Seaview

Tucked away on a peaceful hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean is a one-of -a -kind home. With extensive views from Cape Kidnappers to Motu-o-Kura and beyond, this property is being offered to the market for the first time in 28 years. Designed by David Trubridge, it blends artistry, charm and thoughtful design in a way that is rarely seen today.

From the Poplar Ceilings to the Matai flooring, framing built from Douglas Fir and macrocarpa decks the home is filled with unique character and timeless craftsmanship. It offers an inspiring environment surrounded by 30 year old native bush, established organic gardens, vegetables, berries, fruit trees and an olive grove. Along with these comes the sound of native birds, Bell bird, Tui, Kereru, Tīwaiwaka and the Ocean tides.

The main living area flows effortlessly across an open-plan layout with covered walkways that join to the bedrooms, laundry, toilet, bathroom and sauna, and all the bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and separate decks with different bush and ocean outlooks. There is also a loft / 4th bedroom offering additional flexible accommodation.

The section and home has automatic gate access , and there is a double lock up garage with an elevated loft space and a separate boat shed or garage, giving you ample storage space. There is also the added benefit of solar panels that supplement the electricity supply and a vented wood burner in the lounge that warms this living area.

Only a short walk down the drive to Waimarama Beach through a walkway on Harper Road.

This residence offers more than just a home - it's a lifestyle of creativity, tranquility, sustainability and connection to nature, all within walking distance of Waimarama beach.

A rating valuation is the council's figure for apportioning rates, not a market appraisal. Sale prices are as published; a code beside a price is the council's sale type — hover it for what it means. “Off the market” only means the property stopped being advertised: it may have sold, been withdrawn or moved to another agency.

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.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

What could you build here?

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.
