51 Hihitahi Rise, Paihia, Far North

Sunny. Solid. Spacious.

If I were moving into this home with my family, I know exactly what would win me over.
It's tucked right at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with only one neighbouring property, so it immediately feels private and peaceful. At the front, there's a peep of the sea, and as the palms grow taller, that view will only get better. Out the back, you look straight into expansive native bush. The birdsong is beautiful and uninterrupted.
The outdoor living area is new, full of sun, and built to last. Mahogany decking, glass balustrades, a louvred pergola, and carefully placed lighting mean it's a place you'll actually want to use every day. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or alfresco dinners all summer long benefiting from the afternoon and evening sun , this is the spot. Best of all, it connects seamlessly with the kitchen and living area so you won't feel like you are miles away from the action. Passing drinks and food out from the big kitchen bench? Easy.
Inside, everything is generous. Four double bedrooms upstairs, all with excellent storage. The split-level design offers natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, so there's privacy even when the house is full. There's a large lounge, open dining and kitchen space, and a hidden-away study with double doors — perfect for homework, sewing, or even a future scullery if that's on your wish list.
Then there's the bonus: part of the garage has been converted into a spacious office with its own entrance. Whether you run a business from home, need space for client meetings, or want a private fifth bedroom or teenage retreat — this flexible space has you covered. There's even a small kitchenette and a private outdoor seating area, ideal for visitors, extended family, or independent teens.
The home has great bones, beautiful macrocarpa timber details throughout, and a sense of quality that's hard to come by. Solid wood doors, trim, and features give it real character. It's warm and dry with a new woodburner and a heat pump to keep things cosy in winter.
The section is easy-care, with minimal lawn to maintain, leaving your weekends free for the beach, the boat, or just doing what you love. And if you have got school-aged kids, the bus stops nearby.
As for Paihia, you are just a few minutes from safe swimming beaches, great cafes and all the charm and convenience of this sought-after Bay of Islands location.
If you're looking for a home that's not cookie-cutter, where you can spread out and feel connected to nature while still having the comfort of solid craftsmanship — this is one worth seeing.
