Set on 3.7660ha (more or less) on the white sandy shores of Ngahau Bay, overlooking the pristine Mimiwhangata coastline, this waterfront property offers a chance to secure one of Northland’s most tightly held coastal locations. Opportunities of this calibre seldom reach the market, with many properties in the area passed down through generations.
Positioned to take in sweeping sea views while sitting comfortably back from the water’s edge, the home embraces a relaxed, retreat-style feel. Tucked into the natural shelter of a gentle hillside, it feels protected and secure even during the wildest of coastal weather. Its simple layout places a bedroom at each end for privacy, with the kitchen and lounge forming the warm heart of the home. Timber detailing, a wood-burning fire and generous windows create a welcoming atmosphere that feels equally suited to a permanent residence or a weekend escape.
Every room enjoys a backdrop of ocean and bush, so whether you are cooking, reading by the fire or sitting out with morning coffee, the view is never far from sight.
The surrounding land has been thoughtfully shaped to offer a blank canvas for future plans. Significant landscaping and earthworks include paddock extensions and drainage work, plus power and caravan outlets for visitors or outdoor events. Native plantings of manuka, kanuka, pohutukawa and flaxes around the pond enhance the natural setting while adding long-term value.
Two practical sheds provide excellent storage and bring scope for conversion into extra accommodation – an appealing option for extended family, guests or even a hobby space. Building plans to expand the main dwelling are available on request.
Living here means waking to the sound of the sea, spending days on the water kayaking or swimming, and knowing that the essentials are a short drive away at the Oakura Store and Helena Bay Cafe. Whether you’re seeking a remote coastal hideaway, a lifestyle block with future potential or a property to hold for generations, this Ngahau Bay holding delivers a rare blend of position, views and opportunity.
