Some opportunities are truly once in a lifetime - this is one of them.
Imagine stepping out of your home and onto the sand. No road to cross, no path to follow - just concrete steps leading directly from your door to the shoreline at one of the harbour's most sought-after addresses, Manganese Point. And when the mood strikes, launch your boat straight from your own private concrete ramp. This is the kind of waterfront privilege that simply doesn't come up often.
Rebuilt in 2003 with impeccable taste and a timeless palette of natural tones, this exceptional residence spans approximately 320 sq m and was designed with one purpose in mind - to put the ever-changing harbour at the heart of every moment you spend here.
The lower level is as versatile as it is generous. Two double bedrooms - one opening directly outdoors, the other framed by water-facing windows - are serviced by a fully tiled family bathroom. A double internal-access garage, a smaller garage perfect for a dinghy or golf cart, and dedicated boat-shed parking mean everything you need for a life on the water is right at hand. Separated from the master suite above, this level also lends itself beautifully to guest accommodation or a boutique Airbnb-style setup, offering visitors their own sense of privacy and independence. Step outside to the covered rear walkway and discover a tranquil retreat overlooking mature gardens and established trees - a peaceful counterpoint to the drama of the waterfront.
Upstairs, the home truly comes into its own. Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, drawing the harbour views deep into the heart of the home. A striking stone fireplace anchors the living space, while the chef's kitchen is perfectly appointed for those who love to entertain in style. Curved windows add architectural beauty while flooding the interior with natural light and framing breathtaking coastal vistas. The master suite sits on this level too, complete with ensuite and seamless flow onto the deck - wake up to the water, every single day.
Above it all, a mezzanine level currently configured as an office offers an elevated outlook that is nothing short of inspiring — whether you're working, reading, or simply watching the harbour change with the light.
Set on the sheltered waters of Whangārei Harbour with easy access for swimming, paddle-boarding, water-skiing, and fishing, yet only approximately 15 minutes from Whangarei Central - this property delivers the best of both worlds.
Whether you're searching for a luxurious holiday escape or a forever home where the water is always the centrepiece, this is a property that will exceed every expectation.
Don't let this one slip away - waterfront properties of this calibre and rarity are few and far between.
