The Kauri Kottage, once the Lighthouse Keeper's residence, shares its lineage with the Kaipara North Head Lighthouse. The Lighthouse itself is a registered Heritage New Zealand place category 2. Both were crafted from the same local Kauri timer and likely designed by New Zealand's first Colonial Architect, William Henry Clayton. Following a meticulous restoration, this 100m2 villa now blends century-old integrity with modern luxury.
This iconic property's story has captured national attention, championed by senior journalists from the NZ Herald, One Roof, Stuff Digital, and the Kaipara Lifestyler.
Leveraging its immense charm, the Kottage is currently a successful premium short-term accommodation. To ensure its story remains intact and the income stream stays uninterrupted, The Kauri Kottage is being sold fully furnished. Whether you choose to keep it as a premium rental or move in yourself, there is nothing left to do. Simply bring your bags and step into this curated lifestyle.
The elegant three-bedroom layout features a custom leadlight hall, original fireplaces, and a lounge opening onto sun-soaked decks. Unique details inbound, including a kitchen splashback crafted from a 1956 newspaper.
Set on 1120m2, the grounds feature fruit trees, vegetable beds, and high-access Colorsteel sheds. These expansive spaces are purpose-built to house your boats, campervans, tractors, or quadbikes—providing all the room you need to store your gear and live the ultimate Pouto lifestyle.
Located just 200m from the new Pouto Wharf and the rugged beauty of Ripiro Beach, the "Pouto magic" is undeniable.
A Free Weekend stay is offered for the first serious buyer to experience the property and Pouto firsthand.
