Let your cares and worries disappear as you set foot on this tranquil James Road property. The peace and tranquility of this real waterfront retreat will quickly weave its magic. Coastal recreation is just down the hill - launch the dinghy and fish or explore the harbour in your kayak; walk in outstanding mature and regenerating native bush; or simply unwind absorbing stunning million dollar views without the million dollar price tag. Nestled in an elevated natural amphitheatre that could be on the edge of a 'Lord of the Rings' set, the contemporary home maximises the peaceful water views, worlds apart from the bustle of Auckland metropolis and suburbia, yet only 90 minutes drive away. Entertaining is effortless with an open plan layout and extra large glass front and sides that open out to the landscape and water. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom plus office home with covered terrace has marine grade Ply exterior cladding. Clean lines feature and polished concrete aggregate floors with solar under floor heating reflect a feeling of depth. The kitchen is an entertainer's dream. Soak in the spa and admire the sky and stars! And for visitors wishing to camp right beside the water's edge, a board and batten cabin on skids awaits just above high tide and below the main dwelling. A truly modern take on the 'kiwi getaway'!
Lining the drive are black post and rail fencing, bordering well fenced, neatly grazed paddocks, and on the steeper slopes are thousands of native plantings. The 5ha property is further complemented by a generous double garage, 3-bay implement shed and secure workshop, sheep and cattle handling yards with loading ramp, pond, home orchard and reticulated, gravity fed stock water supply. For commuting or a city fix, Whangarei City is less than 50 minutes' drive and Auckland 90 minutes. For a good coffee and paper, Maungaturoto, an iconic Kiwi town, is only 7 minutes' away.
