ID#330664 - Kerikeri, Bay of Islands

Opportunities like this rarely come on the market. The land, steeped in history, formed part of the Bayly Family's farm in the 1850s. It is believed there have only been two owners in the last 160 years! It has retained much of its ancient ruggedness and seclusion offering unspoilt beauty and tranquility.

From pre-European times this waterway was the main water transport route. Today the traffic is more colorful with fishing boats heading out to marlin grounds, sailing yachts motoring down the channel eager to set their sails in open seas and the odd fisherman in his dinghy out for a spot of fishing.

This property includes an eccentric bach that began life as an ambulance bay on Waiheke Island and was relocated on this well-groomed land with established plantings. The bach could be extended into a holiday pad or removed to make way for a magnificent home. The location provides a special opportunity to capitalize not only on the tantalizing, panoramic ocean views but also on the breathtaking and calming rural vistas.

Through a stand of native bush a path leads to a rocky cove and secluded beach where the fishing is exceedingly rewarding! Launch the dinghy and within minutes you can be at the local marina, ready for a glorious day out on the world famous Bay of Islands waters.

If you prefer to just meditate and feed your soul, sit on the beach and feel the joy of total isolation; listen to the ebbing tide as it withdraws back into the ocean, dip your toes into crystal clear water, throw a line or explore the surrounding coves on your kayak. The choices are yours.

Conveniently located just fifteen minutes from the popular village atmosphere of Kerikeri, this prized property is a must view for a broad range of buyers seeking that rare, prime coastal site. Enjoy your newfound lifestyle away from the maddening city crowds.

This is the lifestyle people dream about. Come and feel its magic.

From 2000 Chester led his previous company’s drive to establish their presence in the South Pacific Islands, in particular Fiji, selling resorts, waterfront real estate, residential resort developments and private holiday retreats.

From 2008 to mid 2014 Chester returned to the Bay of Islands and was the Far North area’s leading sales person for his previous company year after year culminating in managing the Far North area from Kerikeri for 12 months and then opening and running a new Paihia office in the centre of the Bay of Islands.

In January 2018 Chester was asked to take a leadership role in the Kerikeri Office for his current company and he will lead their expansion into the Bay of Islands and the wider Northland area - so the commuting days to Auckland have all but gone! One less car on Auckland’s congested roads! He will continue to sell high end waterfront and luxury properties, tourism properties and businesses in New Zealand and squeeze in a little Fiji.
