Launch the kayak from the bottom of your garden and enjoy life beside the tranquil Okura Estuary. Just 10 minutes from Albany and Browns Bay, yet it feels like your own private coastal retreat. The well maintained home offers exciting potential to renovate, extend, or start again with a blank canvas and create your dream home in this stunning setting. Positioned on a gently sloping 1,100 square meter freehold site, the property enjoys easy walking access from the bottom of the garden to the picturesque foreshore reserve and a small Pohutukawa framed beach. It's the perfect place to launch a kayak or paddleboard, enjoy a swim, or spend relaxed afternoons by the water with family, friends and grandchildren. Okura is a hidden seaside gem, located just a 10-minute drive from Browns Bay and Albany, where you'll find excellent shopping, restaurants, motorway access and the university. Yet living here feels like escaping to a holiday home beside a South Island lake or a peaceful Northland harbour. The estuary is a protected marine reserve, and the Okura Bush Scenic Reserve across the water ensures your outlook remains beautifully natural and protected. Wake to the sound of Tui in the Pohutukawa and watch kereru (native wood pigeons) swoop past the deck to feed in the nearby Puriri trees. Imagine relaxing on your deck as fish jump across the mirror-calm water while a formation of geese passes overhead. Living here feels like being part of a nature documentary - except it's your own backyard. Locals launch their boats at the end of Okura River Road and head out to the Hauraki Gulf for fishing, while school buses conveniently depart from the nearby community hall. Opportunities like this are rare - don't miss your chance to secure a truly special waterfront lifestyle.
