luxury houses with sea view for sale New Zealand

Expand your Horizons – Coastal Estate Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Set within an extraordinary natural landscape, a coastal lifestyle property of privacy, scale, serenity and potential. This exceptional coastal estate unfolds as a private world of sea, headland, forest, wetland and open pasture. Your arrival is pure theatre: beyond the gates the vast horizon alive with islands, ever-changing light and the gentle curving sweep of Omaru Bay. 13.93 hectares (more or less), two freehold riparian titles with more than 500 metres of remarkable coastline. The views travel without interruption across the Hauraki Gulf - from Coromandel Peninsula to the sculptural silhouettes of Pōnui, Rotoroa and Pakatoa - while closer at hand, the estate reveals intimate coves, a private beach, mature native forest and shimmering wetland. An expansive home is anchored, embracing and warm, an invitation to slow down and live within this natural landscape. The panoramic views are majestic, land to sea and unobstructed. For those arriving from Auckland, the helipad offers a seamless passage from city to sanctuary in approximately 12 minutes. By boat, the arrival is equally compelling: the approach across clear water toward a shoreline that feels entirely removed from the everyday. The owners have been devoted custodians of this landscape for 25 years. More than 15,000 native trees have been planted, transforming the estate into a richly layered habitat of towering canopy, seemingly just in time for the Kiwi release programme that has introduced breeding pairs to the area. Every part of the property invites a different tempo. Follow the 1.5 km of formed boardwalks and tracks through the native forest. Swim, paddle board and kayak from the beach. Launch Sea Legs from the boatshed and explore the coast at leisure. Slip out to the registered mooring, set a course for the outer islands, and return as the afternoon light turns the water to silver. Then there is the foreshore. Facing west, a beautiful stage for close of day - children race across the grass, the wetland reeds catch the evening glow and the sky deepens from gold to star studded indigo. Smokey, salty, earthy - an ancient alchemy that draws people together. Wild, elegant and utterly unforgettable. With one existing residence across two separate titles, the property presents an invitation to imagine what might come next; an additional home, private guest accommodation - undoubtably inspired architecture will create an enduring legacy. This is a holding of rare presence - a place to retreat, reconnect and create a story that will be told for generations. For Sale Guide to value: interest from NZ $16,000,000.

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.

A grand room of true ballroom scale anchors the home, surrounded by living spaces that breathe and flow with an ease that was never accidental.

Perched above Waipu Cove on just over a hectare of landscaped grounds, grazing and mature native bush, this is a home built the way few are anymore - precast concrete tilt-panel construction on a steel frame, engineered to shrug off the coastal climate, built to be handed down through generations. A home with concrete strength and an ocean soul. Inside, the quality carries through. Negative-detailed ply ceilings lift the living spaces, while the clever two-level design with mezzanine family room captures light and view from every angle. Expansive glazing frames a panorama that genuinely stops people mid-sentence: the full sweep of Bream Bay, from Whangarei Heads across to Taranga and the Hen and Chickens Islands, with the surf line of Waipu Cove tracing the shore below. Three bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite give the layout real flexibility, while the generous deck flows off the living areas - the natural spot for long summer evenings watching the light change over the water. The kitchen is tidy and perfectly functional as it stands, and here lies the opportunity: with the office sitting conveniently alongside, there's obvious potential to reimagine this corner of the home - think modern kitchen with scullery or butler's pantry - and add real value to a home that's solid to the core. Move in and enjoy it now, or put your own stamp on it over time; either way, the fundamentals are done and done well. Outside is where the property works its quiet magic. Established, low-maintenance gardens wrap around the house, fruit trees dot the grounds, and the surrounding mature native bush keeps the air alive with birdsong. There is a genuine tranquillity here, the kind that makes visitors drop their shoulders the moment they step out of the car. Sheep graze the paddock, and a separate cabin offers options for guests, hobbies or a studio. And then there's the beach. Roughly 2km from the ocean, with the Cove Road cycleway just down the road, it's an easy pedal to Waipu Cove - crowned NZ Herald's Best Beach two years running - or a scenic ride the other way into Waipu township for its cafés, shops and famous Scottish heritage. Homes of this build quality, in this position, with this outlook, rarely come to market. Don't watch this one go to someone else - call today to arrange your private viewing.
