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.

• Boat house on the wharf, plus the quirky "Margarita Bar" cabin
• Panoramic views that dazzle from sunrise to sunset - utterly captivating

• Previously cleared building platform and 3-bay lock-up shed - now naturally rewilding

• Plant & equipment includes a 5.5-ton digger with accessories and a rugged 8-wheeler Argo ATV
