Far North

Nestled in Lemon's Bay Opua, this interesting Mariner's Retreat with a modern twist was designed by architect David Power and built in 2000, replicating an Auckland villa. The home faces north-noreast across the Veronica Channel to Okiato Point and is sheltered from the cooler south westerly winds. This 3 bedroom kauri villa includes an extension, a "modern take" on a two storey boat house. The house has a layout suited to two couples, each with their own private wing and full bathrooms. All materials and systems were new when the house was built, apart from the re-use of selected materials rescued from the original villa on the site, including the polished floors. The interior of the villa incorporates a large bedroom, bathroom, laundry, living room with open fireplace, and an open/plan kitchen /dining family room that opens out on to a verandah and deck. This links through to the boat house which has a bunk room (plenty of sleeping areas for those extras staying overnight), and a separate toilet. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs. This is a` boatie's paradise where you can moor your vessel on the deepwater mooring, take the dinghy ashore, amble up the beach across the grass to your deck where you can enjoy relaxation at the end of the day. It is a short coastal walk to the full service Opua Marina and boatyard. As well as the Mooring, the property comes with a small fishing/utility powerboat and a fast rowing skiff for exercise. The current owners have had great pleasure from this property since it was built and now offer it to the market - this is truly an outstanding opportunity to purchase and enjoy the property as the new owners.
