OVERVIEW
Nestled beside the serene Waikanae River, 17 Makora Road is a home unlike any other, offering unparalleled views stretching across the water to Kapiti Island. Elevated among the treetops, this exceptionally well-maintained 1955 weatherboard home has a sprawling wraparound deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The connection to nature here is undeniable, with the sound of native birds and the gentle flow of the river creating a peaceful retreat.
On the market for the first time in over 30 years, this iconic Otaihanga home sits within an exquisitely landscaped garden, where winding paths lead to a secluded summer house, hidden amongst lush greenery. A charming greenhouse, overflowing with vibrant flowers and grapevines, connects these magical spaces, adding to the atmosphere.
With a rare personal perspective, I can genuinely appreciate the magic of this home, having grown up here before it passed to the current owners. From swinging into the river to exploring the surrounding reserves, this was a special place to experience childhood.
Beyond the garden gates, direct access to the river walkway leads to the Te Araroa Trail, native reserves, and an extensive network of scenic walking and cycling tracks. The surrounding environment invites exploration, offering endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and village charm of Otaihanga.
A full builders report is available, providing peace of mind.
