Rare. Elevated. Unforgettable. Sitting at the top of a hill in the sought-after Bethells Beach, Te Henga, this is the kind of property people wait years to find.
Sweeping rural vistas, the stunning Te Henga wetland, and sea views all framed by rolling hills make every glance out the window a reminder of just how extraordinary this position truly is.
Set on an acre of pristine land, a mixture of grazing and bush, previously home to livestock and horses, this Californian bungalow offers incredible character and warmth. Positioned to maximise sun and sweeping views across Bethells, the wetlands shift and change with every season, offering a living landscape that almost never looks the same twice.
Built with heart, built with quality and built with only the finest Rimu and Kauri. Relocated from Remuera in 2003, this home has been built to last, has stood the test of time and is in a position like no other. Sun streams through beautiful French doors and picture windows, while the ambient fireplace keeps the atmosphere cosy through the winter months. Views across the land, room for loved ones and animals to roam freely, and a feeling from the moment you arrive that is nothing other than home. By the fire or out on the deck, this is your place to exhale while the family makes memories around you.
Step outside to a covered verandah made for slow mornings and quiet afternoons, shaded from the sun and open to the views. Outdoors the magic continues. The sleepout, crafted from timber repurposed from film productions, is a practical multipurpose space with its own distinct character, cosiness, and views.
Those who know Bethells will appreciate just how rare this is. Ample off-street parking and room to build a barn, garage, or workshop, (subject to Council approval).
Zoned for Waitakere Primary, Waitakere College, and Massey High, with the school bus routes at the door . Swanson Village and the train station are just 15 minutes away, making the CBD far more accessible than the address might suggest.
The Bethells lifestyle is genuinely unlike anything else, offering a sense of belonging that takes hold quickly and never really lets go.
Bethells has a community like no other on the West Coast. Tight-knit, creative, and genuinely special. This property sits at the gateway to all of it, the first glimpse of the sea, the first sense of arrival for those lucky enough to call it home and those who make the journey out to experience Bethells/Te Henga.
Not an auction, the owner has decided to give everyone a chance at owning this special property and after 26 years, this iconic home is finally available for the taking.
