Whangarei Heads, Whangarei District

Cradled against the slopes of Mount Manaia, Te Piringa (The Haven) rises from a cloak of native bush, offering sweeping views across McLeod Bay, over Whangarei Harbour, and out to the distant ranges. From here, the sunsets are uninterrupted, the birdlife is abundant, and the sense of privacy is complete.

Set on almost 5 hectares of pristine bush alive with kiwi and kereru, this exceptional property combines seclusion, beauty, and income potential, just five minutes from Parua Bay village and half an hour from Whangarei City.

The Main Residence:
Constructed in the early 1990s as a master builder's own residence, Te Piringa spans three levels and 163 sqm. At its heart lies a north-facing kitchen, crafted from recycled kauri cabinetry with a Sydney blue gum servery and wide stainless steel worktops, a chef's dream. The kitchen opens into a light-filled lounge with expansive harbour views, leading onto a large deck with spa pool where alfresco dining and sunsets are simply unforgettable.

A second living space connects to a soaring "cathedral" dining room designed around 19th-century recycled kauri church windows. Timber joinery, vaulted scissor-trussed ceilings, and French doors create a warm, inviting atmosphere that flows to a second deck and covered veranda.

Upstairs, the master suite enjoys floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in wardrobe, offering the best wake-up views imaginable, alongside a second bedroom. The ground floor includes a third generous bedroom, bathroom, and separate WC.

On the lower level is a semi self-contained studio with a fourth bedroom, ensuite, and kitchenette. Perfect for extended family or guests, it also provides a proven Airbnb income stream.

The Second Dwelling:
Separate from the main residence and positioned further up the driveway, the property includes a standalone second dwelling. This space offers additional accommodation for guests, extended family, or long-term rental, significantly enhancing the home-and-income potential of Te Piringa. Its location provides privacy while still being close enough to share in the magic of the setting.

Outbuildings:
- A fully lined, double-height garage with mezzanine, currently used as a professional art studio.
- A large three-bay shed with separate lock-up workshop.
- A garden shed for additional storage.

Location:
Te Piringa's position is as practical as it is beautiful. Within minutes you can reach local shops, schools, safe swimming beaches, bush walks, and harbour or ocean fishing and diving spots. A scenic 30-minute drive along the pohutukawa-lined coastline connects you to Whangarei City.
