Private Coastal Sanctuary

Set on an elevated 8600 sqm site within immaculate grounds and capturing exceptional views across the estuary and beyond, this single level home has been thoughtfully designed to harmonise with its natural coastal surroundings.

Contemporary open plan living flows seamlessly to a central, sun soaked deck, complemented by a covered alfresco area on the northeast side. The designer kitchen forms the heart of the spacious dining and lounge zones, with doors and windows opening wide to create a true indoor/outdoor connection, disolving the barrier between inside and out.

Three generous, breezy bedrooms each enjoying picturesque views over Tern Point farmland and out toward the estuary, offer ample space for family and guests. Vaulted ceilings enhance the bright, airy atmosphere throughout. A sheltered rear entertaining area, complete with an outdoor shower, provides the perfect spot to unwind after a peaceful stroll along one of Tern Point's private farm tracks or a wander over the sand dunes to the Pacific Ocean.

The property also features its own mature petit olive grove and offers plenty of scope to further develop both the home and grounds.

Enjoy the privacy and exclusivity of Tern Point Estate, a waterfront sanctuary adjoining the world-class Tara Iti Golf Course. This unique community boasts over a kilometre of estuary frontage, a private boat ramp, stunning walking trails, exclusive recreation areas, and access to approximately 8.5 km of pristine white-sand beach. The crystal-clear Pacific waters stretch from Te Arai Point in the south, past the Mangawhai dunes in the north, to the harbour entrance.

This is a unique opportunity!

Note: Lot 2 is part of a two lot subdivision with Resource Consent granted. Settlement will be after issue of the new title.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,035 × 52 weeks = $53,820, against the council valuation of $1,850,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$1,034100%

We read this property as a house with 3 bedrooms. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
