Description

Sailor's Delight


A celebration of all-things nautical, this property will truly captivate. From its dynamic water views and bespoke architecture - sail into fun times with this Opua character.

This wonderful home was a collaboration between an architect and its owner - a skilled boatbuilder, sailor and artist. Filled with ocean going nostalgia, the owner has crafted much of the interior to portray a classic sailing boat, including a kitchen in the style of a boat galley and lots of curved wood trim and sarked ceilings.

With a passion for yachting, the theme runs deep, right down to door handles from several different boats. Even the fascinating sketches and artwork are from his very own hands that belong with the house.

Enormous windows make the lounge, kitchen and dining room feel very spacious and light-filled, with big sliders leading to the deck. The deck is perfectly positioned for relaxing and watching yachties race below. The views here are both stunning and action packed, as they overlook the water, Opua and the car ferry.

While labelled a two-bedroom home, the large storage room could easily become a bunk room, or with a minor renovation a generous 3rd bedroom could be added. The master bedroom soaks up the water view, and the bathroom has a separate toilet - again all filled with lovely timber fixtures and fittings.

Below the residence is a multi-purpose garage, offering both a functional workshop and more storage options. There is plenty of parking, with ample space designated for trailer boats. Additionally, a conveniently located carport is adjacent to the entrance.

New carpets, drapes and fresh paint give this property an instant Airbnb quality - ready now for high income yields over summer. #20 would also make an ultimate holiday home just 6km from Paihia. Or why not make it your mainstay?

Opua is charm personified. A beautiful marina and café, walking and mountain bike tracks, boat ramp, takeaways, general store and yacht club for meals. Makes you want to drop anchor and call it your own!
