Nestled within the prestigious Tapuae Estate on New Zealand's spectacular west coast, this architecturally designed passive home offers a rare sense of retreat – where contemporary design meets the raw beauty of nature. Overlooking native bush and the vast Tasman Sea, it delivers privacy, serenity, and breathtaking outlooks from every room.
Cleverly positioned on its sloping site to capture all-day sun while sheltered from prevailing winds, the home feels both grounded in its landscape and beautifully refined. Bespoke industrial accents are softened by natural materials, creating a striking yet welcoming interior that sits effortlessly within its surroundings.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen flows seamlessly through the dining area and out to expansive outdoor living, perfectly placed for long evenings watching the ever-changing light across the ocean. A dramatic distressed metal feature divides the main lounge, while a second living space – the 'whiskey and piano room' – offers a more intimate setting to relax as the horizon stretches endlessly before you.
The master suite is a private sanctuary, with panoramic picture windows framing the coastal landscape. A walk-through robe leads to an opulent ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, and striking floor to ceiling tiles.
Designed as a passive home, the residence ensures year-round comfort with superior insulation, PVC thermally broken joinery, and an advanced air filtration system – delivering exceptional efficiency, sustainability, and wellbeing.
Life within Tapuae Estate offers a unique balance of security, nature, and lifestyle. Behind the gated entrance, residents enjoy tennis courts, a community pavilion, and miles of walking tracks through native landscape. There is also private beach access, along with shared ownership of the surrounding working farm – allowing you to experience the charm of rural New Zealand without the upkeep. The vibrant seaside village of Oakura is just five minutes south, while the city of New Plymouth lies ten minutes to the north.
A residence of this calibre, offering such a rare blend of architectural design, privacy, and coastal lifestyle, is seldom available. Contact us today to arrange your private viewing.
