A truly one-off coastal sale

The gifts of nature take centre stage at this private waterfront estate in Hihi. The property has its own rhythm and visual language.

Breath-taking ocean views, tranquil native bush and unique architecture has set the scene for an incredible maritime lifestyle. Along with the 303sqm main dwelling, there is private access to a resident's own boat ramp and boat-shed for the owners 6,5 m amphibious boat (in the sale included), an artist's studio, plus a 7-bay shed hosting a backhoe-loader, 3-way-tip-truck, a wood workshop and other machinery (included in the sale).

Welcome to Tauranganui, Landing Place Of The Big Canoe, where a picturesque driveway leads to a home that's perched on top of the world. Cladded from Hinuera bricks and cloaked in views that have wowed the owner for nearly 30 years - seeing is believing.

This tightly-held property has direct access to the Pacific ocean below. For the owners, it will be an emotional farewell to their aquatic playground. Imagine launching a boat from your own ramp and hitting bite-time before most people even wake. Or watching orca in the 'backyard', painting in the art studio, listening to Kiwi at night, or being hypnotised by an inbuilt aquarium as tiny fish species dance. How do you place a value on such a supreme lifestyle?

Astute buyers will respect the large four-bedroom home. It's very enchanting and great to see sustainable and sound workmanship throughout. Even the pathways and paved courtyards are cut from Hinuera stone to create a fluid design

Hundertwasser's right-hand man gave creative input into the interior design and the kitchen is a true talking point. A Free-Form-Center and a geometrical octagon creates a vibe and a story of its own. Upstairs, the three bedrooms have balcony access and the main bathroom has a spa bath. On the ground level is an expansive garage, open plan living and kitchen, plus a second bathroom. Decadent outdoor areas allow you to chase sunshine or shelter to suit.
