The light hits first as the sun rises over Omaha Bay and Whangateau Harbour, you know you are home...
Soft, golden, and familiar - stretching across the white sand of Omaha Beach and gliding across Whangateau Harbour before spilling into your kitchen, where the coffee’s already brewing.
The air smells of salt and sun-warmed wood. You open the doors, and the morning hums - cicadas, waves, and the call of tūī echoing through the trees. It’s peaceful here. A kind of peace that feels earned.
This is 596 Leigh Road - a home that doesn’t shout for attention; it simply invites you in.
Thoughtfully renovated kitchen and lounge, the home balances comfort and character with effortless ease. The new kitchen anchors the open living space, where skylights frame the sky and double-glazed windows pull the horizon in close.
The lounge catches the afternoon light, a place to slow down, to watch storms roll across the bay, or to curl up with a book as the fire hums quietly in the background.
Outside, the deck opens to panoramic views of ocean and bush, a stage for family dinners, sunrise yoga, and quiet evenings under a thousand stars.
Below, a separate studio apartment offers space for guests, grown kids, or income, a place that could be anything you want it to be.
A Landscape to Fall in Love With:
The land unfolds gently beneath the pōhutukawa — terraced walkways through native bush, secret corners where you can sit, think, and watch the light shift through the trees.
From nearly every angle, the view tells a story: Omaha Bay, Tāwharanui, the Coromandel far beyond.
By day, it’s birdsong and sea breeze. By night, the kind of stars you forget exist until you see them again.
Here, life moves slower - in the best way.
You’re only minutes from everything, yet it feels a world away.
