“CROW’S NEST”

This property is situated on a ridge in the peaceful settlement of Orapiu with an extensive deck looking down to the jetty and Waiheke Channel across to Ponui & Rotoroa Islands, with the Coromandel ranges in the background.
The home makes full use of its setting, with trifold doors giving a wonderful sense of bringing the outside in, enhanced by the use of “earth, sea and sky” colours. With a well-equipped galley kitchen and high-quality appliances, offering plenty of living areas, all making the most of the stunning view. There is also an office space, laundry and toilet.
Upstairs the view from the main bedroom and bathroom is even more spectacular. Open the sliding windows while in the bath and it feels like you are truly in nature. Choose between the panoramic view looking east or go to the Romeo and Juliet balcony at the back looking west for those romantic evenings with a gin and tonic.
Totally separate from the main house and connected by covered decking, are 2 further double bedrooms and a modern tiled bathroom. Plus another living area that could easily become an office, art studio or extra sleeping space.
The present owner can attest that the separation of main house and guest area works really well allowing both communal activities and space for privacy – or maybe an opportunity for AirBnB.
The added advantages include a concrete drive, garage with remote door opener, parking spaces at the top of the drive, UV water purifying system, solar hot water system, wi-fi access, woodburner and plenty of under house storage. The property could be sold furnished so you could simply arrive, unpack and relax.
Only a short walk to the Orapiu Wharf, where you can catch the weekend ferry to and from the city, or lose all sense of time fishing. There are coastal walking tracks and three beaches on your doorstep as well (Pohutukawa, Otakawhe and Orapiu), not to mention the local distillery and world-renowned vineyards an easy drive away.
Once you get to the “Bottom End”, you won’t want to leave.
