If you’re tired of the daily grind and craving an escape from city chaos, this could be your golden opportunity.
Set in the unspoilt beauty of Kawau Island, this three-bedroom, one-bathroom home sits on a generous 1,214m² lightly bushed section and offers exceptional value for buyers with vision, tools, and a sense of adventure.
Let’s be clear – this home needs work, and that is reflected in the low price. It’s an absolute steal!

It is not polished or perfect. This is a project property, ideal for renovators, builders, or anyone keen to roll up their sleeves and create something special. The reward? Affordable island ownership and the chance to add serious value.

The Home
• Three bedrooms (two upstairs, one downstairs – ideal for guests or a home office)
• One bathroom
• Spacious open-plan living area
• Large windows (Auckland Council sign-off) allowing great natural light
• Functional kitchen ready for modernising
• Currently tenanted on a month-to-month basis – liveable while you plan improvements

Outdoor Living
• Two wraparound decks
• Mature trees providing privacy, shade, and birdsong
• A peaceful, natural setting that truly feels a world away

Location & Lifestyle
• Short walk or approx. 3-minute drive to Schoolhouse Bay Public Wharf
• Easy access to boating, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding
• Regular ferry services 7 days a week, up to 4 sailings daily
• Strong island community and genuine off-grid living potential (solar, rainwater, gardens)

The Numbers
• CV: $400,000
• Rates: approx. $929 per annum
• One of the most affordable island homes currently on the market in New Zealand

Finding an island property at this price point is rare. If you are searching for a diamond in the rough with character, potential, and serious upside, this is it.
This opportunity won’t suit everyone, but for the right buyer, it could be life-changing.
