There are addresses that carry weight. 52 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead is one of them. Standing since the 1880s on one of Auckland's most tightly held harbour addresses, this grand colonial villa is a property of genuine rarity, the kind that surfaces once in a generation and is remembered long after it sells. On the North Shore luxury property market, nothing quite compares. She has watched the harbour shift through a hundred seasons, held within her walls the kind of life that leaves something behind, something in the timber, in the air, that you feel before you can name it. To step through her gate is to feel something shift. Inside, time moves differently. There is a stillness here that is not emptiness. It is depth. 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. The master suite is preceded by its own private lounge with fireplace, as though even the approach to rest deserves ceremony. Four bedrooms, water views, a new pool and pool house with guest quarters comprising an additional bedroom and bathroom, and 1,510 sq m (more or less) of land that wraps around her like a kept secret. What she offers cannot be replicated. Authentic beauty. Genuine scale. The bones of something truly extraordinary, and for those with vision, full plans are available that honour everything she already is, while imagining everything she could still become. Homes like this surface once. For the right person, at the right moment, they change everything. Who lives in a house like this… you do.

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.

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.

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.
