274 and 284 Hokianga Harbour Drive, Omapere, Far North

Captain Martin's Land

Introducing an absolute waterfront sensation once owned by the Hokianga Harbour Master, Captain Martin, this land is the last of its kind in Omapere.

There are two titles that rests between the deep blue and SH12 in the Hokianga. Tallying 9,097sqm, the opportunity is ripe for creating a permanent home or a holiday bolthole. Further subdivision and residential development are strong contenders, too.

Steeped in history and the last of a substantial size on the Omapere waterfront make it truly unique. As a first mate on the sailing vessel Governor Macquarie, Mr Martin, purchased the block of land from Maori Chiefs in 1832. He built a small cottage and painted it white as a marker for ships coming into the harbour - and today, this very special part of the country offers an astute buyer the chance to realise their own waterfront dreams a little over 3 hours from Auckland.

The block is flanked in ancient Pohutukawa and is zoned Coastal Residential, it extends from the road right down to the sand dunes, beyond that is the beach. The title at 274 Hokianga Harbour Drive is 7,082sqm and the waterfront section at 284 is 2,015sqm.

Given the flat contour and picturesque nature of the property it has attracted a number of requests for wedding ceremonies over the years.

The Hokianga Harbour has the power to enthral and is the backdrop of many a fishy tale. Wake to a vibrant sunrise on the famous sand dunes, check out the surf on the harbour bar, discover who's set sail for the day, read the ocean's conditions from your front lawn - life slows down here; it has its own rhythm.

This is the perfect address for building family memories. Unreal fishing and many great forest walks nearby, coupled with a beachfront life - paradise found.

The owner is no longer in the country and will not be returning. Both titles to be sold together at auction with a combined CV of $975,000. For the full information pack, contact David today.
