A boat shed in Auckland's Ōrākei, with no bedrooms or bathrooms, has been sold for over $2 million at auction.
The shed, nestled on the city's waterfront, was being advertised as a "day bach" where those who could afford the steep price can "retreat to relax and reset".
Today, realtor Paul Sissons revealed to 1News that the shed sold for $2,050,000 - a "record price".
The auction was opened at $800,000, with four bidders battling it out to gain access to the spot.
Sissons said new owners are Ōraki residents who will be using the boat shed as a base for their boating activities.
They won't be able to legally live there and will need a maritime licence to occupy the shed. They also would have had to buy it outright, as it's not technically classed as a 'home'.
Their new day bach is part of a group of heritage-protected boatsheds that were originally built in the 1930s.
Sissons told 1News that the listing is a piece of Auckland's maritime history.
In August last year, one sold for $1.35 million. Two years ago, another sold for just over $1 million.
The previous owners are "delighted" to have made the sale, Sissons said.
