This is a once-in-a-blue-moon invitation to secure essentially a third of Orapiu Bay.

For those seeking inter-generational holdings - why compromise? This is 5.46 hectares Freehold -unburdened by Title complexities, private, and enjoying unrivalled lawn-to-foreshore luxury. Tenure here is measured in decades, not years.

138 metres riparian mainly-beach coastline, immaculate grounds, two dwellings - a refurbished home and an adorable water-front cottage, four boat-sheds and a deep-water mooring. All connected by an exclusive, manicured drive.  Share the beach with one discrete other to occupy arguably the most exquisite portion of the Bay.

Fall back in time on arrival, reach out and practically touch the Island jewels of Rotorua and Ponui as they lie as if suspended on the easel of the Tamaki Strait. The entire package quietly exudes 31 years of excellent custodianship from a family whose majority of offspring are now across the Tasman.

The Bay, with its glassy waters, safe swimming, fishing and lack of tourist din is where memories are forged, bonds are solidified, while the venue for all flag-waving familial activities is never in question. Future weddings, camping, celebrations, quiet walks, scorching summers, moody evenings - all will be recorded in the Family WhatsApp group chat.

A brisk half hour drive from Matiatia, a drop-off at the Orapiu jetty, glide your yacht into the Bay – any brief trajectory is unquestionably worth it. Build a new coastal residence here or relish endless seasons as is.

Rarely can we offer these unified elements for sale and make no mistake – this will be passed on to the next benefactor.
