Listing # 2241260 | Listed on 18 August

Tucked away in Whitianga’s prestigious Ohuka Park, this hidden gem offers rare seclusion, space, and sweeping vista – yet it’s only minutes from the beach, boat ramp, shops, and cafes. Set on eight acres – the largest landholding in Ohuka Park, the elevated home looks out over private native bush towards Mercury Bay and Whitianga Harbour; a panorama of enduring natural beauty that will never be built out.
Here, privacy meets proximity - relax among Kererū and Tūīs, far from neighbours, busy streets, and holiday rentals, then head down the hill to swim at the beach, launch the boat, dine out, or pick up fresh groceries. Designed for families and entertaining, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home features a spacious rumpus/bunk area, expansive lawns, and large north and south-facing decks. There’s room for everyone – kids, teens, grandparents, friends, pets, and everything – boats, trailers, tents, caravans, campervans, with parking for more than 10 cars. The coastal hideaway offers lock-up-and-leave ease with an automatic security gate, low-maintenance landscaping, neighbour-grazed paddocks, remote-controlled spa, and acres of mature bush, trails and rocky streams to explore.
Enjoy cosy evenings indoors by the wood burner, or gather around the large outdoor fireplace. Light up the barbecue or order in Uber Eats, then soak in the spa under the stars. And with ultra-fast fibre broadband, you can stream, game, or work remotely without missing a beat. Holiday your way, with this rare blend of privacy and township convenience – the perfect place to escape town while still in town.
