The kids have grown up and moved out. Mostly. Because with a home like this, they have a habit of coming back.

Perched above Sandspit with sweeping views across Kawau Bay to Kawau Island and Great Barrier, 5 Kotare Place was built four decades ago with family in mind - and it has delivered on that ever since.

Upstairs, the main residence is generous and well thought out. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living areas and a large kitchen with walk-in scullery. The kind of space that works perfectly for two, but when the family arrives for Sunday lunch the space feels entirely natural. Step outside and the deck runs the full length of the house, looking out to the incredible view.

Downstairs is where the flexibility lives. Two more bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate lounge and private outdoor entertaining area. Open it up when the grandkids arrive, lock it up when they leave.

The glass lift connects both levels - and yes, even the lift has a view.

Outside, 7,597m² of north-facing land gives you room to breathe and then some. Get some chickens, a goat, build a barn for whatever project you have on the go, space for the grandkids to run. Your boat can sit at the marina just down the hill and on a clear day you can keep an eye on it from the house.

Immaculately maintained across three decades, this is a home that has suited every stage of family life and given its owners everything they asked of it. Now it is ready to do the same for yours.
