From land to launch

A rare and privileged offering in one of New Zealand’s most coveted coastal regions awaits. This exceptional waterfront estate combines natural beauty, privacy, and direct water access with the invaluable benefit of riparian rights, a private jetty, boat ramp and mooring - features increasingly scarce and highly sought after.

Set on 3.4677 hectares (more or less) of unspoiled native bush and lush subtropical gardens, the property enjoys absolute water frontage and uninterrupted views over the peaceful Waikare Inlet in the renowned Bay of Islands.

The primary residence is expansive and thoughtfully designed, offering five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large entertainer’s kitchen, study, library, and music room. Polished hardwood floors lend timeless character, and the ground floor has been designed with accessibility in mind. While already spacious and full of charm, the home presents an outstanding opportunity for further enhancement - a solid foundation on which to create a truly remarkable coastal retreat.

A separate two-bedroom dwelling provides additional flexibility, ideal for guest accommodation, extended family, or as an income-generating asset.

Your own private jetty is more than a feature - it is your personal access point to the region’s world-class boating, fishing, and marine lifestyle.

This is not simply a property, but a legacy - a place of ultimate waterfront living and enduring value in a setting of rare natural beauty.
