A jetty for this property is a must as it’s located on Kawau Island, accessible only from the water.
The two waterfront titles are sitting on 2.5ha of freehold native bush land in Bon Accord Harbour, the island's biggest, with ocean as a natural boundary. It's a getaway in the Hauraki Gulf, easily accessible from the city, Sandspit or Snells Beach.
At high tide, you can launch a boat or a kayak straight from the shed, otherwise an extra-long jetty and deep-water mooring has you covered on a low tide.
The two homes, designed by architect Simon Carnachan, have a shared wooden deck. Upstairs is a loft-style bedroom with a downstairs kitchen and lounge facing looking into the water.
The Kawau Island property is marketed by Premium Real Estate agent Chris Barker and expressions of interest are closing on February 12.

Positioned just outside of Picton, this five-bedroom residence in the heart of Queen Charlotte Sound by the golden sand beach is one of New Zealand's premium waterside playgrounds, considered the Golden Mile.
The sealed track through the bush connects the house to the boat shed, an immaculate floating jetty, a slipway and a jet ski crane.
The boat is a must when living in the Sounds so the massive boat shed would fit all the toys you might have.

The water front 330 sq m home has a massive stainless-steel deck balustrade edging the outside area designed for entertainment and has two stone fireplaces for chilly evenings.
A 15-minute drive from Picton, the gated residency tucked in beech trees and bush is a paradise for nature-lovers but also has amenities and shops at its finger tips.
