The Hamptons & Rammed Earth Collection
Cradled beneath the dramatic Bream Head mountain range, this remarkable 4,170 sqm coastal property enjoys one of Ocean Beach's most spectacular settings. Elevated above the surrounding landscape, it captures panoramic views across rolling pasture, the white sands of Ocean Beach, the Pacific Ocean and the Poor Knights Islands.
Lovingly created by a master craftsman and bespoke builder, every structure has been carefully considered, every material intentionally selected. Together they form The Hamptons & Rammed Earth Collection, a unique coastal retreat where timeless design, authentic craftsmanship and an extraordinary location come together.
At the heart of the property sits a beautifully crafted rammed earth home. Constructed from impressive 300 mm thick rammed earth walls with softly curved corners, the home combines rich Fijian kauri ceilings, handcrafted cedar entrance doors, native timber joinery, polished rimu veneer doors and Australian pilularis hardwood flooring to create a warmth and character that only authentic natural materials can deliver.
Increasingly sought after throughout New Zealand, rammed earth homes are renowned for their natural thermal performance. The walls absorb warmth during the day and gently release it as temperatures cool, helping regulate indoor comfort year-round. Durable, energy efficient, fire resistant and naturally beautiful, they are perfectly suited to New Zealand's climate.
Stepping inside, the home opens into an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space where the spectacular outlook immediately takes centre stage. The kitchen features granite benchtops with a striking waterfall island, while a wood burner provides warmth through the cooler months.
Large wraparound decks extend the living outdoors, creating exceptional spaces to entertain, relax or unwind in the spa while taking in uninterrupted 180-degree views across the coastline and out to the Poor Knights Islands.
The main residence offers two generous bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with built-in storage and magnificent views, serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Following the deck around the home leads to a separate self-contained studio complete with a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and open-plan living area (unconsented), making it ideal for guests or extended family.
Nearby, a separate unconsented hobby room, games room and substantial workshop provide excellent flexibility for recreation, working from home or creative pursuits.
Positioned separately near the entrance, The Hamptons (unconsented) enjoys its own sense of privacy. Beautifully crafted in timeless Hamptons style, it offers outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests or potential passive income.
Downstairs, open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces flow onto generous decking overlooking the surrounding landscape. A separate bedroom, together with a separate bathroom and separate toilet, completes the lower level.
A stunning heart rimu spiral staircase leads to the upper-level master bedroom, where a Juliet balcony captures beautiful views across the coastline towards Ocean Beach.
The thoughtful separation between the buildings creates remarkable versatility, whether you're accommodating multiple generations or creating a private retreat for family or friends.
Beautifully established gardens complete the setting, enhancing the property's privacy and peaceful atmosphere.
Ocean Beach, one of Northland's most iconic surf beaches, is only 2km away, approximately a four-minute drive from the property. The renowned Peach Cove Track is also nearby, attracting walkers and visitors from throughout New Zealand, further enhancing the property's appeal as both a permanent residence and an exceptional holiday destination.
As is often the case with unique lifestyle properties throughout the district, the improvements on site do not fully align with the council records. The separate self-contained studio, the games room and The Hamptons dwelling are unconsented and are offered for sale on an 'as is, where is' basis. Council records identify the property as a two-bedroom dwelling. Including the additional auxiliary accommodation, the property now offers a total of five bedrooms and three bathrooms across the collection.
Properties like this are exceptionally difficult to recreate. The craftsmanship alone would be significant to reproduce today, while the combination of authentic rammed earth construction, premium natural timbers, multiple accommodation options and one of Ocean Beach's most spectacular coastal settings creates an offering that is genuinely unique.
Beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed and almost impossible to replicate, The Hamptons & Rammed Earth Collection represents one of Ocean Beach's most distinctive coastal offerings.
