If you dream of wide open spaces, this elevated new build, sitting pretty in an exclusive gated community overlooking Wainui golf course, is calling your name.

Featuring 16 large, elevated sections overlooking the manicured greens and lush vegetation of the Wainui Golf Course, Wainui Estate is proving popular with keen golfers and those who appreciate the fantastic lifestyle on offer.

Built to optimise space – both within and around the house – this high-spec residence, nestled on a 1,611 square metre section, allows you to take a deep breath and relax.

“This home is ideal for those who want to get away from the prospect of being built out. Here, you don’t have the limitations that come with smaller, higher-density properties, ” says the owner, a builder with many years’ experience who not only managed the building project himself, but lives in the estate with his wife too.

They wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Moving here really is escaping the rat race. It totally changed our lifestyle. As you arrive here, you completely destress, and as you close the door, you put the world behind you. It’s lovely to sit out on the deck with a glass of wine and look out across the golf course. The sunsets are incredible – we call it the golden hour.”

The owners’ mission was to make the most of the picturesque views to both sides of the property.

Step inside and it’s immediately clear how masterfully this vision has been achieved.

An abundance of glass, and views from just about every room create a wonderful sense of light and space.

A spacious entry leads into an open-plan living and dining area spilling, effortlessly out onto extensive concrete patios on two sides. Anchoring the open-plan living area is a sleek designer kitchen complete with quality Fisher and Paykel appliances – including a roomy french door fridge – centre island and spacious butler’s pantry. A commodious lounge with gas fire is ideal for cosy family nights and is complemented by a large media room, while a separate study allows you to work from home in an inspiring setting.

Located away from the other bedrooms, the large master bedroom comes with its own luxurious ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe. The remaining three bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, are spacious, and a stylish, tiled family bathroom completes the picture.

The property comes with plenty of room for a swimming pool and boat – and the connection for a spa pool has already been installed. All you have to do is move in and start enjoying the fantastic lifestyle on offer.

“It’s a beautiful place to live. We enjoy lots of space and privacy while being surrounded by great neighbours. There’s a real sense of community here – we all look out for each other, which, along with the security cameras, provides a sense of safety. We all get on well, and often get together for parties. We have a great mix of families with children and married couples, ” the owner says.

“The lifestyle here is incredible. We’re close to everything – we’re 10 minutes from the beaches and still just a 30-minute drive to the city, with the motorway 3 kilometres away.”

With a limited number of properties left in this highly sought-after lifestyle community, you’ll want to contact Jake Morgan or Jen Singleton from Harcourts Cooper & Co. and secure your slice of Wainui paradise today.

“With four kids, I’ve enjoyed the space the house offers, with areas for everyone to retreat to. For some ‘me’ time, I love sitting in the sunny front room reading. Another favourite spot is sitting by the dining room table in the sun, doing a puzzle,” says the owner.

“The house is nice and warm in winter, comes with big bedrooms and features good storage throughout. The property has a decent backyard for a new build, which has been great for the kids. It’s a lovely, new neighbourhood, with lots of nice little community events for celebrations like Christmas and New Year’s,” she adds.

Only 300 metres to the Red Beach Shops, an easy and easy, flat walk down to the golden sands of Red Beach and in the zone for popular Red Beach school, it’s a location that’s hard to beat.

Featuring a family home plus self-contained flat, steps away from the estuary and beach, and zoned for Mixed Housing: Urban under the Auckland Unitary Plan, there is opportunity in spades here.

Commanding its site overhead of the waters of Orewa Beach, 37 Rosario could take any narrative and still return unrivalled rewards!

Characterised by brick, block and weatherboard, the home is strikingly and durably built. Step inside and you’re immediately embraced by an soothing, inviting ambience, thanks to crisp white spaces interspersed with warm wood detail.

The hub of the home is the upstairs kitchen with double ovens, stone counters and local macrocarpa breakfast bar, flowing out into the open-plan dining and living room with its beautiful estuary, beach and water views, which in turn spills out onto an elevated deck – perfect for entertainers.

A lot of “love, sweat and tears” went into the high-quality home you see here today, with its superior craftsmanship and a curated coastal style

Ownes Hester and Ian lived in the home for several years before stripping the home down to its bones and completing an extensive renovation and extension, so they knew exactly how to reach the home’s full potential.

“It’s been a wonderful family home to raise our three children in. We wanted a sea view, and a granny flat for my mother-in-law, who lived with us for many years. Since the children have flown the nest, they’ve all lived in the flat with their partners at times. My husband is an engineer, so he was very design focused when we undertook the renovation,” says owner Hester.

The family has enjoyed the laid-back lifestyle this home has afforded them.

“After work, I’ve loved walking down the ‘Cutters Path’ walkway to the estuary for a paddleboard, or to sit under the trees reading a book while watching the children swim. You can also walk to Red Beach or Orewa Beach, and we’re close to Silverdale and Orewa’s cafes, restaurants and amenities. From the house, I could see the kids play at Orewa College – everything is within walking distance,” says Hester.

“I love sitting outside on the deck. WIth its outdoor blinds and roof, it’s easy to enjoy a glass of wine, catch up on the day or have a barbecue all year round. I’ve fallen asleep on the outdoor settee in the afternoon sun many times. We love to sit and watch what’s happening on the water – it’s always changing,” she adds.

With the owners downsizing, you now have the golden opportunity to own this slice of Red Beach paradise. Interest is sure to be high, so contact Anita Dobson or Kieran Barakat from Harcourts Cooper and Co today.

Looking for something truly special, where you can bring your grand vision to life? Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure 30-plus existing titles with deep historic roots in the Northland region.eip

Tracing its origins back to the Albert land settlers of the 1890s, who had big plans for a pioneer town at Port Albert, ‘The Point’ has been patiently waiting for more than a century for someone with big dreams to do something equally visionary here.

Offering up sweeping vistas of the Kaipara Harbour and spectacular sunset views from elevated knoll sites, this prime land parcel is set on a stunning peninsula comprising 7.538 hectares of undulating pastoral land with coastal reserve frontage.

After generations of ownership, the original settler family – the Ingers, descendants of Thomas Inger, the father of the Kaipara district, who lived to be 100 years old – is offering this golden investment and development opportunity.

‘‘Land bank for the future, or stage your development over time – it’s all possible here,’’ says Jeneen Binsted from Harcourts Cooper and Co.

‘‘A amalgamation of titles can allow for the creation of prime coastal lifestyle sections now. Alternatively, create your own personal coastal retreat while holding titles in reserve as forward investment,’’ adds Jane Hulme of Harcourts Cooper & Co.

The land area comprises two zonings within the Auckland Council Unitary Plan: Rural Coastal, fringed by harbour reserve and Warehine River; and Rural Coastal Residential sites with elevated views of the harbour to Oruawharo River estuary.

Legal roads providing dual-access options intersperse the titled area.

Transferable titles may be an option, subject to Auckland Council consent.

Port Albert is a tranquil coastal settlement nestled eight kilometres via Wellsford township, or an easy 10-minute drive via sealed road.

A favourite west coast fishing spot with a landmark local store and waterfront community reserve with jetty, playground and toilets, this small coastal village, set in a predominantly rural area, is titled for expansion, says Jeneen.

‘‘Auckland City is moving steadily north and the time to secure land is now! Hold and await the continuation of the motorway north, promoting Wellsford as a light industrial hub and encouraging population growth,’’ she says.

‘‘One thing is certain, once sold, this outstanding coastal development opportunity is unlikely to come your way again. Your urgent viewing is advised, so call us for further details today,’’ says Jane.
