10 Hurinui Avenue, Whakatāne, Whakatāne

The grand oceanview sanctuary of Hillcrest

Step into a world where time slows, and peace and privacy are absolute. This grand residence, a true testament to a bygone era, is nestled in one of Hillcrest's most coveted enclaves, offered to the market for the very first time in 46 years.

Set on an impressive 2,935sqm of meticulously landscaped grounds, the home is an elevated sanctuary expansive views extending from Mt. Putuaki, across the plains, Whakatane township, Motuhora, (Whale Island) to Whaakari, (White Island). The views of the sun setting over the Coromandel and nearby Mt. Putuaki are spectacular, and so are mystical low clouds drifting over town, the outlook never fails to captivate. Native birdlife, including tūī and kererū, adds life and serenity to the property.

Inside, the warmth, character, and impeccable presentation of a cherished family home are immediately apparent. The light-filled, open plan living space flows seamlessly, highlighted by a curved lounge — an elegant nod to the Art Deco era. High ceilings and timeless detailing enhance the sense of grandeur, while the home's grounded design offers a haven where daily stresses simply fall away. Step through the doors off the dining area onto a sunny patio and enjoy your morning coffee as to soak in the exquisite environment.

There is a downstairs bedroom, ideal for elderly guests, with a spectacular bathroom nearby. This room would also make a perfect work-from-home office.

The striking staircase leads upstairs to three generous bedrooms, including a master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, all framing inspiring views. A second living area with polished timber floors and its own private balcony provides a retreat, a teenager's hideaway, or a flexible fourth bedroom. Three bathrooms in total, a separate laundry with great storage, and an internal-access 1.5-car garage complete the layout, with ample off-street parking for guests, including a vehicle parking deck.

Outdoors, a secluded second entertaining area makes the most of the afternoon sun, ideal for relaxed evenings with family and friends. There is also scope to develop further, perhaps a minor dwelling, a self-sufficient garden, or even an orchard.

Lovingly maintained for nearly half a century, this home is presented in immaculate condition and ready to embrace its next chapter. Its location perfectly balances privacy with convenience. A short stroll brings cafés, restaurants, and boutiques within easy reach.

This is more than a home; it is a sanctuary, a retreat, a place where every view, every corner, every moment is a reminder of a life well lived.

Arrange your private viewing today and live a life less ordinary!
