luxury house with sea view for sale Totara North, New Zealand

This is a rare opportunity to secure a prime absolute beachfront position in what is unquestionably one of the Far North's most beautiful bays. Boasting stunning views up and down the entire beach and bay out to Stevenson Island, this is the pinnacle of Kiwi seaside living. Walk from your front lawn down nine steps, straight onto the golden sands and into the tide for a dip in the aqua blue subtropical waters. Facing North-East, you'll enjoy all day sun. Taupo Bay is one of those special beaches which can offer perfect conditions for water skiing/wake boarding and fishing/diving one day, sailing the next day, and surfing the next. The north end has a ramp onto the beach for ease of boat launching. The bay comprises a friendly, family-oriented community, with a mix of full time residents and holiday homes. The charming Lockwood pine house was built in 1997 and partly renovated in 2023. The beach facing section of the house features a spacious new designer kitchen located in prime position to take full advantage of the ocean vistas. The dining and lounge areas also share pole position. The large elevated deck provides an outdoor extension, perfect for relaxing, al fresco dining and impressing guests with the gorgeous outlook. Just behind the front row are three double bedrooms, and a bathroom, one of which has its own private deck providing a peak of the ocean. A conservatory separates the front section of the home from the rear. This sunroom is used as an indoor bbq area with additional dining and living space. The rear section contains a bathroom and a space which is being utilised as a fourth bedroom. The attached double garage has a loft for a children's playroom or storage. While Taupo Bay is 11km off the beaten track of SH10, it is also within close proximity of the historic Mangonui village, just 15-20 minutes further north, and the amenities around the Coopers Beach, Cable Bay, Taipa, Doubtless Bay area with Karikari Peninsula a little further on.
