739 Orapiu Road, Orapiu

Own a commanding portion of Orapiu Bay. Keep it intact for generations, or explore the potential to create more than one coastal legacy. Encompassing approximately 5.27 ha of freehold land, home and cottage, and 138 metres of riparian waterfront, this holding offers something increasingly difficult to find on Waiheke, genuine lawn-to-foreshore access, privacy, scale and the possibility of subdivision, subject to necessary approvals. Immaculately maintained over 31 years of family custodianship, the property unfolds through park-like grounds to an upper renovated single level home. An enchanting cottage greets you on its wide waterfront lawn, along with four boatsheds and a deep-water mooring. An exclusive, meandering driveway connects it all. Time softens its relentless march in this quiet bay - glassy waters, swimming, fishing, boating, summer gatherings and winter retreats. The islands of Ponui and Rotoroa seemingly hover in the backdrop, suspended between sea and sky. Build a coastal residence, retain the estate as an intergenerational sanctuary, or investigate its subdivision potential. Few coastal properties offer this combination of waterfront intimacy, dignified established grounds, substantial landholding and future flexibility. After three decades of one tenure, a new era beckons. Boundary lines indicative only. Contact Francine Sweet and Chris Jones New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty for more information....
