Te Kaka Whakaara - A place that inspires
**THIS PROPERTY IS NOW SOLD**
This unique property is steeped in history and charm as one of the earliest buildings in Karekare, alongside its neighbour, the Karekare House (also known as the Barracks) and Winchelsea House. Once the only store in operation during the 1960s, a sign from the store was discovered beneath the house and now hangs proudly in the dining area.
Unscathed by Cyclone Gabrielle, the property became the hub of the community providing a place to gather.
Situated on 842 sqm of flat lawn and garden, adjacent to Karekare Beach access, this property has been owned by notable figures, including the first European settlers, Charles Murdoch (1886), Maria and Charles Farley (1900), renowned children's author Dorothy Butler, and since 2000, the current owner.
A flat, easy stroll leads to the famous Karekare Beach, surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Auckland's west coast. Known for its natural beauty and cinematic history, Karekare was the setting for the acclaimed film "The Piano" in 1992, and has hosted notable musicians and creatives.
The character-filled, 70s-renovated, 2-level home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and multiple living areas, perfect for family or guests. Whether in summer or winter, this property will fill your heart with warmth. A private, sheltered, sunny courtyard, a one-car carport, and an unlimited water supply are just a few of the highlights. In the backyard, a workshop has been built on the foundation of the 3-tier brick pottery kiln used by hippies in the 70s, and the original chimney still remains.
Karekare is a rural coastal settlement located on Auckland's west coast, nestled between the Waitakere Ranges and a stunning black sand surf beach. With approximately 320 permanent residents, it offers a sense of wildness and tranquility, yet is only 45 minutes from Auckland's CBD.
Nearby Piha (7 km away) offers additional amenities, and full shopping facilities are available in Henderson or Titirangi Village, just 23 km away, and 37Km to Auckland's central business district. The local primary school is Lone Kauri Community School, and in zone for Oratia District School.
