1212 Whangarei Heads Road, Parua Bay, Northland

This unique home has been in the same family for nearly 32 years and features native timbers, exceptional views and all-day sun. Thoughtfully created, this architectural home has been designed to fit seamlessly into the landscape. As you follow the sun, you'll be met with expansive and peaceful views that will delight. From harbour views, serene mature forest, Mt Manaia, abundant bird life to vivid sunsets over the sea, every window offers a spectacular sight.

All of the bedrooms and living areas have access to decking which wraps around 3/4 of the house and provides the perfect space to entertain friends and family, or simply relax and soak in the beauty of nature. The house was designed to provide all day sun and somewhere to be in or out of the sun/wind in all weathers.

This property is positioned on a substantial 5.78-hectare block and boasts 2.1 hectares of covenanted bush, providing you with a private and pristine natural escape. There is potential to work towards self-sufficiency with extensive vegetable gardens and over 50 fruit and nut trees producing everything from pip fruit to almonds to bananas and pineapples. Make your own wine from the huge grapevine? Part of the main orchard is fenced for hens & part of the property could be restored to grazing for an animal or two if required.

The interior of this home is just as impressive as its surroundings. High vaulted ceilings, dramatic high windows, native timber in floor, ceiling, doors and cabinetry. There is plenty of natural light. Insulation in the walls, floor and ceilings, and a Kent fire with wetback will keep you warm and dry. The cooktop on the Kent fire is excellent for slow cooking in the winter.

Split over two levels with a roomy 210m2 floor plan, on the main level you'll find three bedrooms which seamlessly connect to the outdoors via the deck, an open plan dining, living area and roomy kitchen with large walk-in pantry, a second separate lounge, family bathroom and separate laundry.

Downstairs, you'll find a rumpus/studio room, office or fourth bedroom, second bathroom, and kitchenette which is currently used as self-contained accommodation. With its own access and decking with superb views and separation from upstairs, it's a versatile space, excellent for guests, working from home, or a number of other options.

The house has been favourably assessed for the ability to be fully off grid with solar, and recently had wiring added to allow the whole house to run off a generator in case of power disruption.

There is a potential for tiny homes, tracks for trail biking, walking tracks….

The veranda roof was replaced in 2022 and the main roof professionally repainted and nails replaced with screws in April 2022.

This property also features an oversized single garage with a workshop, covered carport, and plenty of off-street parking, providing you with convenience and practicality.

This property, while nestled in it’s own haven, is situated handily half-way between the Parua Bay Tavern and Parua Bay village (1.5km). The vibrant village has a community centre with squash courts, and many sporting and leisure activities. Supermarket, gas station, gym, cafes are within the shopping centre, and over the road is the local full primary school (to year 8). The surrounding area offers access to a wide variety of coastal activities, including walking tracks, a golf course, tavern, boat ramp (5 mins away), and nearby world class beaches. Fishing, diving, kayaking, sailing in the in the harbour, or perhaps in the ocean, it is all just minutes away. Plus, it's only a scenic 20 km drive to Whangarei City.
