Little Vivian Bay.
Kawau Island. $850,000 (Ref #1171)
Big Home needing Makeover.
Sitting high and proud above Vivian Bay, this large home was the original Little Vivian Bay homestead and was home to a considerable sized family for many years.
As its’ name suggests, Little Vivian Bay is the little brother to Vivian Bay on the North West coast of the island.
Probably the closest point to the Sandspit gateway, it is a mere 15 minute ride from Sandspit by water taxi or shuttle and is commonly regarded as one of the most desirable locations on the island.
Sited up a private right of way from the shared all-tide wharf the large (3030 square metre) section sits on the brow of the hill and enjoys commanding views to the west, north and east.
Large areas of lawn surround the house and, in turn are enclosed by privacy screens of Kanuka on each side and to the rear. All day sun is a real bonus.
The house, as the heading suggests, is crying out for creative and sympathetic restoration and re decoration.
Built over two levels, it contains six bedrooms, two bathrooms and a multitude of living and utility areas. On the ground floor there are decks at the front and side, while upstairs, the master bedroom has French doors opening out on to its own private deck.
The house structure is sound, there is ample water storage and a large shed to the rear provides ample storage for quad bike, firewood etc.
This is a real opportunity for a creative and innovative new owner to transform the property into a fabulous holiday home for either family use, or to resell at a profit.
The price of $850,000 makes ample allowance for the work involved in restoration and is well below the entry price for this very prestigious part of Kawau Island.
This is definitely a “worst house best street” scenario and as such is likely to attract considerable interest.
