Rare coastal position within exclusive Tern Point

Set within the exclusive, gated Tern Point Estate, this extraordinary Mangawhai residence occupies one of the most dramatic coastal positions in the region. With sweeping, close-up views across wind-formed sand dunes, the sandspit, estuary and out to the open ocean-the outlook is nothing short of breathtaking.

The Tern Point Estate claims approximately 127 hectares and offers over a kilometre of estuary frontage, around 8.5 kilometres of a white sandy beach, shared water-sports facilities and exceptional privacy. The estate borders the Tara Iti Golf Course and sits alongside a Department of Conservation wildlife reserve, home to the endangered Fairy Tern.

The property comprises a 1.6ha (more or less) house site including reserve land, complemented by a 1.3 ha (more or less) site in the Tern Point communal farm. The land is surrounded by a significant area of conservation, ensuring the outlook can never be built out.

There is an immediate sense of calm and connection to nature here, a rare setting where the landscape feels both bold and peaceful. By day, the ever-changing dunes and coast provide a mesmerising backdrop, it is a true sanctuary.

The north-facing home is thoughtfully designed for relaxed, resort-style living. On the upper level, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the remarkable outlook from the open-plan living and dining areas and the entertainer’s kitchen and scullery. Expansive covered decks on three sides provide sheltered outdoor living in all conditions, allowing you to follow the sun and enjoy the environment year-round.

The layout offers excellent flexibility across three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The upper level features the master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, alongside an office or fourth bedroom. Downstairs, two generous bedrooms with ensuites open directly to the swimming pool and thatched cabana, accompanied by a second living room with kitchenette which is ideal for guests, extended family, or independent living.

The private Tern Point boat ramp, for exclusive use of residents, is located just a few hundred metres away. A communal boat shed at the ramp provides secure storage for kayaks, paddle boards and windsurfers, with key access for all residents.

A striking, full-sized Totara totem pole, carved by a local Mangawhai artist and representing native coastal birdlife, is included in the sale. Pohutukawa line both sides of the driveway, creating a spectacular welcome of crimson red when in full bloom around Christmas time.

Despite this home’s remarkable sense of seclusion, Mangawhai Village is just five minutes away, offering easy access to cafes, Saturday markets, boutique shops and the surf beach.

A rare coastal sanctuary combining privacy and security in one of Mangawhai’s most extraordinary natural settings, this is a property that simply cannot be replicated.

This beautifully positioned home is part of a newly proposed three-lot boutique development which already has resource consent, offering a rare opportunity to secure not only a quality residence, but also two additional sections. Buy one or all three. Opportunities like this in the tightly held Tern Point Estate are rare.
