If you have a sense of history then this property has it in bucket loads. It has the 1900s villa, the enormous Morton bay fig tree, the huge Norfolk pine trees that speak to you of longevity and numerous out buildings The villa is partially restored. Over the past couple of years remedial work has been undertaken with the re - blocking of the foundations. The restoration process is continuing throughout the house using native timbers and keeping to the ambience of the house of yester year. Currently the residence has two bedrooms, one bathroom, large lounge room, small kitchen, open fireplaces. The rich kauri and other native timbers are beautiful, warm and mellow. The villa has three verandas for quiet contemplation, relaxation or enjoying an evening cocktail. The flat land is 1.545 hectares with several out buildings. A corrugated iron barn can house the farm equipment. Another building has the rustic charm that only old buildings can have. Currently it is used for weekly meetings. With more restoration this building could open a whole raft of ideas for future use. A separate small cottage is adjacent to the main house providing further accommodation. A dominating feature of the property is the Morton bay fig tree. Over the years it has grown into an iconic feature of the property that is to be treasured and protected. The property is just delightful offering many, many options in a beautiful part of the country. Taipa is a stone's throw away for the shops and the beautiful white sands of Taipa Beach.
