Sites like this are what make Lang Cove so highly regarded. Elevated above the beach on an impressive 889sqm section, this is a substantial coastal site with the space, position and outlook to create something truly special.
The current owners set out to create their own ultimate beach retreat, investing considerable time and thought into the design and planning process before a change in circumstances altered their plans. Their work provides the next owner with a valuable head start - while still leaving the freedom to take the property in an entirely different direction.
The current house plans have been approved by the Lang Cove Residents Association, with Resource Consent also granted for an architecturally designed residence of approximately 589sqm across three levels. The proposed home includes four generous bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, expansive open-plan living and an internal triple-car garage, together with a car elevator providing additional parking. The proposed layout takes full advantage of the elevated position, with sweeping views down the sand and along the beach.
Importantly, you are not tied to the existing design. The plans and consents provide an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to move ahead with a substantial coastal residence, but there is also the opportunity to revisit the design and create a home that reflects your own vision, lifestyle and priorities. For someone with a clear idea of their perfect beach escape, this is a genuine blank canvas in an established and highly regarded setting.
Lang Cove sits at the more exclusive end of the beach, with architecturally designed homes and Residents Association oversight helping to maintain the quality and character of the neighbourhood, thus protecting your investment. Walkways provide easy access through the reserve to the beach without needing to cross a road - particularly appealing for families with young children.
And then there is the lifestyle. Langs offers the convenience of launching a boat directly from the sand into the sheltered bay, while the beach itself is there for swimming, surfing, fishing, paddleboarding or simply walking along the water's edge. The pōhutukawa-lined coastline and ever-changing views provide the backdrop to everyday life.
Waipu Cove and Mangawhai Heads are within easy reach for golf, dining and cafés, but the real attraction is having a place of your own in a setting where the beach becomes part of your everyday life.
For those looking for an exceptional coastal site with substantial design and consenting work already undertaken - but without being confined by someone else's vision - this is an opportunity to create something very special.
