Karekare, Timeless Warmth by the Beach

**This Property is now SOLD**

Karekare is a destination, a place we go to escape and reconnect. To be inspired.
This home invites you to do just that.
Built solidly by the original owner, a skilled drain-layer and keen gardener, and lovingly updated by an architect and a filmmaker, this home is a modern Pacific interpretation of the quintessential Kiwi bach.

Bob Harvey interviewed the owners for his 2001 book Rolling Thunder, placing the house in the wider Karekare context and highlighting just how special this area is.

Excellent indoor-outdoor flow through large sliding doors to both decks makes it easy to appreciate the natural surroundings: the beautiful garden, the sound of the Tui, and the breathtaking landscape of the West Coast. Close everything up, light the fire, and feel the warmth and heart of the home embrace you.

The home is a short, easy walk to one of the most incredible and special places in the Wait?kere Ranges - Karekare Beach. Known for its natural beauty and cinematic history, Karekare was the setting for the acclaimed film The Piano in 1992, and has drawn notable musicians and creatives, all inspired by the energy of the wild west coast.

After being lovingly cared for by the current owners for nearly 28 years, it's now ready for a new family to treasure and enjoy. Come and explore this special place.

Karekare is a rural coastal settlement located on Auckland's west coast, nestled between the Wait?kere Ranges and a stunning black sand surf beach. With approximately 320 permanent residents, it offers a sense of wildness and tranquility, yet is only 45 minutes from Auckland's CBD.

Nearby Piha (7 km away) provides additional amenities, and full shopping facilities are available in Henderson or Titirangi Village, just 23 km away, and 37 km to Auckland's central business district. The local primary school is Lone Kauri Community School, and the area is in the zone for Oratia District School.
