on the pristine coastline of South Cove, Kawau Island. Framed by mature puriri, pohutukawa and ponga, it enjoys sweeping sea views where the passing parade of boats and the constant activity of seabirds create an ever-changing ocean panorama. You'll be mesmerised by colour-soaked sunsets and dreamy vistas across Kawau Bay, taking in Motuketekete Island, with Beehive Island as your central focal point.

The subtropical environment creates a truly magical sanctuary. A small vegetable garden flourishes, weka roam through the mature orchard, and birdsong from tui awakens you each morning. The soft rustle of forest life whispers in the background. At the base of the hill, a quiet beach awaits. Swim, launch the kayak, fish off the rocks, or simply sit and breathe it all in.

Designed with careful consideration for its coastal environment, this modern, easy-care residence reflects elegant simplicity and is perfectly suited to extended stays or lock-and-leave living. The main dwelling is warm and welcoming, with a galley kitchen flowing into a light-filled lounge where sliding doors open seamlessly to a sunny wraparound deck - ideal for morning coffee or long summer evenings. A cosy fire keeps things snug in winter.

Downstairs features open-plan living with large picture windows that draw the outdoors in, along with the main bedroom, bathroom and a spacious mudroom with laundry. A library ladder leads to a charming loft bedroom above, a magical space children will adore. Soaring cathedral ceilings add drama and character to this lovely holiday home. A handy toolshed is attached for all the island toys and practical gear.

A separate studio/sleepout sits below the main house, complete with a sun-splashed deck overlooking those magnificent trees - perfect for guests, an artist's retreat, or additional holiday overflow.

Connected to mains power, telecommunications and good internet coverage, with two generous 30,000L water tanks and a septic system in place, the property delivers modern comfort without compromising the blissful feeling of being unplugged.

South Cove is one of Kawau's most prized locations, offering an idyllic coastal setting with easy access via an all-tide public wharf, a sealed road up the hill, and vehicle access right to your front door. All-tide boat launching is effortless. Just a 40-minute drive from Auckland to Sandspit, followed by a short ferry, water taxi or 15-minute private boat ride…close enough for spontaneous weekends, yet far enough to feel a world away.

3 Hall Head Road is the ultimate Kiwi holiday escape.

Swim. Fish. Boat. Unwind… and do it all over again.

A truly special island property. Act before it's too late! Call Debbie Aldred on 021 406 967 for a private viewing.
