Two bedrooms open via ranch sliders to the deck, while the master enjoys an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, positioned at the opposite end of the home for added privacy. Comfort is assured year-round with both a wood burner and a heat pump for those cooler evenings. Outdoors, manicured lawns roll down to a serene esplanade reserve with a gentle creek, creating a haven for nature lovers. The property also features a substantial 7.5m x 14m four-bay high-stud shed with three-phase power and a concrete floor—ideal for tradies, storage, or hobby use.

Opportunities of this calibre for a blank canvas in Lang Cove are rare. Set high and proud on an elevated 889 sq m section - one of the larger sites currently available - this prime coastal holding offers an outstanding foundation for your ultimate seaside retreat. The current owners had embarked on creating their ultimate beach retreat, engaging in extensive design and planning before a change in circumstances shifted their direction. Their vision, approvals and groundwork now present a compelling opportunity for a new owner to step in and bring an elite coastal home to life. House plans have been approved by the Lang Cove Residents Association, along with Resource Consent for a striking, architecturally designed residence spanning approximately 589sqm over three levels. The thoughtfully conceived design allows for four generous bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, expansive open-plan living, and an internal triple-car garage complemented by a car elevator for additional parking. A substantial 193sqm of decking incorporates both pool and spa, all positioned to capture sweeping views down the sand and along the beach - a layout focused on comfort, privacy and relaxed coastal luxury. Lang Cove represents the more exclusive end of Langs Beach, where architecturally designed homes and Residents Association oversight protect both aesthetic and long-term value. Access to the reserve and beach is seamless via walkways, with no need to cross a busy road - ideal for families with young children. At Langs, you also enjoy the added luxury of launching boats directly off the sand with a tractor into the sheltered bay. This is a place defined by calm, clarity and connection to the water, set against a stunning pōhutukawa-lined shore. Step outside your door and the beach lifestyle is all yours: surf, swim, fish, or simply stroll along the sand while soaking up the views.
