What an amazing sanctuary just a short boat ride from Ohope in the Ohiwa Harbour. And a once in a lifetime opportunity to escape the mundane urban life and experience a life less ordinary on Ohakana Island. A wonderful playground for leisure activities like kayaking, paddle boarding. Catch flounder for dinner or splash out on free oysters. You may set off for a busy day but end up getting side tracked by losing yourself in the moment... a moment of peace and tranquillity. Soon you will adapt to a slower pace, you are on Island time! Watch the changing tide, the bird life, speedy kingfishers, flocks of dottrels, the shags, quails feeding on the lawn, the tuis and bellbirds. You will be securing some 10 acres with a well-designed 20 something year old boat themed board and batten home that offers all the mod cons. Views of unspoilt natural surroundings, harbour, bush and all, stream into the home from every angle.

On arrival, open up all the ranch sliders and louvers and spread out onto a massive deck where you will spend most of the summer. The kitchen comes with large walk in pantry and gas stove for the keen cook and has been designed with an Island theme in mind. High ceilings create a light and airy feel and the large lounge area boasts a feature fireplace. All three bedrooms are generous, master with ensuite and walk in wardrobe. There also a utility room and another smallish space, ideal for an office. Relax in the fantastic spa pool (you won't need togs) with a glass of wine, forget about boring daily life and watch the sun setting. Get inspired by the outstanding environment... you may start writing a book or even become an artist. Go for walks around your block or develop the land. You are sheltered from the southerly wind in this little micro-climate and there is room to improve the wee orchard. Two large sheds will accommodate all the toys you need to live a happy life.

This unique property can only be reached by a 5-minute boat ride, so you can rest assured that you will rarely get unexpected visitors.

Some things only happen once in a lifetime. This is a lifestyle choice that will change your life forever.
