Nestled within mature native bush and stretching gracefully to the esplanade reserve and ocean’s edge, this exceptional property captures the essence of New Zealand’s natural beauty. Here, the forest meets the sea, creating a sanctuary for those who seek tranquillity, privacy, and a lifestyle deeply connected to the land and coast.
Architecturally designed in the 1970s, this three-storey board-and-batten pole home is a true original - a statement of craftsmanship and character that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Designed to celebrate the landscape, its open-plan living spaces frame spectacular ocean vistas while inviting a sense of warmth and togetherness. For over half a century, this home has been a cherished family retreat - a place where memories were made, laughter echoed through the trees, and the ocean provided a constant, calming rhythm.
The main residence unfolds over three levels. On the lower floor, a semi self-contained flat with its own private entrance and deck offers versatility - ideal for extended family, guests, or an income opportunity. The middle level is designed for relaxed coastal living, with generous decks flowing effortlessly from the living areas into the surrounding native canopy. It’s the perfect space to entertain or unwind, with the sound of birdsong by day and waves rolling in from the distant shore by night.
Upstairs, a spacious open-plan loft currently accommodates up to nine people, offering scope for family gatherings, creative retreats, or guest accommodation.
Approximately two-thirds of the property is protected by an open space covenant, preserving its native flora and fauna and ensuring this natural haven remains untouched for generations to come. The remaining uncovenanted land provides exciting scope for future development - whether you envision additional dwellings, a subdivision, or the creation of your dream home in this extraordinary setting.
For nature lovers and explorers alike, this is a rare slice of paradise. Meandering bush tracks weave through the property, leading to the esplanade reserve, where you’ll discover unique “pancake rock” formations and dramatic coastal views across the Pacific. From this idyllic vantage point, the coastal walkway leads left towards Waipu Cove for a relaxed morning coffee, or right to the secluded serenity of Ding Bay.
The location offers endless ways to embrace the outdoors - whether swimming, surfing, fishing, or simply basking in the sun along the pristine white sands of Langs Beach and Waipu Cove. Golf enthusiasts are also well catered for, with several world-class courses nearby.
This remarkable waterfront sanctuary offers the best of both worlds — the serenity of native bush, the allure of the ocean, and the potential to create something truly exceptional. A rare opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand’s natural beauty, where lifestyle and investment meet in perfect harmony.
