Oyster Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound

Ideal for private use or boutique accommodation, this expansive five bedroom home enjoys a northern aspect with water views from the head of Oyster Bay. The 14.8 hectare (37 acre) mainly flat, well sheltered property boasts riparian rights, a tennis court, vegetable gardens and a pond. Spacious open plan living, including a conservatory and extensive decking, and superior fittings are features of the architecturally designed two storey dwelling. A combination of underfloor water pipes and hot water radiators, heated by solar power and a Rayburn wood burning stove, ensure the home is cosy all year. The property can be accessed either by road via private land from Port Underwood or by sea from Picton through the sheltered waters of Queen Charlotte Sound and Tory Channel. Well-formed tracks on the property take you from the substantial jetty past a large three bay lockable shed with sleepout, and through trees up to the house. A deep water mooring, a full range of chattels, including furniture, plant, equipment and vehicles, is part of the package along with the option to purchase a 7.7 metre boat. With a sun drenched private beach offering safe swimming and protection from the ferry wake, an abundance of wildlife, established trees and easy access to fishing and diving ground, this property is a natural paradise. ...
