After 15 years of ownership the vendors have moved on and priced the property to sell. Built in the late 50s, this superbly renovated, beautifully presented home is a stunning example of the transformational architecture that marked the mid century era. Vibrant light-filled living spaces interconnect and open to both a louvre-covered outdoor entertaining area and an elevated, level and private landscaped garden and pool. A sense of space pervades this wonderfully relaxed, essentially one level floor plan. Completely modernised and extended over time, its elevation embraces wonderful afternoon sunshine and great views up the valley. Located in zone for Kohimarama School and Selwyn College, it also enjoys the delights of being close to Madills Farm, Melanesia Rd shops and the waterfront is also a pleasant level walk away. Time honoured brick and vertical weatherboard construction completes the pedigree of this sensational bays offering.

Kohimarama Real Estate

Today, Kohimarama is one of the quieter beaches along Tamaki Drive and has cafes along the beach front and Kohimarama Yacht Club. This club was set up in 1939 for young people and the construction of the club house at Gower’s Point, between the Kohimarama and Saint Heliers, was finished in 1957.

From 1892 to 1919, Kohimarama was also known as the ‘Jockey Bay’, since the area was used as a training ground for race horses. In 1919, the stables moved to Ronaki Rd, Mission Bay, and the land in Kohimarama was leased to W.H. Madill, a dairy farmer.

With the delights of Kohimarama Beach on the northern boundary, this in demand suburb has many lifestyle benefits. Most of the housing was built in the 50s and 60s, however with the implementation of the Unitary Plan there has been much redevelopment in recent years.
 

Madills Farm with its wonderful grass playing fields and children’s playground provide lots of recreational options as does the local yacht, tennis and bowling clubs. St Thomas’s School and Selwyn College are the local schools whilst the Eastridge Shopping Mall provides for every shopping need including a supermarket. Kohimarama covers 1.5sqkm and had an estimated population of 4,380 as of June 2022, with a population density of 2,901 people per sqkm.

In 2009 the Auckland City Council spent $10,000,000 to preserve the pōhutakawa trees by protecting the eroding sea wall. A boardwalk was created and sand was shipped from the northern beach of Pakiri. Naturalistic rock headlands were built and were the first of their kind along the Eastern Suburb beaches. They have become a part of the Tamaki Drive coastal landscape. The solution diverted storm water to either end of the beach and piped it out to a rock shelf. The rock headland formations were hand shaped and coloured to match the surrounding cliffs and recede into the existing environment.
