Description

Nestled in the sheltered waters of Crowles Bay in the Bay of Islands, this stunning waterfront residence is set on a very private 5.8736 hectares of premium land and is approximately 12 kilometres from central Kerikeri and only a few minutes’ drive to the Doves Bay Marina. Access to the inlet for kayaks and paddle boards is from the reserve below the property. Designed by renowned NZ architect Richard Priest, the 621 square metre dwelling showcases a wonderful combination of contemporary design and functionality. The master bedroom is accessed via a landing from the front entrance or the staircase from the main lower-level living area. The master suite features a large bathroom with slipper bath, separate shower, dressing room and a stunning private deck overlooking the bay. The three guest bedrooms, all of which have ensuite bathrooms, are on the opposite wing providing both privacy and separation. The downstairs living area consists of a European designer kitchen, dining, and lounge areas which open to an in-ground saltwater pool with beautiful copper water feature and stunning tropical gardens. Internal access to the triple-car garage, workshop, gymnasium and infra-red sauna make for a complete lifestyle. The gardens are a key feature of this property with a large vegetable patch, asparagus bed, citrus and feijoa orchard, raspberry plantation and garden shed located close by. Sustainable living is a reality here from the established gardens. Press your own olive oil from the grove on the top of the hill, and re stock the wine cellar with your own personal Syrah label from the small vineyard. This is a genuine opportunity to secure one of the few trophy waterfront properties currently available in the Te Puna Inlet.
