554 Boat Harbour Road, Whenuakite, Thames-Coromandel

A timeless treasure in Whenuakite

Nestled in the heart of Whenuakite, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare combination of coastal serenity, native bush, and sweeping sea views — all just a short drive from some of the Coromandel's most iconic beaches.

Held under an amalgamated title, the land comprises two separate parcels, with the main dwelling situated on a 1.7030ha (more or less) section while a second 8.8260ha (more or less) native bush block lies nearby. Set amongst native plantings and regenerating bush, the two-level home was built in the 2000s and has been recently refurbished and repainted inside and out. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, including a master with its own private ensuite. A well-sized family bathroom serves the rest of the home. The kitchen, dining, and living area provides a spacious setting for everyday living and entertaining. Step out onto the deck and you're greeted by panoramic sea views — a spot to relax, entertain, or simply listen to the birdsong that fills the air. Complementing the main house is a separate garden hut that sleeps an additional 3-4 people — ideal for guests, extended family, or use as a peaceful retreat (unconsented).

Surrounding the home is a peaceful native habitat alive with wildlife. New owners can expect to hear the flutter of fantails, native pigeon, quail, kaka, and the haunting call of the morepork by night — even the resident kiwi, often heard nearby (though yet to be seen). Kiwi sightings and calls are commonly reported within close range of the house.

The property also features a garden shed for your tools and storage needs, and a track that leads down through the bush to the beach. Along the way, you'll pass through a nikau grove and then come to a lagoon — easily accessible at low tide — and unique rock formations that extend nearly 100 metres out to sea. These are local fishing spots where you can catch snapper, kahawai, herring, porae, and even blue cod. Crayfish and kina can be gathered from the rocks or by kayak and small inflatable.

Whenuakite is ideally located — secluded enough to enjoy peace and privacy, yet close to all the Coromandel's must-visit destinations. Whether you're heading to Hot Water Beach, Hahei, or Cathedral Cove, everything is within easy reach.

This is more than just a home — it's a retreat, a legacy, and a gateway to an extraordinary lifestyle. After 25 cherished years, the current owners are ready to pass it on to someone who will love it as they have. Call today and arrange a viewing!
