Harbour Retreat with Views

What a fantastic place to get away from it all and enjoy the extensive harbour views.

Located on an elevated 2585sqm (approx) section on the southern side of the Kawhia Harbour, this cute little one bedroom home, along with a free-standing cabin (second bedroom) is set amongst native bush. There's ample space to park cars, caravans and mobile homes for those friends who also want to enjoy your new piece of paradise.

The large covered deck extends from the living area and bedroom, and is positioned for total relaxation while cooking the BBQ and enjoying the outlook.

Double glazing, heat pump, gas hot water and an easy care exterior cladding of ColorSteel and cedar add to the relaxed living theme. There are two water tanks to make the most of any rainfall.

This property comes fully furnished, including a kayak, so you can enjoy a paddle and further explore the harbour.

You just need to bring your food and you're ready to wind down and relax. But, be prepared, once here you may not want to leave - it may become your permanent residence.

The Oparau Store is about a 15-20 minute drive if you need to top up on supplies. Kinohaku School is just a bit further along Harbour Road and Te Waitere a bit beyond that.

Contact Julie to arrange your own private inspection at a time to suit.
