Tawharanui’s Ultimate Coastal Legacy

Deadline sale: Closes on Thursday 25 June 2026 at 4:00PM (unless sold prior)

Set within the exclusive Bishops Hill enclave, arguably one of the most tightly held and coveted coastal landholdings in the region, this extraordinary estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure one of the true jewels of the Tawharanui Peninsula, all within approximately an hour of central Auckland.

Occupying a sun-drenched position with sweeping views across the ever-changing inlet and surrounding native landscape, the property spans approximately 74 hectares in total, offering an exceptional sense of scale, privacy and permanence. The dramatic headland position is of particular significance, commanding rare 360-degree panoramic views across the surrounding coastline, native bush and open sea, a vantage point seldom able to be replicated or secured. This is more than a home, it is a legacy estate, a private sanctuary where architecture, landscape and lifestyle exist in complete harmony.

Existing accommodation by acclaimed architect Jeff Fearon of Fearon Hay Architects has been carefully conceived as a refined modern interpretation of rural dockside cabins and understated coastal pavilions. Crafted from cedar, glass, steel and natural materials, the architecture feels quietly luxurious, organic and deeply connected to its surroundings.

A series of beautifully composed structures unfold across the landscape. Two separate cedar-clad pods form the heart of the accommodation, one dedicated to relaxed living, dining and kitchen spaces, the other offering two bedrooms and bathroom accommodation. Originally designed as a minor dwelling to accompany a future main residence, the pavilions already provide an extraordinary retreat to enjoy immediately while envisioning the estate’s next chapter.

The primary building platform sits poised for the creation of a future architectural masterpiece, with plans available for a substantial Fearon Hay designed family residence, allowing the incoming owner to continue and elevate an already remarkable vision.

Complementing the accommodation is a spectacular stone-clad pool pavilion and entertaining area, privately positioned within the landscape and accompanied by a discreetly hidden laundry pavilion nestled into the bush.

Further into the native forest, two elevated canvas safari tents redefine luxury glamping. Perched above the inlet and immersed within the landscape, these beautifully curated retreats capture uninterrupted views of shifting tides, filtered light and untouched natural beauty, offering a sense of escape rarely found anywhere in New Zealand.

Adding further to the exceptional lifestyle offering is access to a private boat ramp and boatshed nearby, creating effortless connection to the water and the surrounding coastline.

The wider estate itself is nothing short of magical. Native walking trails weave through protected bushland where kiwi roam freely at night, while an adventure playground complete with climbing ropes, flying fox and recreation spaces creates an environment equally suited to family gatherings, wellness retreats or generational living.

As custodian of this remarkable holding, ownership extends beyond the immediate residence into the wider Bishops Hill landscape itself, including additional building platforms offering future potential for further guest accommodation or additional dwellings.

Private, visionary and utterly irreplaceable, this is one of the most significant coastal offerings to come to the market in recent years. A rare opportunity to secure a property of extraordinary beauty, scale and legacy, in one of New Zealand’s most exclusive coastal settings.
