Every once in a while, a property appears that simply stuns you into stillness. This is one of those rare finds. Anchored above the surf in Mangamaunu, just north of Kaikōura, where the Pacific meets the mountains and nature performs on an endless loop.

Set on over 5000sqm within the exclusive Mangamaunu Farm Park, this contemporary, high-specced home offers a front-row seat to everything that makes New Zealand so breathtaking. Morning light spills in from the east as the Pacific unfurls below. To the west, snow-capped peaks of the Inland and Seaward Kaikōura ranges rise in majestic symmetry. And right in between, your breakfast table overlooks one of Aotearoa’s most coveted surf breaks.

The architecture is bold and thoughtful, with European-level detailing. Solid steel framing, double glazing, underfloor heating and radiators throughout ensure year-round comfort, while a stainless steel kitchen and wide-format tiling ground the space in durability. The open-plan living and dining zone frames every window like a moving canvas: ocean, bush, mountain, repeat.

Three bedrooms offer retreat-like calm, the master elevated by a full bathroom with private outdoor connection. Complete with a walk-in shower, striking blue tiling and lush greenery, feels more boutique spa than utility. Even the air feels fresher here, with water harvested from Pacific-rinsed rainfall.

Outside, the magic continues. Multiple decks invite ocean gazing or intimate fireside evenings beneath a star-splashed sky. A bespoke hot bath and sauna await after a swim at the Farm Park’s shared heated pool. You’ll also have access to tennis courts and 230 acres of shared land, where native flora is being carefully restored and protected.

Add a thriving veggie patch, fresh daily eggs, mobility-friendly design, a double garage and ample parking, and you’re somewhere between dreamscape and sanctuary. Just 15 minutes from Kaikōura, yet truly a world apart.
