The Old Apple Picking Workers’ Cottage at Tinopai on the Kaipara Harbour has become available for a new owner to invest in a bit of Kiwi history, soak up the sun with a water view, be close to beach and boat launching.
The Cottage was purpose built to accommodate the apple pickers back around 1913, when Tinopai had become a thriving fruit producing area for the Auckland market. Apples were once grown on acres of farmland beyond, picked and shipped via the old Tinopai Wharf.
Boasting original features, clad with rough sawn timber, tongue & groove flooring, this comfortable three bedroom character cottage is positioned on 2568 sqm. It will appeal to those who like to disappear up a driveway, seek privacy, want a generous back yard, water view one side, farmland on the other.
The current owners have worked hard to give the cottage a new lease of life. There are two large water tanks, two smaller, own independent septic tank system, new Sleepout a handy space for a project or extra accommodation. Look forward to the new Woodburner soon to be installed replacing the coal range long gone. The bathroom has been updated to include a new vanity, utility room with more storage.
Plenty of character to enjoy many getaway weekends and holidays ahead. Who knows, you may just want to stay permanently in this relaxing seaside settlement! Interesting local activities to be involved with. Easy drive up from Auckland all on tarseal roads. Enjoy exploring other local areas such as Matakohe, Paparoa, and Pahi.
