OKURUKURU

Magnificently situated between the mountain and the sea on Surf Highway 45 South, just 10 kilometres from New Plymouth city and with proximity to Omata village and Oakura Beach is 'Okurukuru' (Maori translation 'to peel back the layers'). Okurukuru is perfectly positioned on approximately 20 hectares of predominantly north-facing, undulating, rural headland along half a kilometre of spectacular Tasman Sea coastline. Coupled with commanding views of Mount Taranaki and the surrounding countryside plus a moderate climate, Okurukuru's location makes it rare and highly sought-after, pristine coastal real estate. Visually imposing, immensely appealing and aesthetically pleasing, Okurukuru's landmark building is situated near the centre of the property at the end of the half-kilometre, sealed driveway which meanders past pond and stream, extensive native plantings and verdant vines that includes 1ha of Pinotage grapes, .800ha Pinot Gris, 1ha about to be planted in Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage, and 4ha trellised and for ready for planting. Outstanding in form, function and design this three-storied architectural masterpiece with its bespoke 'sea swell' curved roof and sweeping, panoramic views including the Sugar Loaf Islands and beyond, dominates from its elevated knoll above landscaped terraces and gently sloping pastures to the sea. Okurukuru is currently operating as an award-winning Restaurant and Events Centre - with an environmental award for energy efficiency and waste minimisation. The main restaurant floor including upper mezzanine floor and lobby (538m2) opens to a grand north terrace balcony (120m2) and portico entrance (40m2) that leads to a large, sealed car park. The lower basement includes conference room facilities and office amenities (415m2), cellar and vat room (224m2), and an outbuilding for storage and helicopter (111m2). Water is supplied from 7x tank reservoirs sourced from roof or spring with high pressure pump. Offering possible conversion to accommodation with space for a winery, Okurukuru has built one guest chalet comprising two self-contained, mirror image accommodation units (each 88m2), and has resource consent for five extra chalets (totalling 12 accommodation units in all) with permits for two chalets located on the ocean-facing lower level, accessed by metal chip road. Okurukuru presents a unique opportunity to create the ultimate lifestyle estate or optimum home and business property in a spectacular location between the mountain and the sea.
