Boatshed 19/1 Ngapipi Road, Orakei

Ever imagined what you would do if you owned one of the iconic historic boatsheds in Hobson Bay? Could it be your waterfront day bach or art studio in the city with beautiful sunsets or maybe your America's Cup HQ? Here is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What makes them so special is they are built, like a boat, over the water and open right onto the water itself. Rarely ever do they come onto the market. For many years, they have been tightly held by a who's who of Auckland families who passed them on to family members. Originally established between the 1930's and the 1970's to store pleasure craft, before the days of the dry stack, they have since been used for a variety of purposes. Owners purchase a maritime licence to occupy and they own the structure itself which has Historic Places covenants ensuring they retain their appealing collective character. With their collection of simple low gable forms they create a distinctive built element when viewed from Tamaki Drive and Hobson Bay. No. 19 was built in the 70's and is full of utilitarian maritime charm. The generous, light-filled white interior has a pitched gabled ceiling, polished narrow slat timber floors and galley-style timber kitchen cabinetry. Modern bi-fold doors open wide to the concrete pad boat ramp, catching glorious afternoon sun that pours across the water. The view over to the city and Parnell is sensational. So, if you are serious about making your cool inner-city boatshed fantasy come true, bring your imagination and be quick to check it out.
