luxury houses for sale Northland, New Zealand

Directly opposite the pohutukawa-lined sands of Langs Beach, this modern and elegant home sits front row to one of Northland's most photographed stretches of coastline. From the moment you sit down, the view is already there. White sand, blue water and the outer islands are framed through the living area, close enough to feel part of the room. Morning coffee comes with the changing colours of the bay; by evening, the same outlook takes on an entirely different mood as the light moves across the water. Tinted stacker doors span the width of the living area, opening the home completely to the deck and allowing the coastal outlook to flow uninterrupted from the kitchen bench to the sea. Step outside and you're close enough to hear the waves - a constant reminder that Langs Beach is right across the road. And what a beach it is. Pohutukawa shade the beach, with swings and picnic tables for the younger ones, while the sheltered southern end of the bay offers easy access for boats, launched directly from the sand by tractor. Swim in the clear, sheltered waters, paddle along the shoreline, cast a line from the rocks or head out on the water, or simply find a quiet patch of sand, settle in with a good book and let the afternoon disappear. Summer days naturally unfold here, but the beauty of this location is that it doesn't switch off when the holiday season ends. It's just as appealing on a quiet Tuesday in June as it is with the whole family gathered for January. Then there's the simplicity of the home itself. This is a property that asks remarkably little of you - an increasingly rare quality for a beachfront home. Whether you're managing it from overseas, fitting it around a demanding career, running a busy family household, or simply don't want your holiday house to become another job, this is genuine lock-up-and-leave living. A small front lawn is the only garden to maintain; the remainder of the section is concrete, leaving no ride-on mower, extensive planting or weekend maintenance waiting for you. Inside, the design is contemporary yet grounded in its coastal setting. Open-plan living and dining sit across polished concrete floors beneath a negative-detail plywood ceiling, while cedar and schist bring warmth and texture to the material palette. The master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while two further bedrooms share a beautifully tiled family bathroom and separate WC. A dedicated internal laundry completes the practical layout. But ultimately, this home is about where you are. Wake to the ocean. Walk across the road for a swim. Come home from the beach and leave the doors open to the sound of the waves. Entertain on the deck while the bay provides the backdrop. Fall for it on the first walk-through - a beautifully considered beach home where the setting does most of the work, and the view never needs an introduction. Contact Sandy McKenzie and Yana Bell at New Zealand Sotheby's International for more information.

The brick and tile residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms in an effortlessly elegant, open-plan design that flows seamlessly from kitchen to dining to lounge, and out to the entertaining beyond. Step outside to a true entertainer’s sanctuary. A resort-style terrace wraps around the heated saltwater pool, while the fully fitted outdoor bar room, complete with BBQ, fridge freezer and custom cabinetry, sets the scene for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The land delivers in kind: five fenced paddocks each with their own water reticulation, three water tanks plus a dedicated trough supply, and a striking four-bay barn offering exceptional storage, workshop or business potential. A sweeping concrete driveway and generous hardstand parking accommodate vehicles, trailers, floats or machinery with ease, a genuine asset for contractors or those requiring serious space.
