Buizen 48 Pilothouse "China Grove " - HUGE REDUCTION


"China Grove" is hull #2 of the Series 1 Buizen 48 -- a standout example of Australian craftsmanship and design. Eddie Buizen's vision was clear: a true cruising yacht with generous accommodation, single-level living, and panoramic visibility from the saloon. The result? A vessel with more interior volume than most 48-footers, and a layout that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces.

The hand-built teak cabinetry and timber finishes throughout are in superb condition. The L-shaped dinette offers exceptional comfort, while the galley -- equipped with fridge, freezer, stove, microwave -- is thoughtfully laid out and remains well integrated with the saloon.
Buizen yachts are renowned for their build quality, each requiring over 10,000 man-hours. The Pilot House design delivers a commanding 180°+ view through the wraparound windscreen, and the cockpit and saloon share a single level for effortless flow.
