Around nine years ago this cute 69 square metre, two-bedroom cottage was relocated onto this tidy four-acre lifestyle block on Pahi Road. New piles, deck, septic tank were all signed off and two big water tanks, lawn and a fenced yard completed the property. The land is perfectly situated to overlook the Kaipara Harbour, to both the east and west; it offers a bit of native bush, good shelter and is self-sufficient for stock water. Currently being grazed by the neighbour’s cattle, it wouldn’t take much to set up for a variety of farm animals, a few chooks and perhaps an orchard!
The cottage is well-situated on the land, leaving a generous space for access and parking. The windows of both bedrooms and the living area are greeted by a view of morning sunrise over the water. The living area offers plenty of windows, panoramic water and rural views and a ranch-slider onto the wrap-around deck. The kitchen offers room for all the basics plus a dining table if you wish, and a door opens onto the deck for outdoor dining. There is a bathroom, shower, with separate toilet and separate laundry nook. There is insulation floor and ceiling and a mix of aluminium and wooden joinery.
Historically a Port (when water was the main means of transport), Pahi is now a sought-after holiday destination offering safe harbour access, boat-ramp, wharf as well as hosting the annual Pahi Regatta and offering a full range of community clubs and groups. There are shops, Café’s and weekly Farmers Market only 3km up the road at Paparoa (the “Village in the Valley”). Pahi is popular with fishermen, lifestyle-blockers, retirees and escapees from Auckland.
The school bus passes the gate; schools are located at Paparoa and Maungaturoto, also Ruawai and Matakohe. Low maintenance and easy-care, this property would make a great start and a smart buy with the potential to create the lifestyle of your dreams.
