35 acres of coastal living, with proven income!
Kokomea means "sunset glow" in Te Reo Māori, a fitting name for this 35-acre coastal haven on the foothills of Mount Karioi, where the sun lingers until the very last light and the sunsets are truly unforgettable.
This rare offering delivers more than an architecturally designed, off-grid home with epic ocean views. It comes with a proven income stream via three renowned tiny home escapes: The Treehouse, The Love Bus, and The Love Nest.
The property also features a cedar-barrel, wood-fired sauna overlooking the bush and ocean, its own waterfall and small swimming hole, bushwalking trails, and six hectares of pine forest generating carbon credits, with room to develop further accommodation offerings.
World-class surf breaks, exceptional fishing, day hikes up Mt Karioi, and stunning beaches are all just moments from your new home and lifestyle income.

Kokomea – The Main Home
Designed by Red Architecture and woven into its natural surroundings, this off-grid, cedar-clad home offers every creature comfort alongside sweeping coastal views from the open-plan living areas and adjoining covered deck with outdoor Corten fireplace. Enjoy sun all day and unforgettable sunsets from the magnesium in-ground pool and all-season outdoor bath.
American Oak flooring and pine tongue-and-groove wall linings bring warmth and texture that echo the natural surroundings. The well-appointed kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home, flowing naturally into a second living area with a wood burner - perfect for cosy winter evenings. A separate office completes the living space
Positioned away from the living areas for privacy, all four bedrooms open onto the wraparound deck. The master suite includes its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while a family bathroom and separate laundry complete the home. Outside, established gardens, a flourishing vege garden, and grape, apple, peach, feijoa, lemon, grapefruit, lime, and avocado trees are dotted throughout the property, alongside ample parking on the concrete driveway, including its own skate ramp for the groms.
Set apart from the accommodation offerings for privacy, the home is fully self-sufficient with solar power, solar hot water backed up by a wetback fire, a septic system, and rainwater tank supply, just a short walk from the wood-fired barrel sauna.

The Accommodation Offerings:
The dream was to create three romantic, off-grid healing escapes: a treehouse, a converted bus, and a cosy cottage in the woods. Set among nature, these highly sought-after tiny homes invite guests to unplug, slow down, and reconnect, with themselves, with nature, and with someone they love.
All three tiny homes are fully consented and each independently equipped with its own solar power, septic system, and stream-fed water supply. Each has its own bathroom, cooking facilities, cosy living space, and private outdoor area.
The Treehouse. Set among the pines, this iconic escape offers wide-ranging ocean views and every creature comfort, including a cosy loft bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living area, plus an outdoor bath and dining space with epic views.
The Love Bus. Nestled in a field high on the property near a stream, just below the pine forest, with expansive views across rolling pasture to the coast and ocean beyond. An outdoor fireplace and bath make it perfect for year-round relaxation.
The Love Nest Cottage. Looking out over native forest with glimpses of the coast, surrounded by pine and native trees and alive with birdsong. More than a place to stay, it's an experience for dreamers, nature-lovers, and romantics at heart, with an outdoor bath set amongst nothing but nature.
Each tiny home has easy access to the wood-fired sauna and the swimming hole/waterfall, offering guests privacy and tranquillity in equal measure. The Treehouse and The Love Bus are among the most wishlisted Airbnbs in New Zealand, with the Treehouse previously ranking #1 and The Love Bus placed in the Top 10.
With an average occupancy rate of 75% over the last 12 months, the Treehouse and Love Bus have also earned national recognition - the Treehouse featured in an international Airbnb advert in 2021, and The Love Bus was awarded 'Best Unique Stay' by Airbnb in 2023.
