Some properties are simply owned - others become part of a legacy. Positioned above the Mangawhai Estuary on an exceptional 4.62-hectare waterfront holding, this elevated estate delivers rare privacy, expansive space, and a deep sense of calm. With sweeping harbour views and a peaceful natural setting, the property offers an enduring coastal environment in which to create something truly special.
Privately gated, the residence enjoys uninterrupted estuary views and a commanding sense of presence. The predominantly flat landholding opens up a world of possibility - from a generational family estate to a refined lifestyle sanctuary or future development opportunity, subject to council approval. The scale and layout also create the rare opportunity for private recreational spaces, including the potential for your own putting green or practice fairway, blending leisure, lifestyle and luxury.
Constructed in concrete and steel, the 358 sq m home has been designed for longevity and effortless living. Lawson cypress ceilings, tinted glazing and underfloor heating create warmth and comfort, while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
The upper level is dedicated to refined living, where open-plan spaces flow to covered outdoor terraces framing the changing light across the harbour. The designer kitchen anchors the home, while the living area is centred around a built-in fireplace for year-round comfort. The master suite enjoys expansive estuary views, a beautifully appointed ensuite, and private access to a glass-enclosed spa room offering complete privacy and serenity.
The middle level supports flexible living with two ensuite bedrooms, a rumpus room and guest powder room - ideal for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. Dual garaging, including a basement garage, provides ample space for vehicles, storage and recreational equipment.
Separate from the main residence, a high-stud workshop adds further versatility, complete with an adjoining semi self-contained area suited to guest accommodation, a caretaker, or creative studio.
The land itself is one of the property’s greatest assets - expansive, flat, elevated and framed by mature shelter belts that create privacy and a strong sense of arrival. Established accessways, open lawns and existing infrastructure support future landscaping or recreational additions without compromising the panoramic outlook. An artist’s impression has even been created to showcase the exciting potential for a private “Pitch & Putt” style golf experience across the grounds. Direct waterfront access adds another layer of lifestyle appeal, perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding or exploring the estuary.
Bordering the Mangawhai Golf Course and within easy reach of Tara Iti Golf Club and Te Arai Links, the property offers a rare fusion of waterfront living and world-class golfing amenity. Mangawhai village, surf beach, cafés and markets are all nearby, enhancing the lifestyle on offer.
Coastal estates of this calibre are exceptionally rare. More than simply a home, this is a long-term legacy asset - a private retreat where generations can gather, unwind and create lasting memories for years to come.
