Life is short, no do-overs . . . so . . do you really think it'll get cheaper to buy the family beach bach perched just above the boat ramp?

Here is a solid house . . . retained like a fortress, with piles of space for your boat and whatever else you can think of plus two separate cabins, workshop, 65,000 litres of water storage, 8-cube covered woodbox, massive decking, and sprawling views of the bay . . . that you won't have to liquidate everything else you own to get your hands on.

Minutes from sleepy little Mangonui and Doubtless Bay's world-class fishing, diving, and sailing. No need to pontificate further.

Do yourself, your children, and your grandchildren a great big favour.
