Tucked along the serene shores of Kaipara Harbour, this remarkable 80.6614ha (approx.) coastal estate offers privacy, waterfront access, and exceptional potential-held by the same family for over 130 years. The land carries a rich history: the original homestead stood by the water over a century ago, and in the 1930s the current four-bedroom kauri home was built further inland. A major, fully consented modern extension has since added a sun-filled designer kitchen, seamless open-plan living, and a Metro Mega fireplace that warms the home and doubles as a slow-cooking firebox. A generous deck captures panoramic harbour views, while a second lounge with a classic Kent log fire offers an extra cosy retreat.
