Coastal Paradise Found

This incredibly soulful home rests snugly on the land, surrounded in paradise with the Pacific below. An eco-driven design has partnered with nature's finest offerings - ocean and earth. Every inch of the home has been considered to bring out the best from its tranquil location, about 90 minutes north of Auckland. Suspended above McKenzie Cove with Langs Beach about 2 minutes away, seldom does perfection get so close.

The brief to the architect called for timeless design and maximum views - coastal, bush and out to the Brynderwyn Hills. A home that effortlessly nurtures a family through the years with little change. The resulting 3-bedroom property exploded our owner's expectations, delighting them with a pavilion style layout and an earth brick wall that dissects the middle of the house - casting warmth in winter and oozing character, it also anchors the separate wings (a 2-bedroom guest wing with Japanese inspired separate living/ 4th bedroom, plus a master's quarter).

While working from the modern cooks' kitchen, dolphin and orca are often spotted below. This workspace is highly functional with plenty of storage and bench space. Escape to the master bedroom and enjoy a tapestry of bush views in your own sanctuary. A cosy media room with fireplace floats above a garden. Outside, pergolas filter sunshine and promote shelter, and 3-car garaging fits a motorhome.

Our vendor's will miss the indulgent views of the ocean, the dynamic landscape, vibrant Kowhai flowering on the seaward ridge, stillness, space and calm, the chorus of birdsong, and fresh fruit from orchard to mouth. Exquisite! Gardens are low maintenance, relaxed and casual to allow the true heroes to shine - ocean and rural views. There's even a few bee hives harvesting a modest amount of medicinal Manuka honey and pollinating the 21-variety fruit trees.

Scope exists to grow the current lifestyle/accommodation business, in what was previously the 'kids wing'.

Passive Solar design. Privacy too.

Weekend or permanent - this can be your haven!
