Imagine Christmas Eve 2016 here. This extraordinary setting 25 minutes from Oneroa is offering a uniquely New Zealand combination of lifestyle and retreat in one of Waiheke's most original and unspoilt areas. A cottage and unique visitor facility on 3 acres (approximately) of pristine rainforest bush, complete with mature kauri trees and a stream. The tidy cottage with a macrocarpa floor, wood burner, and substantial deck, acts as the main dwelling. Equipped with septic capacity for a three bedroom home, it also has off-street parking for 4-5 cars. Completely invisible from both cottage and road, yet well-connected via a wide sturdy path, is an astonishing Treehouse'. Perched majestically in the canopy adjacent to an ancient kauri, it is completely self-contained, (with a claw-foot bath for the luxury-lovers among us). Environmentally engineered, (with no tanalized timber) the treehouse has macrocarpa walls, a kwila floor, lawson cypress roof and cedar joinery. Its 360 degree viewing deck, where you can have coffee in the sunshine among the birds, is utterly private. Those who need peace to work from home, are looking for a home and income or group retreat venue, will love this unique offering. North-west facing, the property receives copious unimpeded sun, and long wide views across the land and valley. Also included: - 25,000 litres of stored tank water - 2,000 litres of drinking water - Gas cooktops and heating - Standard chattels and white-ware Call me for all further details.
