The story so far:
Over three decades ago, a visionary couple secured this remarkable 1.68-hectare slice of paradise on Kawau Island. Their dream? A lush, tropical escape for family and friends-and eventually, a permanent island home perched at the top of the hill. Life, however, had other plans.
The property changed hands in 2020, when a new set of dreamers took over. But again, life got busy, careers took over, and then Cyclone Gabrielle struck.
The land suffered significant slip damage during the cyclone-runoff carved through the hillside, toppling pine trees and overgrowing what was once a well-prepped site. The old accessway is steep and challenging, and yes, the hill is a climb. But beneath the chaos lies an incredible opportunity.
Set in arguably one of Bon Accord Harbour’s most coveted locations, this waterfront property boasts breathtaking views, privacy, and enormous potential. It’s a project, no doubt-but for the right buyer, it could be something truly extraordinary.
• All-tide wharf and pontoon for your exclusive use
• Full riparian rights and a solid rock seawall
• North-facing aspect in a sheltered, private position
• Boat house on the wharf, plus the quirky “Margarita Bar” cabin
• Panoramic views that dazzle from sunrise to sunset – utterly captivating
• Steep, forested terrain with a (currently impassable) road to the top – a future gondola, perhaps?
• Previously cleared building platform and 3-bay lock-up shed – now naturally rewilding
• Two separate solar power systems – one for the waterfront, one for the hilltop
• Plant & equipment includes a 5.5-ton digger with accessories and a rugged 8-wheeler Argo ATV
• On-site wastewater system and water tank, ready for install
• Auckland Council rates are only $968.07 pa
Yes, It Needs Work – But Just Look at It
There’s no sugar-coating it: this property has been hit hard. It’s rough, overgrown, and in need of serious love. But the rewards? Immeasurable. With Kawau Ferry service delivering you right to your doorstep, and room for boats of all sizes, this is a rare chance to create your legacy in an absolutely premium location.
The price has just dropped to Offers from $550K, what are you waiting for?
1.68 hectares of island potential, waterfront access, and those unforgettable views-this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visionary new owners. Bring your ideas, your energy, and your dream.
Because magic still lives here…
