There is endless scope for creating your own paradise at this sublimely secluded property with commanding views over Whakanewha Regional Park, Half Moon Bay and across the water to the mainland.

A three-bedroom home, separate visitor chalet and lovely gardens are established on the substantial regenerating bush block of 7.5 ha (18.5 acres, more or less).

The main house enjoys mesmerising bush and gulf vistas from its open-plan living area and two of its bedrooms, with the main bedrooms magnificent picture window providing a showcase for the breathtaking views of forest and sea.

Its full refurbishment provides all the creature comforts required of a modern home, including a heat pump, built-in laundry and contemporary stacking doors to the gorgeous deck.

Outside there is unlimited room to entertain and play on the huge back deck, lawns and surrounding flat areas, perfect for trampolines and kids activities.

You will also discover a spa pool with a sea view, raised vege beds, a chook house and even a pumpkin patch.

With under-house storage, easy driveway access and plenty of parking for cars and boats, there's also space to extend the house and build a swimming pool, if desired.

The one-bedroom chalet, set back from the main home, has a pretty bathroom featuring river stones, two decks, a parking bay and its own private lawn with exquisite sea views.

The land unit, Landform 6, allows for visitor accommodation for up to 10 people, so there's room for further development.

Exploring the rest of the acreage, a curved boardwalk leads to a pretty glade displaying all the bones of a potential glamping site, complete with foundations for a huge Lotus Belle tent.

There's also a citrus and feijoa orchard, a substantial walking/mountain bike track, and a stream descending from the area of the iconic freshwater cascades.

With the regional park and beach on your doorstep, this incredible acreage has the advantage of feeling like it's in the middle of nowhere but it's just minutes from amenities, wineries and Onetangi beach.
