8A Schoolhouse Bay Road, Kawau Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands

Leave the world behind

No 8a Schoolhouse Bay Road is just up the road from the original schoolhouse established in 1870 and after which the bay has taken its name. Today Schoolhouse Bay is now a popular, sheltered anchorage and one of the main hubs for the island ‘s permanent residential community. Just a short stroll up the formed metal road from the bay's public wharf and past the property's garage/storage shed, the property affords flora framed sea views out over Bon Accord Harbour towards the Kawau Bay Yacht Club - and there is even a mooring available in the bay, that is visible from the house. The property's sheltered location, elevated and northerly aspect “let's the sun shine in” and creates a very warm and airy persona. Downstairs there are two generous sized bedrooms with modern bathroom and floor to ceiling views out over the valley and water beyond. External stair access leads to an expansive sun drenched deck upstairs which then flows into the main lounge/dining, bedrooms, bathroom/laundry and kitchen areas beyond. All rooms bar the second bedroom are bathed in sunshine and treated to sea views. A generously sized and well-appointed kitchen is the engine room of the upstairs, while all rooms are filled with character and light and make an exceptionally pleasant and practical living space. Outside there is a good sized flat lawn, and outdoor dining area, while the functional water tank and septic systems are conveniently tucked away behind the rear of the house. The current owners who are permanent residents on the island, have been very single-minded about the maintenance and upkeep of the property and new owners would find everything to be in excellent condition and good working order. With four generous sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a convenient location and picturesque views from virtually every room, there is much to commend this property. If you are looking for a permanent home or a holiday retreat that has been expertly maintained and is blessed with sun and personality then come and have a look. You won't find anything that compares in terms of value for money.
