Turn into the drive and the world will melt away behind you. This place is truly something special. The home, originally built in 1985, has been carefully redesigned to let the light stream in and to remove the barriers between the building, trees and amazing 180-degree sea views.
This home is all about the finer details…a cathedral ceiling of exposed timber beams and sarking in locally milled Kauri and Totara. Large kitchen and open plan living flowing out to the wrap around decks, encouraging you to chase the sun throughout the day.
Over 5 hectares, this tranquil and very private property is populated with mature Karaka, Kauri, Kowhai, Tawa, Totara, Puriri and Pohutukawa, some over 200 years old in the original parts of the property. Matai, Rimu and Miro have been planted in areas of re-generating bush. Native trees and birds to be enjoyed for decades to come.
The home's initial construction and renovation have been completed to a high standard and tested over 23 years of continuous ownership, surviving storms and tropical cyclones unscathed. This includes well-constructed retaining walls and the re-built 420-metre-long cambered and sealed drive for a complete peace of mind.
The property is situated on the world class Tutukaka coastline and enjoys close access to 4 very different beaches. Less than 3 hours from Central Auckland and 40 minutes from Whangarei. With internal garaging and designated parking spaces for the boat, guests and extras, it is ready to welcome you.
The owners will always cherish their time here, but plans are in motion and the time to say farewell has come.
