Nestled on the Okura waterfront is number 17 Okura River Road. Set on a massive 1404 square metre section, the main home is a spacious 3 bedroom weatherboard bungalow with expansive decks for entertaining and an amazing view out across the estuary to the Okura scenic reserve. At the bottom of the beautiful garden a private pathway leads you to a small reserve area with safe swimming and easy access for your kayak or paddleboard.
In addition to the main bungalow is a separate music or art studio in a Balinese-style tropical garden with lily ponds and exotic plantings.
Also on the same property there is a separate 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cedar cottage that is ideal for extended family or could provide a very nice income.
Looking out across the tranquil waters of the Okura Estuary with the Okura reserve on the opposite shore you could believe you are 100 kilometres from Auckland city and the suburbs. It's so quiet you can hear the fish jump.
Okura is just 25 minutes drive to Auckland's CBD, and 10 minutes from Browns Bay, Long Bay or Albany's fantastic schools, Westfield Mall and Massey University.
There is a real community spirit here, locals stop and chat and look out for each other and regular events include the Easter Frolic, tree planting in the reserve, community BBQ's and the Okura Forrest Festival, held to raise funds to help protect the Okura reserve. If you are looking for a peaceful sea-side escape from normal city or suburban life and love a country feel then 17 Okura River Road will offer you a wonderful lifestyle.
