City Beachfront Cottage for Sale and Rent in Glendowie, Auckland, St Heliers, New Zealand

Auckland Central, Hidden Beachfront Paradise, Karaka Bay

AUCKLAND CITY? YES! ACTUALLY ON THE BEACH? YES! KARAKA BAY - HIDDEN PARADISE? YES!
At your fingertips the full amenities of the city. At your toes the soft white sand. Reality is, there is no garage to park your car. You drive to the end of Peacock St, you walk through the pohutukawas down the sealed path approximately 100 metres to your house. An eclectic group of people enjoy the pacific feeling on the beach where 10 houses nestle. There are no road noises, there is no road between you and the beach. Yes, the tuis do sing and the neighbours you hear are the sound of waves.
Here you can live two different lives, by day in the hustle and bustle of your professional life, then you return to your hidden paradise and kayak to Browns Island, swim, fish, sail, windsurf or just relax in the sun and watch the others play, the whales blow, the fish jump, the yachts racing, the ferries pass by . Karaka Bay, with a history of it's own, is situated at the mouth of the Tamaki River and is just 10 minutes drive from Auckland city central along the waterfront/Tamaki Drive.
St Heliers village with library, banks, cafes, post office, variety of retail outlets and tennis courts is just over the hill.
The 80sq metre cottage is built probably late 1920's and has been lovingly restored to sophisticated charm. Lounge, dining, office/TV and one of the two bedrooms all face the sea. There is one toilet and a separate bathroom with laundry facilities.
To be in a magical place like this, you can't be inactive, you are not the same as everyone else. Author, artist, celebrity, professional, retired, sports enthusiast, or just want to be in a hidden paradise?

Dare to be different!
