Positioned in Mangawhai and designed with an uncompromising commitment to quality, this remarkable residence represents a calibre of design and craftsmanship rarely seen in the region.Architecturally designed by Jose Gutierrez, the home is a masterclass in material integrity, precision workmanship and thoughtful spatial design. Every element has been carefully considered — from the Western cedar cladding and Purple Heart hardwood decking to the wide plank oak flooring that flows throughout the interior.At the heart of the home lies a kitchen of exceptional quality. Crafted by Lausten, the oak veneer cabinetry is cut from a single tree and arranged in its natural sequence — a level of detail more commonly seen in bespoke furniture than residential kitchens. Premium Miele appliances, integrated refrigeration and minimalist Italian tapware complete a kitchen that is both beautifully functional and visually striking.Generous living spaces are enhanced by expansive architectural glazing, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out while allowing natural light to fill the home. A separate media room provides an additional retreat, while a striking hallway — reminiscent of an art gallery with curated lighting — creates a memorable architectural feature.Outdoor living has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a heated concrete swimming pool, covered outdoor living areas and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue and specialised outdoor Whispair extraction. Outdoor heating ensures the space can be enjoyed year-round.Inside, comfort has been carefully considered with ducted heating and cooling throughout the home, providing a comfortable environment in every season.A separate guest suite offers flexibility for visitors or extended family, while the grounds have been thoughtfully planted with approximately 10,000 native trees, creating a peaceful natural setting that will continue to mature and enhance privacy over time. A small orchard and space to grow further gardens complete the lifestyle offering.Set within a prestigious gated community with coded entry, residents enjoy access to over 70 hectares of protected covenanted forest, home to kiwi, with walking tracks, streams and a tennis court.The property is also within close proximity to the internationally acclaimed Tara Iti and Te Arai Links golf courses, and only a short drive to Mangawhai Heads Village and the stunning Mangawhai Heads Surf Beach.For further information or to arrange a private viewing, contact Sarah O’Neil of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, specialising in luxury and coastal homes in Mangawhai and the surrounding areas.
