Waiheke Island, 新西兰

描述

This is one of the last remaining jewels of Waiheke Island. Featuring around 182 hectares of rolling landscape from Awaawaroa Bay to the distant ridgeline, this is one of the few unspoilt landholdings in this timeless pocket of the island. With two bays and literally hundreds of acres of scenic farmland, this substantial riparian landholding deserves to be preserved or sensitively developed as a legacy for generations to come. There are two stunning waterfalls on the property and days' worth of walking tracks among beautiful pockets of native bushland and rolling pastures. The 360-degree views from the ridge encompass large expanses of the Hauraki Gulf and the Auckland skyline. Originally built in the 1850s from Kauri milled on the property the farmhouse has been progressively extended and upgraded over the years to what is now a substantial family home, set in a beautiful sub-tropical garden only metres from the waterfront. The homestead just oozes charm and nostalgia with covered decks, native timber doors, floors and panelled timber ceilings. The formal library, large lounge and sunny morning room complete the picture. The fisherman's cottage is set along the waterfront from the homestead and is currently let as a couples' retreat and is very popular with Aucklanders looking for some local sanctuary from their busy city lifestyles. • Absolute waterfront with character family homestead • Separate beachfront cottage, now a popular holiday rental • Two waterfalls, native bushland, walking tracks, sea views • Outstanding location on peaceful Waiheke coastline • Easy access to Auckland but feels like a world away
