Double-set of water views!

An incredible coastal landholding, seldom found and set to thrill. Imagine owning 10.9 hectares of waterfront land, paired with exquisite views everywhere you turn. Is this the best site in the Bay of Islands? As one of the last remaining larger sites in the area, it’s certainly hard to beat!

Indulge in views over the Te Puna Inlet and Purerua Peninsula facing north, and be spellbound by the Kerikeri Inlet in the opposite direction. This exclusive address has been freshly subdivided.

The hardest decision is where to build your forever home. Will you choose the flat site at the most elevated point, and maybe a second dwelling on the saddle? Either option commands incredible water views.

Set well off the road; there is a concrete driveway to your site, with power to the boundary. Adding to the magic is a mature Pine forest with walking tracks to enjoy. Towards the bottom of the site is a picturesque spring-fed pond with ducks, and as you reach the water’s edge there is a gravel boat ramp for easy launching on the high tide.

The Te Puna Inlet is renowned for good fishing - what a bonus setting out from your backyard! You could also be in the greater Bay of Islands within 15 minutes from launching, enjoying sundowners or a morning coffee in Russell.

This beautiful blank canvas is located just 10 minutes from Kerikeri Township, and despite feeling a country mile from city chaos, there are no gravel roads, and the property is on the school bus route for added convenience.

If a sanctuary in the far north is calling, surrounded by astute neighbours and smart architecture in the pipeline – lock in a viewing today.

Build where the landscape leads

Peaceful by position and strengthened by its surroundings, this 2.2-hectare (approximately 5.4 acres) lifestyle block leads with its landscape, providing a backdrop of natural beauty for a new build to follow.

Pass through the roadside electric gates and join the small enclave of some of the finest lifestyle properties to be found in Coatesville which, as you know, is spoilt when it comes to prestige homes. The meandering drive sets the theme here. Large areas of open mown space, fringed by mature native trees help to create a rural seclusion, contradicting the fact that you are a short walk to the Coatesville Primary, community hall and pool and all important Cafes giving this bucolic setting a level of convenience rarely found with acreage.

Nestled into the folds of the Coatesville Scenic Reserve is quite possibly the best-kept secret in this community. The north-facing setting is buffered by native bush and established exotics as the waterfall/lake comes into view, delivering breathtaking scenery where architectural ambitions can take hold.

A setting of this calibre deserves architecture to match, leaving the next chapter open for owners who will steer its future.

Ailsa and Paul welcome all enquiries and requests for further information and to meet on site (access with us must be arranged prior), and with vendors looking to secure an urgent sale this is an opportunity not to be missed!
