Resort living meets rural luxury

Beautifully crafted and exceptionally appointed, this contemporary architectural residence delivers an outstanding lifestyle in one of Mangawhai's most desirable rural settings. Elevated to capture uninterrupted views across Mangawhai Heads, the estuary, Pacific Ocean and offshore islands, this exceptional home combines refined design, with effortless family living.

Set on approximately 3.695 hectares (more or less) the property offers an amazing mix of leading-edge architecture, resort style living with a pool complex, plus a farm shed and paddocks. The low maintenance landscaped grounds include a productive orchard, covenanted bush and children's playhouse and flying fox. As part of the exclusive Mangawhai Ridge Society Incorporated, ownership also includes access to approximately 36 hectares (more or less) of shared native bush, a dam, walking and horse riding trails and the opportunity to graze stock on the communal land.

The split-level home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its spectacular surroundings. At its heart is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area featuring engineered stone benchtops, premium Smeg appliances, a generous butler's pantry and a wood-burning fireplace. Expansive glazing and seamless indoor-outdoor flow connect the living spaces to sun-soaked decking and panoramic coastal views.

A separate media lounge provides additional flexibility, while the covered alfresco pavilion is designed for year-round entertaining with bespoke sliding screens, an outdoor fireplace, pizza oven and integrated sound system. The generous master suite offers a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite, while three additional bedrooms are serviced by a stylish family bathroom. A separate powder room, spacious laundry and excellent storage enhance everyday practicality.

Resort-style amenities complete the experience, including a heated swimming pool, sauna, hot tub and outdoor shower. The oversized double garage incorporates a versatile, lined studio, while a large farm shed and extensive parking, provide ample room for boats, recreational vehicles and guests. Modern conveniences include solar power with battery storage, Daikin air-conditioning system, multiple heat pumps, integrated security system and substantial water storage. There is also an electric fence unit and water to the paddocks.

Only minutes from Mangawhai Village, stunning beaches and world-renowned golf courses including Te Arai Links and Tara Iti, this is a rare opportunity to secure a luxury lifestyle property where architectural excellence, privacy and breathtaking coastal views come together in perfect harmony. This property can also be purchased turnkey, with most of the furniture available by negotiation.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,115 × 52 weeks = $57,980, against the council valuation of $2,880,000. 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$1,114100%

We read this property as a house with 4 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.

Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
