NAGLE COVE, GREAT BARRIER ISLAND

ASKING PRICE:  $5,300,000

Great Barrier Island is one of the last great wilderness areas of the Auckland region. With almost two thirds of the island protected with Department of Conservation ownership, the Island's unspoiled natural beauty is assured, allowing the island to retain New Zealand as it used to be - rugged, sparsely populated and naturally beautiful. Historic Nagle Cove represents a rare opportunity to acquire a very special land holding on this island.

Surrounded by water, the property is in four freehold titles - all with riparian rights - with a total land area of 143 hectares.

The historic main homestead, built in the early 1900s and completely upgraded in 1989, is set in a sheltered northerly facing natural amphitheatre overlooking a sheltered bay. It has five bedrooms, formal and informal living and dining areas, a landscaped garden, private wharf, marina and two deep water moorings. The resident caretaker lives in a neighbouring three bedroom cottage. A freshwater bore and two wind generators take care of the practicalities of daily life.

The property has approximately 130 hectares in fenced farmland carrying sheep. However, the land around the cove itself has been retired from farming and an active planting programme has been in place for the past decade to re-establish native forest.
