This serene property at 7 Creek Street in Sandspit, Rodney, roughly equidistant between Warkworth, Snells Beach and Matakana offers a more affordable way to get into an increasingly popular locale.
“We’ve seen a huge number of Aucklanders wanting to get out of the hustle and bustle of the big smoke to come up and enjoy living around this area,” says Bayleys Warkworth agent Avalon Sanders, who is marketing the property with James Sanders.
“Locations such as Matakana and Omaha have seen such strong price growth that they’re now typically out of reach for many normal people.

“Whereas this property represents an excellent way to start enjoying a relaxed lifestyle on the doorstep of the Mahurangi Peninsula and also the potential to add value to your property purchase.”
This home enjoys beautiful views over rolling countryside and distant hills. Its owner is currently offshore and is definitely ready to sell up.
“This early 2000s board and batten has good bones and a great location so it’ll hold its weight in terms of any improvements new owners want to make.”
It sits on about 8001sqm of land so completely screened from the road by bush that many people wouldn’t know it was there. It’s under 2km away from Sandspit’s marina and yacht club, near the departure point for water taxis to Kawau.

Sanders says this easy-care property is perfectly liveable as it but offers scope for a new buyer to put their own stamp on it, realising its full potential and value.
“You could do a simple cosmetic refurbishment or take the kitchen or bathroom to the next level or even extend the home. Personally, I think it’d look amazing with its exterior stained black so that’s one of the first things I’d do.”
The home admires stunning westerly sunsets from its expansive wrap-around decking, which is perfect for entertaining. There’s plentiful off-street parking near its carport.
Its open-plan kitchen-living-family room flows out to the sizeable deck. So does the neighbouring living room which luxuriates in the sense of added spaciousness bestowed by a high cathedral ceiling. This room is warmed by a crackling wood burner in winter months.

One of this level’s two generous double bedrooms opens up to the deck. A family bathroom, powder room and separate laundry complete this level.
“The upstairs bedroom has a feeling of retreat and is significantly sized, able to fit both a bed and seating area. New owners could explore creating an ensuite.”
The land, including a large fenced paddock which use to house sheep, is largely a blank canvas. A stand of pine trees offers an adventure playground for children wanting to build huts. The generous land size means future owners may want to add a studio, or minor dwelling to Airbnb (subject to council).

Warkworth is just over 5km from this address and talk suggests Snells Beach will be getting a supermarket soon. Central Auckland is just over 60km away.
Sanders envisages this property will be purchased by someone focused on a lifestyle change. There is wonderful swimming nearby at Brick Bay, Algies Bay or Martin’s Bay and lots of places around the area to launch boats whatever the tide.
7 Creek Street in Sandspit, Rodney will be sold at auction on February 24.
