Wake to the Hauraki Gulf, wander through your own paddocks, then follow a private track through native bush to the sandy beach below. At this remarkable Waiwera property, country and coastal living come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Auckland. Elevated above the coastline, the estate captures spectacular views across Waiwera, Hatfields Beach, Orewa and the Hauraki Gulf. Behind the dramatic coastal outlook is a wonderfully relaxed lifestyle, with expansive land, paddocks, established grounds and exceptional privacy. There is space here for animals, gardens, family and friends, boats and all the toys that come with life by the coast. Spend mornings walking to the beach, afternoons on the water and evenings entertaining on the decks as the changing light moves across the Gulf. Built in cedar weatherboard and Wanaka schist, the substantial five-bedroom residence has a warm, timeless character. Generous living spaces connect with expansive decks and the landscape beyond, providing plenty of room for family gatherings and long summer lunches. Held by the same family for many years, the property feels wonderfully removed from the city, yet Orewa's restaurants, cafés, shopping and beaches are only minutes away. Auckland is easily accessible via the Northern Motorway, while Te Arai's world-class golf and coastline are approximately an hour north. Whether it's horses in the paddock, fishing or boating on the Gulf, walking to the beach or simply enjoying the extraordinary view, this is a property designed for living. This isn't simply a home with a sea view. It's a lifestyle that stretches from the paddocks to the beach. Private viewings by appointment.

On offer is a rare opportunity to be part of something truly special. Located at 300 King Road, Mangawhai, lies a unique community founded with a shared purpose: to protect, conserve, and celebrate the natural, historical, and recreational values of an indigenous forest ecosystem, while enjoying a lifestyle immersed in nature. Known as Marunui, this remarkable 420 hectare property (more or less) of QEII-covenanted native forest is home to kiwi whose calls echo at night, kererū gliding through the canopy, and a network of walking tracks and waterfalls that weave deep into the Brynderwyns. Owning Share 15 means more than simply having a home—it means becoming a guardian of a legacy. Each of the 18 shareholders has the right to a private dwelling site while collectively caring for the land and its wildlife. Here, neighbours come together to maintain tracks, protect kiwi, and preserve the forest for generations to come, there is access to shared facilities and conservation equipment. The residence with Share 15 is a spacious, thoughtfully designed five-bedroom, two- bathroom split-level home incorporating off-grid living. With a Code of Compliance Certificate already in place, it offers peace of mind and the freedom to make it your own, with finishing touches still to be completed. Off-grid here doesn’t mean compromise—it means living lightly, with the bush as your backdrop and birdsong as your soundtrack. Life at Marunui flows at a gentler pace. Some shareholders live here permanently, while others retreat for weekends and holidays, but all are united by their love of this remarkable environment. Community gatherings are often simple yet meaningful—walking the trap lines, enjoying the bush after rain, explore the nearby waterfalls, or sharing stories beneath a sky ablaze with stars. Marunui is more than land; it is a way of life. It is the chance to belong to a community with a shared purpose, where conservation and connection go hand in hand. For those who wish to live with nature, not apart from it, Share 15 offers a rare opportunity. Disclaimer: interior images have been digitally staged and floor coverings added.
