A sanctuary nestled along the serene banks of an estuary, this property is set back from the road and surrounded by established hedgerows and conservation-fronted waters. It offers the rare blend of peaceful seclusion with income-generating opportunity, all just minutes from Paihia in the Bay of Islands. Whether you're dreaming of a stunning family estate, an accommodation business, or the ultimate home plus income retreat, this offering makes it all possible. Main Residence The heart of the estate is a warm and spacious six-bedroom, two-level home, thoughtfully designed for large family living or seamless lodge accommodation. The open-plan layout flows effortlessly into expansive outdoor living - perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the natural beauty. A separate garage with a loft above provides a versatile bonus space for guests, creative ventures, or work-from-home freedom. Owner's Cottage Tucked away for added privacy, the charming one-level, two-bedroom cottage with an enclosed conservatory is suitable for extended family or a property manager. Lifestyle & Activities The lush flat grounds are ideal for cricket, pétanque, or soccer. From the private jetty, you can launch your fishing boat and head out to the central harbour and outer Bay of Islands, or cast a line into the estuary. There's fun to be had taking the kayaks or jet skis to the

nearby cascading beauty of Haruru Falls. Your coastal playground awaits. Expansive Outbuildings The substantial sheds are a hobbyist's dream - housing everything from classic cars to boats, buggies, and other machinery. One

features a well-loved "hangout" zone for games and gatherings, adding to the lodge's charm. Income Potential Currently operating as guest accommodation, the main home provides an established income stream. Additional revenue is generated from leased shed space, appealing to both classic car enthusiasts and storage seekers.

Location

Highlights Despite its tucked-away feel, the lodge is just a five-minute drive to Waitangi Treaty Grounds or Paihia's shops, cafes, and beach - and only 15-20 minutes to Opua Marina, Kerikeri Township, and the Bay of Islands airport. Nature, culture, and convenience all come together here. Call Esmae or Leonie for a private appointment to view. The property is to be sold plus GST if any.
