Designed by architect Andrew Lister, this Te Henga/Bethells Beach home reimagines the elegance of mid-century modern Palm Springs design through a distinctly New Zealand lens. Within an easy walk of the beach and set on a generous flat 876m² section, (more or less), the residence blends contemporary comfort with timeless style and the rugged natural beauty of its surroundings.

Hidden behind a macrocarpa wall, the house opens onto a private oasis of light and calm. Natural light floods the home through floor-to-ceiling windows, framing tranquil bush views, while polished concrete aggregate floors retain the day's warmth adding both comfort and sophistication to the open-plan interior, which in turn flows effortlessly to a sun-soaked courtyard - the perfect setting for relaxed entertaining.

Inspired by the idea of an encampment, the design creates a gentle rhythm linking its spaces. The main house features two bedrooms with seamless indoor-outdoor living, leading across the grass to a separate satellite space, ideal as an office, creative studio, third bedroom, or guest retreat.

This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Wake to the vibrant birdsong, stroll for coffee and ice cream at the local caravan café, or join the welcoming community for Thursday dinners and live music. Pop your children on the local school bus at the end of the street, unwind with a picnic on the beach, take a moonlit walk over the dunes to the lake, or light a fire in the cast concrete fireplace and watch in comfort as lightning dances across the horizon.

All of this beauty lies just a picturesque 40-minute drive from the city - close enough to escape to every weekend or to live in permanently with an easy commute into town.

8 Erangi Place is an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure a true retreat where modern architecture meets wild coastal freedom.
