Boatshed 18, Ngapipi Road, Orakei

Here is your rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Auckland's maritime history. Boatshed 18 is part of the iconic collection that embraces beautiful Hobson Bay. It has a bonus large mezzanine floor featuring a lounge and two breakout rooms perfect for the kids to study or chill out. This is the ultimate waterfront position - fully immersed in the landscape and celebrating a true connection with the ocean. Large sarked ceilings, lined walls perfect for large artworks and open plan lounge with galley style kitchen cabinetry. Bathroom with shower and a second toilet are special features. Twin full height bifold doors enclose the space and enhances the magnificent views, extending out over the bay to Mount Hobson and taking in the full city skyline. It is a truly inspirational place to paint or write, a peaceful retreat to relax and reset, or a vibrant place to entertain guests. History buffs will appreciate the covenants in place to protect the enduring character of each structure. Owners purchase a maritime licence to occupy and the structure is yours. Improve with a new deck, gangway, and pontoon like your neighbour. Imagine tying your boat up after a day on the sea and enjoying sunset drinks overlooking the city, launching your paddleboard or jet ski for a cruise around the harbour, or hosting your next special get together over the water. Originally crafted in the 1930s, the heritage-protected boatsheds have become a much-loved and highly coveted local landmark over time. They're incredibly tightly-held, most often passed down through families, and are very rarely presented to market. Six have changed hands in the last five years so this could well be the last on offer. You'll be joining the country's maritime elite by acquiring one of these famed buildings, with huge interest expected both locally and internationally. *Please note there is no bedroom....
