49 Sarahs Hill, Hahei, Thames-Coromandel

Views to treasure

This is more than a home — it's a haven. Poised high on Sarah's Hill, this special property combines breathtaking views with a comforting sense of home. With a sweeping outlook over Mercury Bay and the Islands, the house and grounds offer a lifestyle that is both elevated and deeply grounded. Set within 8,777sqm (more or less) of privacy and greenery, the architect designed Hebel block home opens to a stunning ‘infinity lawn' that seems to roll right into the horizon — a serene space for reading under the sun, entertaining friends, or watching the stars. Sheltered from the winds, it's a year-round outdoor retreat that feels as welcoming as the home itself.
Inside, the handcrafted details make all the difference. Soft plaster walls with their natural, hand-finished character and warm, tactile textures give the home a relaxed, welcoming feel — a place where you can curl up with a book, gather with loved ones, or simply soak in the ever-changing view. Open fireplaces inside and out add a timeless sense of comfort and glow, while the wide covered terrace connects you to the outdoors in every season — perfect for long lunches and sunset drinks. The single-level layout is anchored by a luxurious master suite with his-and-hers ensuites — one featuring a deep soaking bath and a view. The additional bedrooms each open directly to the outdoors, offering optimum indoor/outdoor flow and easy access to the garden and views. Additional conveniences include a spacious butler's pantry with generous storage, an internal garage, and a Porte cochère that provides rain protection for arriving visitors. Underfloor heating enhances the thermal qualities provided by the Hebel construction.
A separate, cleverly designed two-storey barn features a versatile central bay that could be utilised as an additional garage or workspace, complete with an adjacent bathroom. Two bedrooms occupy the second level, while a dedicated workshop completes this highly functional area. Emphasising sustainability, the property also boasts recently installed gutter guards, raised-bed vegetable gardens, and a thriving orchard producing apples, figs, apricots, plums, and pears. This is Hahei living as it should be: warm, welcoming, and perfectly in tune with its surroundings. A rare opportunity to secure a place at the top — your forever home or a holiday retreat you'll never want to leave. The time to act is now.
