Imagine a life defined by the rhythm of the tides. When the water flows in, your backyard becomes the ultimate playground- launch the jet ski, dive in for a crisp morning swim, or glide across the glass like estuary on your paddleboard right from your boundary. As the tide recedes, the adventure shifts; roll up your trousers, wander out to the flats, and catch fresh snapper for the evening feast.
This is the Mangawhai dream realised.
Perfectly positioned to embrace this water-centric lifestyle is 45 Lincoln Street. Designed by renowned architect Geoff Richards and grounded by concrete block and cedar slat detailing, the home sits confidently on the shoreline, capturing the full sweep of the ever-changing views and golden sunrises over the dunes.
Set on a substantial 1,454sqm (more or less) section, the residence is designed to maximise its environment. The lower level is dedicated to rest and retreat. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, enjoying uninterrupted estuary views, an ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe, and direct outdoor access. Two additional bedrooms mirror each other, each framing that same impressive outlook. A generous rumpus room or second lounge provides a relaxed zone for family and guests, connecting to the internal access garage, laundry, and storage. A family bathroom and separate powder room complete this level.
To truly appreciate the position, head upstairs via the floating staircase or simply step into the lift. The upper level is where the home opens up to its magnificent surroundings. Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas frame the estuary as the undisputed star of the show. The kitchen is designed for entertaining, boasting a long island, double ovens, and a butler’s pantry.
Two distinct living zones and two wood burners make this level adaptable for all seasons, while large stacker sliders extend the footprint onto the deck. Here, the views are at their most striking, creating an effortless setting for meals or gatherings overlooking the water. Shutters fitted throughout the home allow for masterful control of natural airflow.
Outside, the flat, fully fenced section offers safe, easy space for children and pets, with low-maintenance plantings and established palms lending a tropical touch. A separate boat shed provides essential storage for the kayaks, boards, and fishing gear you’ll be using daily.
This is more than a home; it is a property that delivers everything you’d expect from true waterfront living. Privacy, space, and a lifestyle that never stops giving.
