Turning the tide

There are countless ways to immerse yourself in the marine delights and striking views at this impressive coastal residence with guest accommodation. Discreetly situated on a headland at Tawharanui where the tranquil shores link out to Kawau Bay and the Hauraki Gulf, this beautiful 1.1 hectare lifestyle property shares the spoils of the entire peninsula and its landscaped excellence; including access to a concrete jetty and boat ramp and 3 kilometres of formed native bush walks sculpted from the land. Regarded as the region's premium lifestyle destination, the property is situated in desirable ‘Bishops Hill' and has private gated access. The residence is generously designed for lodge style living to host family and guests en-masse, and anchored to take advantage of the serene water views that extend to Sandspit Yacht Club and International Marina. Inside, a relaxed coastal ambience is delivered with neutral white finishes, architectural joinery, natural light and expansive living with entertaining rooms that each enjoy fireside ambience and consider both casual and intimate occasions. Featured throughout the home are gallery walls for collected artworks and objects of desire; a design requisite for the owner who also leaned into natural finishes with oak flooring, tumbled limestone tiles, and custom timber details. The floor area totals over 440sqm and includes five bedrooms, three living rooms, three bathrooms, powder room, country sized coat room and laundry, as well as a covered outdoor loggia with open fire. Outside, the external palette of dark stained cedar weatherboard recesses into the landscape, as does the large boatshed with independent guest accommodation. Opening out to the sculpted site with easy care lawn and grounds there is ample room for a swimming pool and Heli guests, the outdoor spaces provide a truly private oasis. Tawharanui, Matakana and Omaha are known for their safe, clear waters for swimming, fishing, sailing, surfing and paddling, as well as cycling and walking trails, golf, vineyards, arts and boutique markets. Situated 8 kilometres from vibrant Matakana Village and an efficient 50 minutes north of Auckland CBD via the new Matakana Link Road. Call Kellie now for a viewing appointment.
