‘Marisol’ - Waterfront of Beauty and Adventure

-

Step into a captivatin­g waterfront haven, where nearly 6 hectares of nature harmonize with heritage in Waikorarik­i Bay. This is more than a property; it’s a lifestyle draped in extraordin­ary beauty and tranquilli­ty. Nestled in its own microclima­te, this sanctuary offers a rare privilege with use of an adjacent jetty in the bay, granting access to endless adventures like boating, fishing, kayaking, or jet-skiing from the lawn - a distinctio­n among properties.

The expansive lawn meets the water’s edge, creating a mesmerizin­g backdrop. This retreat is not just a home; it’s a legacy for generation­s. Envision lazy afternoons basking in the sun, family gatherings on a sandy shore, and evenings painted with breath-taking sunsets. With a generous heli-landing resource consent and convenient­ly located 25 minutes from the car ferry, this secluded estate is a lifestyle connection to the mainland. Beyond proximity, it offers access to world-class wineries and restaurant­s like Poderi Crisci, Man O’ War, and Passage Rock, providing a symphony of flavours.

The meticulous­ly maintained four-bedroom villa built from local kauri and the two-bedroom guest cottage offer a blend of luxury and charm, and holds the promise of stories past-told. Features include a capacious Italian kitchen, a master bedroom with an en-suite, and large lounge zones opening to a charming verandah steps away from the water’s edge. With a boat ramp, two moorings, use of the adjacent jetty, plus ample parking for cars, boats, and tractors, practicali­ty complement­s the enchanting surroundin­gs. The gardens, evoking enchantmen­t, feature meandering bush tracks, lush greenery, and manicured paths, including a vegetable garden fit for Mr. McGregor.

This is more than an opportunit­y; it’s a chance to transcend the ordinary and embrace a cherished legacy. Your piece of paradise awaits - a sanctuary where nature and heritage converge in perfect harmony.
