luxury houses for sale Mangawhai, New Zealand

Positioned in Mangawhai and defined by an uncompromising commitment to quality, this remarkable residence offers a level of design and craftsmanship rarely seen in the region. Designed by award-winning architect Jose Gutierrez, the home is a masterclass in material integrity, precision workmanship, and thoughtful spatial planning. The layout comprises four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and two distinct living areas that can be opened up or closed off to suit the occasion. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the Western cedar cladding and Purpleheart hardwood decking to the wide-plank oak flooring that flows throughout the interior. At the heart of the home is an exceptional kitchen, crafted by Lausten Cabinetmakers. Its oak cabinetry was cut from a single tree and arranged in natural sequence, reflecting a level of detail more often associated with bespoke furniture than residential design. Premium Miele appliances, integrated column refrigeration, and minimalist Italian tapware complete a space that is both highly functional and visually striking. This bespoke cabinetry continues throughout the home, extending into the bathrooms and living spaces. Generous living areas are framed by expansive architectural glazing, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors and inviting natural light deep into the home. A separate media room offers an additional retreat, while a striking hallway, reminiscent of an art gallery and enhanced by curated lighting, provides a memorable architectural moment. Outdoor living has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a concrete swimming pool, covered alfresco areas, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue and specialised outdoor Whispair extraction. Outdoor heating ensures this space can be enjoyed year-round. Inside, ducted heating and cooling provide year-round comfort across the entire home. A separate guest suite offers flexibility for visitors or extended family. The grounds have been extensively and thoughtfully planted with approximately 10,000 native trees, creating a peaceful natural setting that will continue to mature and enhance privacy over time. A small orchard and further space for gardens complete the lifestyle offering. Set within a prestigious gated community with coded entry, residents enjoy access to more than 70 hectares of protected covenanted forest, home to kiwi, along with walking tracks, streams, and a tennis court. The property is also close to the internationally acclaimed Tara Iti and Te Arai Links golf courses, and just a short drive from Mangawhai Heads Village and the surf beach. Further underscoring the home’s calibre, it was named a finalist in HOME Magazine’s Home of the Year 2025, shortlisted for the NZIA Auckland Architecture Awards 2025, and recognised in the Master Builders House of the Year 2024 with Top 100 and Gold Award honours.
