Lakeside bach with jetty on market for first time in 90 years

Classic Kiwi baches don’t come much more idyllic than this 178sqm, four bedroom homestead nestled on a private, peaceful and quiet lakefront site in one of Lake Rotoiti’s most sought after loations at TeTi Bay. Pretty in white and cosseted by an abundance of tall trees and greenery, this cute and cosy bach’s setting brings immediate calm, offering the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is certainly private, as the section covers an amazing 6,824sqm.

Step down the sun-drenched wooden deck where generations of families have enjoyed the holidays of a lifetime, cross an expansive of green lawn - and you’re right beside the water and your boat tied at the jetty in which you have a half share. Enjoy a huge choice of water-borne activities such as swimming, waterskiing, paddle boarding, boating and of course the trout fishing for which Lake Rotoiti is famous.

Offering fabulous views across the lake, this bach is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the simple things in life, building precious memories that will last a lifetime. It boasts a spacious, comfortable and carpeted master bedroom which opens out on to the sun-drenched deck and the remaining two bedrooms are also generously sized.

The kitchen and sitting room form the hub of this home and as well as having a huge amount of storage, the kitchen is well set up for catering for a crowd. And that’s just as well, because it’s a safe bet that family and friends will clamber to get here and there’s plenty of room for them all.

This laid-back bach’s charm is all part of the experience, allowing its fortunate occupants the chance to step back to a time when life was more gentle and enjoy the best this amazing location has to offer. Laze the day away in the sun on the spacious deck and lose the stress of daily life, or spend a day out on the lake fishing, returning with a good catch or an equally good yarn about the ones that got away. And if you’re tired after a full day of lake activities, the thoroughly relaxing waters of the Manupira hot pools are just across the bay.

This lovely lakeside retreat comes with a full bathroom, a second toilet, a separate laundry complete with a second shower and attached shed/ utility room. A second shed adjoins the double carport.

The history behind this property dates back to the 1930s when the original family developed the area and began enjoying all their holidays in Te Ti Bay. The property has remained in the same family for 90 years – and now it’s time for another family to continue the story.

And if real estate is all about location, you can rest assured that it doesn’t get any better than this.
