luxury house with sea view for sale Tamaterau, New Zealand

Set on a flat, generously sized 976 sq m (more or less) estuary-front section, 281 Cove Road enjoys an elevated position above the water, capturing ever-changing views across the estuary towards the ocean and offshore islands beyond. This peaceful, sun-soaked setting offers a strong sense of space and connection to the coastal environment, where reflections, birdlife and shifting light form part of everyday living. The property is improved by a refreshed 1970s two-storey beach bach, while the site itself presents clear potential for a future main dwelling and minor dwelling (subject to council consent). This flexibility allows buyers to enjoy the home as it is, further enhance it over time, or plan for a longer-term coastal vision. The home is thoughtfully configured for relaxed coastal living. Downstairs offers two bedrooms, a bathroom and a generous rumpus room with kitchenette, opening onto a covered, enclosed verandah fitted with pull-down clear blinds. This sheltered space provides a practical extension of the living area, allowing enjoyment of the estuary outlook and natural light in most conditions, before connecting to level lawns that sit elevated above the estuary. Upstairs, the master bedroom, bathroom and open-plan living area enjoy elevated views across the estuary to the ocean and islands. The space is light-filled and inviting, offering a comfortable vantage point to take in the outlook and changing tides. From the lawn, easy access leads down to the water’s edge and jetty - a special feature for jet skiing, fishing, launching kayaks or paddleboards, or simply enjoying time on the estuary. For golfing enthusiasts, the front lawn also features a putting green, adding an extra layer of recreational enjoyment. With the river mouth close by and Waipu Cove, Langs Beach and Waipu township all within easy reach, this is a compelling opportunity to secure an elevated estuary-front property with lifestyle appeal and future potential.

There are homes, and then there are places that change the way you feel the moment you arrive. Positioned at the end of a private right of way with sweeping ocean and island views, 10 Solar Way is a beautifully crafted coastal retreat that rewards those who seek both privacy and presence — all just a short stroll from the golden sands of Langs Beach. Set across two thoughtfully designed levels and approximately 199 sq m, this is a home built for living well. All-day northern sun floods the interior, and the elevated aspect ensures the view is yours from nearly every room — a shifting canvas of sea, sky and island silhouettes. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer peaceful refuge from the world. The master suite is a standout: a walk-through wardrobe flows into a beautifully tiled ensuite, while expansive bi-fold windows frame the ocean horizon — a view you'll never tire of waking up to. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is where this home truly comes alive. Rustic oak ply cabinetry, a natural white marble splashback and striking black granite benchtop give the kitchen a warm, considered aesthetic that is as beautiful as it is functional. High stud ceilings lift the space, while thoughtfully positioned skylights draw in natural light throughout the day. The heart of the home flows seamlessly out to a covered rosewood hardwood deck — the perfect setting for long lunches, sundowners, or simply watching the tide change. Outside, the home makes an equally strong impression. Hand-charred and oiled Siberian larch cladding gives 10 Solar Way a bold, distinctive character that is rare and genuinely striking. The grounds have been landscaped with future privacy in mind, maturing year by year into an even more sheltered haven. A single garage offers secure storage for all the gear that comes with an active coastal lifestyle, along with a large double concrete laundry tub that's as practical as it is welcome after a day on the beach. From the doorstep, the path to Langs Beach and the scenic coastal track is just a short walk away — mornings made for exploring, afternoons made for soaking it all in. This is a home that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace everything coastal living has to offer. Boundary lines are indicative only.
