Map | Street view | Nearby | Property Description: | History abounds at this magnificent waterfront headland surrounded by panoramic water and island views on three sides . The peninsula reaches out to the clear blue waters of Parekura Bay, a landmark property that has remained in the family for four generations This is an inspirational setting that captures the sound of the sea and scent of the ocean breeze whispering "Rest and Relaxation" If that is the dream for you then look no further.
7659m2 of bush and numerous giant pohutukawa are complemented by many, many native trees such as rimu, totara and kauri planted more than 60 years ago. For generations the family has been committed to enhancing the beautiful native surrounds-creating a magnet to native birds .
The gentle and picturesque drive from the gateway prepares one for what can only be described as a priceless irreplaceable haven. The history and natural tranquility encompasses you as you stop under the massive trees. The family dwelling is aproned by covered decks providing shelter for outdoor living and entertainment in any condition.
The tiered lawns make way for an unhindered view, one needs to be careful not to become mesmerized by the inviting blue seas of the clear water of the bays as they sparkle through the hundred year old pohutukawas.Surrounded by Waipiro Bay to the north right around to Te Uenga in the south, boaties know it as the land mark headland with the stunning views and sheltered waters beneath.
Through wide opening doors we are met by soaring angled timber ceilings and native timber floors, mostly kahikatea and matai. Spacious open plan living is sure to have been filled with stories and laughter as it plays host to family and many friends sharing tales of the day out on the water - who caught the largest fish and no doubt the one that got away.
As one moves along the hallway past the bedrooms we turn to the right to find a spacious and very well appointed self-contained "parents retreat". Like a haven within a haven the senior members of the family can enjoy the peace, and privacy on their own bush-edged deck as they take in the views of the ocean blue.
We have talked about history - gnarled roots of giant pohutukawa twist and twine their way along historic maori trenches underneath bridged walkways canopied by native flora and fauna leading down to safe swimming beaches.
If you are looking for a legacy - this must be the ultimate. This is land that will last forever - why don't you be the one to carry it through to the next chapter in history.
A true representation of what is envied the world over and known as "The Bay of Islands". |
