Property details

Motivated vendor - Make an offer

We welcome all reasonable discussion.

Arguably the premium site on the coast for its breathtaking elevated ocean outlook, 140 Lawson Drive occupies the dramatic summit over Whau Point. Surveying the entire Ngunguru Bay to Bream Head, the view is a collage of changing shorelines. The outer islands are clear on the seascape: the Poor Knights, Hen and Chicks, Mokohinau, and the Barrier islands. With the white sands of Whangaumu Bay below, the property takes in a 360-degree panorama from Ngunguru Village and the quiet estuary, all the way to the Tutukaka Harbour. A rare location - unquestionably good!

The vendor's own build in 2015, the home's structural envelope has been engineered to a spectacular level. The asymmetric roofline uses steel beam construction requiring no internal wall support. It is fully aerodynamic, great for roof parties, and it just looks cool. If you are looking for a statement property outside the standard home design, this is a place that will continue to surprise you.

The architecture is underscored by industrial-level componentry: steel portals, ultra-thick 150mm framing, heavy-duty aluminium double-glazed joinery, Canadian Cedar weatherboards with silicone bronze nailing, and high R-rated insulation. This home is built like a warship, featuring the sleek lines of a classy coastal retreat.

An Exclusive Canvas: Tailor-Make Your Interior

With a Capital Value (CV) of $2.3m, the vendor recognizes that the ultimate value lies in the completion of this masterpiece and is open to welcoming all reasonable discussion. Because the internal steel-beam construction requires no load-bearing interior walls, the home offers total architectural freedom.

The property is being sold ready for a complete interior fit-out. This presents a rare, premium opportunity to configure the layout exactly to your lifestyle and install the modern design, high-end kitchens, bathrooms, and bespoke hardware of your choice. You are skipping the multi-year stress of earthworks and structural council approvals, stepping straight into the rewarding phase of interior design on one of the finest coastal footprints available.

A house lot of 4,543 sqm gives a substantial land area on the ridge high-point. Charming walking paths wend through the grounds, connecting a range of private outdoor "rooms" featuring cooking facilities, bathrooms, and a sauna. Fruit trees and veggie gardens complete the picturesque surrounds. Located in a secure, private gated community, there is a further 4,354 sqm area in common ownership, featuring a walking loop through mature native bush with further dramatic ocean views.

The ocean below is a remarkable playbook of whales, orcas, and dolphins, along with all manner of seacraft from large ships to yachts and weekend fishermen. Changing with the weather from calm waters to the breathtaking drama of stormy seas - this home is unique in its grand outlook, exceptional construction, and a location on a stretch of coast rated second equal for the most desirable places to visit on earth by National Geographic Magazine.

Enjoy a premium lifestyle in a small, friendly community. Ngunguru Village, a scenic walk along the estuary beaches from Lawson Drive, is quaint and quiet, providing shopping, schooling, medical care, and a sports complex for golf, bowls, and tennis. Nearby Tutukaka is a hotspot for cafes, dining, and the Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club. All this sits just a short drive (around 30+ km) from the vibrant city of Whangarei.

The Tutukaka coast has some of the best beaches, finest people, and the best atmosphere for quiet coastal living. There is a comprehensive property and design pack available on request that outlines much more about this spectacular offering, including detailed notes from the builder on the ultra-high specification of construction. Bring your vision and secure the ultimate coastal vantage point.
