PRIVATE SALE ~ phone OWNER ~ 027 469 2233
Eco-Friendly Paradise - in the Heart of Browns Bay
15 Woodlands Cres
Limited opportunity to secure this superb property by 22-2-2024
BEFORE renovations start in earnest - because once completed to my satisfaction I probably won't want to sell for another 10 - 20 years!
After searching for over 2 years I finally found a property (100 miles away!) that would tempt me to sell, what I regard as, the VERY BEST HOME in Browns Bay ~ BUT if I don't get my offer in by Thursday 22nd February 2024 I will probably miss out - and stay and remodel this Woodlands Wonder and enjoy all it's BENEFITS . . maybe right until I pop my clogs . . . :}
It has 5 STAR POTENTIAL
SPACIOUS - 1027 sq.m
MAIN HOUSE - 168 sq.m - with 2 bathrooms, 3 to 4 bedrooms,
including one downstairs with wheelchair friendly ensuite:
+
MINOR DWELLING / GRANNY FLAT / EXTRA INCOME - 120 sq.m.
1 to 2 bedroom self-contained FLAT with
DOUBLE GARAGE & WORKSHOP underneath - which could be another identical FLAT for even MORE INCOME?
ENJOY the TRANQUILITY & PRIVACY the bank of NATIVE BUSH offers and BREATHE IN the FRESH AIR it produces!
FLAT ACCESS to Browns Bay Beach and all amenities - library, shops, bowling greens, buses - maintain mobility and independence for elderly or disabled members of the family - the prime reason my family bought it in the first place without truly appreciating its other fine qualities which materialised once we moved in.
Eco-Friendly design by Reinhardt Kanuka Fuchs of the Building, Biology & Ecology Institute of NZ
Enhanced with:
SOLAR PANELS
HRV ventilation
Heavenly Water Factory - with marine-grade stainless steel tanks, Grundfos pump - great fire protection - producing triple filtered & UV treated water from the sky. Best for the garden!!!
Productive ORGANIC GARDEN PATCH & mature fruit trees and shrubs which include bananas, fejoia, plums, guava, figs, grapes and blackberries - thornless of course!

But be quick if you want to put your stamp on this very special property right in the heart of Browns Bay.
We have tradies ready to go from the end of February - they say it will take about 6 weeks - and you could follow the style of the already renovated bathroom in the flat - pictured:
OR dream up you own designs - with your own builder etc.
I may even be persuaded to leave some finance in - for the right person . . .:}
YOU can even negotiate a COMMISSION if you send along a BUYER.
AGENTS ALSO WELCOME to do so . . . Remember the DEADLINE
Thursday 22nd February 2024.

SOS . . . HELP move our HQ from Torbay Bay to Browns Bay . . . we have been staying temporarily in a rental for an eye-watering cost, waiting for our Woodlands HQ to be repaired from the January flood of 27th 2023 . . . after 11 months, still no result but we can't afford to wait any longer . . . :{
Besides, our main vehicle broke down just as the garage was closing for their Christmas break and won't be fixed until after the 8th January:
BUT we need to move out on Thursday 4th!
All our records have once again got wet in the garage in Torbay and we need to move the sodden mess to salvage what we can - and a load of other books on health, organics, chemicals, campaigns etc:
and put as much in storage as we can until the house is fixed . . . 202???
If you have any time, or a vehicle to spare, or both:
TOMORROW - Wednesday 3rd January 2024 to ferry bags of books to storage:
OR Thursday 4th to help clean up after the furniture removals have done their magic from 10am
- 12noon +:
PLEASE CONTACT OUR CO-ORDINATOR ~ Tricia ~ 027 469 2233
Email: [email protected]
All will be rewarded with one of our superlative FOS tees, bags, or hats etc . . . see pics . . . :}
PS - I just wish people would STOP POSTING IRRELEVANT MATERIAL on this page . . . it is dedicated to non-toxic solutions - not a load of rubbish!!!
Cheers.
