Considering a northern beach home to retire, or return to? Note this: Sandy Bay has no tourist buses, less foot traffic, and forms part of a lovely concertina of coves, adored by locals. Become one of them. An imminent cash sale is sought. Please contact Chris Jones and Francine Sweet of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Real Estate for more details.
