Set directly on the sands of Sullivan’s Beach in Paihia, this north-facing, architecturally designed waterfront residence represents a truly unique opportunity. Absolute beachfront properties of this calibre are exceptionally rare, particularly those offering shelter, privacy and a seamless connection to the coastal environment. Designed to embrace its coastal setting, the home carries the relaxed atmosphere of a private holiday retreat.
Life here unfolds around the beach and bay. Step from your lawn to launch a kayak or paddleboard, enjoy morning swims and beach walks, or simply enjoy the ever-changing activity on the water. Sheltered and north-facing, Sullivan’s Beach offers a level of tranquillity seldom found in a true beachfront setting.
The home itself is equally compelling. A generous and versatile floor plan has been thoughtfully arranged to capture sea views from multiple levels while maintaining comfort and privacy. Arrival is via the upper level, where a light-filled foyer leads to the primary suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony. A second bedroom also features an ensuite, built-in wardrobe and balcony with the same captivating sea views. An oversized internal double garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage.
The main living level forms the heart of the home, defined by expansive open-plan living and dining areas, a well-appointed kitchen with granite island bench, and an adjacent laundry or scullery. Covered outdoor living with a fireplace extends the interior seamlessly, creating an all-season space that functions as a second lounge.
Outdoor areas have been carefully designed to suit different conditions and times of day, with decks and covered spaces oriented for both sun and shelter.
The lower level adds further flexibility, offering a guest lounge with integrated Murphy beds, an additional bedroom, an office, bathroom, and generous storage for your water toys. A covered patio with outdoor shower and fish-filleting bench sits just steps from the beach.
Located in the heart of the Bay of Islands, this area is renowned for its natural beauty, sheltered waterways and temperate year-round climate. Mild winters and warm summers encourage an outdoor lifestyle across all seasons, with swimming, boating, fishing and coastal exploration forming part of everyday life. Easily accessible yet distinctly relaxed, the Bay of Islands continues to attract both New Zealand and international buyers seeking a refined coastal environment with enduring appeal.
This is a rare and enduring coastal holding in one of the Bay of Islands’ most tightly held beachfront locations - a property of lasting quality, privacy and position, offered only once in a generation.
