Elevated above the wharf to capture the incredible view, this exceptional residence presents a rare lifestyle opportunity. First discovered through a lifetime spent sailing these waters, the home has since been carefully reimagined and is now offered anew as priorities evolve. More than a four-bedroom residence, it is a private island sanctuary, created for gathering, retreating, and leaving the everyday far behind. Moturoa Island is tightly held by just 21 families, offering a rare sense of belonging within a secure and exclusive island community. Shared amenities include tennis courts, walking tracks and pristine beaches, while full-time caretakers and a farm manager ensure life runs effortlessly, from launching boats to managing the land, allowing owners to simply arrive and unwind. The residence has undergone a comprehensive rebuild that honours its origins while delivering contemporary comfort. Retained elements, including the original fireplace, acknowledge the home’s history, now transformed into a refined coastal retreat, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views across the Bay of Islands. Solid timber floors throughout bring warmth, durability and timeless appeal, complementing a lodge-inspired design that prioritizes shelter, privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. Expansive decks to both the front and rear of the home provide versatile outdoor living—whether entertaining in the sun by the water or retreating among native bush in more sheltered conditions. Accommodation is thoughtfully configured, with two bedrooms on the upper level and two on the lower level. One lower bedroom includes a kitchenette, offering excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living. Nestled among established trees, the home is alive with birdsong, while the well-appointed kitchen is ideally suited to preparing the day’s fresh catch. Life on Moturoa Island is unhurried and abundant. Sheep graze the open lawns, kiwi call after nightfall, this dream home comes with its own boatshed for easy access to the renowned fishing grounds just beyond the shoreline. Access is simple and convenient, with a short 20 minute boat journey from Russell or Paihia, and approximately 10 minutes from Kerikeri Marina. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom offered.
