At the foothills of Whakatane’s lush escarpment and moments from the water, this striking 403m² residence offers something seldom found – scale, flexibility and setting, all in one exceptional package.

Upstairs, you’re welcomed by light-filled living where high ceilings and picture windows frame views of both greenery and ocean. The kitchen, with its island bench, anchors the open-plan hub of the home. It flows effortlessly into dining and lounge before spilling outdoors to a balcony made for end-of-day unwinds.

Five bedrooms and three bathrooms deliver both comfort and choice. The master suite offers its own outlook and ensuite retreat, while additional bedrooms are generous and adaptable - ideal for guests, teenagers, or work-from-home. Multiple living spaces mean everyone has room to connect or retreat.

Downstairs extends the possibilities. A self-contained flat offers modern kitchen, bathroom and living, perfect for extended family, visiting friends or additional income. Alongside, a massive workshop and garage space caters to serious hobbyists, car enthusiasts or anyone who’s ever dreamed of a studio-sized workspace at home.

Outdoors, landscaped grounds bring together everything from easy-care planting to raised garden beds for veggies. Entertain on the deck, enjoy the gardens in bloom, or simply stretch out on the flat lawn with views rising up to the native bush. With parking for up to eight vehicles, including up to five internal bays, means boats, trailers and toys all have a home here.

And then, there’s the location. Just minutes from Whakatane’s town centre, waterfront, and golden beaches, yet tucked into a private setting where greenery and birdlife remind you how close you are to nature. It’s an address that delivers lifestyle in every direction, from coastlines and cafes to trails and harbour views.

With its size, flexibility, and setting, this home answers everything on your wish-list. Contact Aaron Standen &/or Celéste de Haas today to visit in person.
