Explore coastal serenity and architectural legacy with the timeless charm of ‘Cliffs’ Beach House’ — a Haumoana Beach property unlike any other along the coastline, at the time of construction in the 1920s. Designed by renowned architect James Chapman-Taylor, this character-filled home is a rare example of his work on the coast. Constructed in rough concrete pebble mix — a bold nod to the nearby stony shoreline — the home stands as both a historic treasure and a peaceful seaside escape.
The residence features two bedrooms — one with a walk-in wardrobe — and a loft area positioned above them, providing additional flexible space. The bathroom includes a traditional clawfoot bath, while the sunny, east-facing enclosed porch with bi-fold windows captures glimpses of the ocean and welcomes the morning light. A bright, open-plan living area with adazed wall panels, a pitched ceiling, and exposed rafters enhances the sense of space and airiness throughout.
The surrounding gardens are a tranquil haven, flourishing with mature fruit trees including lemon, banana, avocado and feijoa, as well as a thriving vegetable patch — perfect for those seeking a self-sustaining lifestyle. Adding to the property’s versatility, the garage and shed offer ample space for covered parking or can be repurposed for storage, workshop use, or creative pursuits.
