Nestled in the heart of Whenuakite, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare combination of coastal serenity, native bush, and sweeping sea views — all just a short drive from some of the Coromandel’s most iconic beaches. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly hard to secure in Whenuakite, particularly with this level of privacy, outlook, and landholding — and the vendors are motivated to see a result.
Held under an amalgamated title, the land comprises two separate parcels, with the main dwelling situated on a 1.7030ha (more or less) section while a second 8.8260ha (more or less) native bush block lies nearby. Set amongst native plantings and regenerating bush, the two-level home was built in the 2000s and has been recently refurbished and repainted inside and out. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a master with its own private ensuite. A well-sized family bathroom serves the rest of the home. The kitchen, dining, and living area provides a spacious setting for everyday living and entertaining. Step out onto the deck and you’re greeted by panoramic sea views — a spot to relax, entertain, or simply listen to the birdsong that fills the air. Complementing the main house is a separate garden hut that sleeps an additional 3–4 people — ideal for guests, extended family, or use as a peaceful retreat (unconsented).
Surrounding the home is a peaceful native habitat alive with wildlife. New owners can expect to hear the flutter of fantails, native pigeon, quail, kaka, and the haunting call of the morepork by night — even the resident kiwi, often heard nearby (though yet to be seen). Kiwi sightings and calls are commonly reported within close range of the house. This setting offers a genuine sense of escape — a place where families can disconnect, unwind, and create long-term memories in a truly natural environment.
The property also features a garden shed for your tools and storage needs, and a track that leads down through the bush to the beach. Along the way, you’ll pass through a nikau grove and then come to a lagoon — easily accessible at low tide — and unique rock formations that extend nearly 100 metres out to sea. These are local fishing spots where you can catch snapper, kahawai, herring, porae, and even blue cod. Crayfish and kina can be gathered from the rocks or by kayak and small inflatable.
Whenuakite is ideally located — secluded enough to enjoy peace and privacy, yet close to all the Coromandel’s must-visit destinations. Positioned between the east coast beaches and key local hubs, you’re within easy reach of Hot Water Beach, Hahei, Cathedral Cove and Cooks Beach, while Tairua offers boat ramps, dining options, and everyday amenities. The area is well known for its mix of coastline, native bush, and outdoor activities — making it a consistent favourite for both holidaymakers and those looking to secure a long-term lifestyle base.
This is more than just a home — it’s a retreat, a legacy, and a gateway to an extraordinary lifestyle. Held and enjoyed for 25 years, the vendors are now motivated to pass it on for its next chapter. Opportunities like this are rare — and once gone, they’re not easily replaced. Call today and arrange a viewing.
