46 Whangaumu Street, Tutukaka Coast, Whangārei

Tightly held, truly iconic

Positioned right on the doorstep of the white sands and clear waters of Wellingtons Bay (Whangaumu Bay), this beautifully designed four-bedroom beach home offers an exceptionally rare chance to secure absolute waterfront in one of the Tutukaka Coast's most tightly held enclaves. Homes along this stretch seldom change hands, often remaining in families for generations — making this a truly special opportunity.

Lovingly held by the same family for over 40 years, the home was completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2013. The result is a thoughtfully crafted, modern home designed to make the most of its coastal setting, while offering the ease and comfort of contemporary living.

Set across two levels, the flexible layout features two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs - an ideal arrangement for accommodating family, guests, or providing separation for short-stay hosting. The lower level has its own external access, creating a private and practical space for multigenerational living or Airbnb income.

There are three distinct living areas throughout the home, offering flexibility and room for everyone to spread out or come together. Whether it's board games, quiet reading, or planning the next beach mission, there's a space for every kind of gathering.

Sunlight fills the home through expansive windows, joinery, and skylights, creating a light-filled interior that connects beautifully with the outdoors. The open-plan living area flows out to generous outdoor zones - ideal for shared meals, gathering after a day at the beach, or simply enjoying time together in a setting that feels both special and familiar.

The master suite is a true highlight - elevated for the best vantage point in the home, with panoramic views across the bay. Outside, established fruit trees, an edible garden, and a mature Pohutukawa tree give the property a relaxed, coastal charm. There's no work to do - it's ready to move in and enjoy.

A separate office off the double garage provides a practical space for remote work, hobbies, or additional storage - neatly tucked away but easily accessible.

With the beach quite literally on your doorstep, it's the perfect setting for safe swimming, morning walks, or casting a line off the point. Launch your boat from the bay and explore the coastline, or head to the nearby Poor Knights Marine Reserve. Tutukaka Marina and the Oceans complex are just 6km away, while Whangārei is a 30km drive for all amenities.

Modern, low-maintenance, and in one of Northland's most treasured coastal settings, this is a home that rarely comes to market. Opportunities like this are few and far between.
