Set across 1.03 hectares within the exclusive gated estate of The Sanctuary, Mangawhai, this architecturally designed retreat brings together space, privacy and a remarkable connection to nature. Step inside and you’re welcomed by soaring ceilings, wide oak flooring and light-filled living spaces that open to covered outdoor entertaining areas, where the surrounding native bush becomes part of everyday life.

The kitchen is a natural gathering point, with a stone waterfall island, built-in wine fridge, dedicated coffee station and a window framing the forest beyond. The main residence offers approximately 290 sq m of beautifully considered living, including a master suite, two additional bedrooms, a media room and a handy office nook. Covered outdoor dining areas with overhead heaters make entertaining a pleasure throughout the seasons.

Adding another dimension is the separate, self-contained 117 sq m guest residence, complete with two bedrooms, a bathroom, single garage and private deck. Whether accommodating extended family, welcoming guests or creating space to retreat, the possibilities are appealing. Triple garaging completes the picture.

Beyond your gates, The Sanctuary offers a lifestyle few can replicate, with 70 hectares of native forest reserve, lakes, walking tracks, tennis courts and olive groves. And when the coast calls, Mangawhai’s beautiful beaches, cafés and championship golf course are just minutes away.
