Looking out over the inlet like this changes things. The day feels a little slower, the outlook a little wider, and home starts to feel less like a place you return to — and more like a place that restores you.
Positioned above Te Puna Inlet, this solid concrete block home captures wide Bay of Islands panoramas and offers a lifestyle that feels calm, private, and beautifully removed — while still keeping you close to Kerikeri, Doves Bay, schools, and everyday essentials.

Set across three split levels, the home has been designed around light, outlook, and space. The north-facing, glass-fronted living area draws the view right into the home, creating an easy connection between indoors, outdoors, and the ever-changing water beyond.

There’s plenty of room here for real life, too. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, workshop, potential cellar, and a high-stud internal-access garage provide flexibility for family, guests, hobbies, storage, or coastal toys. Whether it’s a boat, camper, tools, or weekend gear, this home has the practical spaces to match the lifestyle.

The 8,000m² grounds are mostly native bush, giving the property a wonderful sense of privacy and calm. Birdsong, walking tracks, water views, and space to breathe all come together in a setting that feels distinctly Bay of Islands.

Just minutes from the Doves Bay boat ramp and approximately 15 minutes from Kerikeri, this is a home for those who want more than just a place to live. It’s a base for boating, relaxing, exploring, entertaining, and switching off.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent home, a coastal retreat, or a Bay of Islands launchpad, this one deserves a fresh look.

Viewings are by appointment — message or call to arrange a time that suits.
