Sailing adventures led to a rare shot at one of Aotearoa’s most remarkable waterfront lifestyles on Moturoa Island.
As the finishing touches were applied to this incredible rebuild among Pohutukawa and ocean, life’s journey has shifted, and this opportunity now sets sail again. New owners will capture more than an enduring four-bedroom home - this is a legacy. A place to retreat and never wish to leave.
A thoughtful rebuild has kept the old fireplace and transformed the original log cabin into a coastal masterpiece, where beautiful crafted timber floors have been laid throughout for permanence and durability, the lodge-style home celebrates privacy, shelter, and connection with nature.
Expansive joinery frames the ever-changing seascape, while a natural colour palette blends seamlessly with the coastal and country surrounds. Front and rear decking offers the choice of basking waterfront or retreating among native trees when a southerly rolls in.
The layout is equally considered: two bedrooms upstairs, with two more downstairs, one complete with kitchenette – ideal for hosting guests, family, or business partners. The house and bedrooms sit amongst the trees with the native birds dancing and singing morning and night and the chef’s kitchen is ready for the daily catch.
Island life is rich and unhurried. Grazing sheep keep the lawns in check, kiwi call at night, and fishing grounds beckon at the doorstep. Arrive by helicopter or boat, with moorings and traditional boat shed supports your stay.
Moturoa is owned by just 21 families each enjoying a safe and excluded island community. Shared facilities include tennis courts, bush tracks, and pristine beaches, while full-time caretakers and farm manager ensure resort-like living - from launching boats to tending the land. Gatherings at Christmas, tennis and fishing competitions, grape pickings or evenings beneath celestial skies are balanced by as much privacy as you desire on this amazing wildlife sanctuary.
Russell, Opua, and Doves Bay Marina are a short boat trip away, placing dining and amenities within easy reach.
