6 Hills View Lane, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

This delightful Mangawhai barn house with enchantingly different qualities is a coastal village home with soul. You will catch yourself smiling on the inside as you enter this much-loved dwelling with its open plan kitchen integral to family roasts, intimate dinner parties and large celebrations, with internal dining spilling out to a moody lounge and covered verandah.

The 158sqm airy yet warm, two-story floor area is an exotically furnished, three-bedroom home with two bathrooms. Polished concrete floors underpin the chic, eclectic yet utilitarian look and feel that transcends you to faraway places. French bifold doors open onto the West front patio, an alfresco lean-to entertaining area features Macrocarpa beams and posts. Striking LVL and steel I-beams support the multifunctional GluLam mezzanine flooring doubling as the sarked downstairs ceiling, with upstairs skylights along the North roofline. Guests will love retreating to the intimate timber cabin/sleep-out with sunny covered deck and lofted storage aesthetically connected to the main abode.

This generous 2835sqm; attractively planted private setting has Resource Consent to subdivide, with the promise of what two titles can offer - a property with two legal dwellings for multigenerational living; designing another dream home while retaining the barn house for family, friends or AirBnB. Near perfect for peace or play, the property's village green stage is great for cricket, croquet or hosting, as did these owners, your own jazz concert with off-street parking. Mature boundary trees filter dappled light throughout the day, solar spotlighting romances the evening, and a caravan point is at hand.

Tastefully developed since its purchase in 2016, strategically located between the Village and The Heads, 6 Hills View Lane is an easy stroll to cafes, coastal walks, Museum, Activity Zone, and Mangawhai Central's amenities. For those seeking to create memories to cherish, this property promises to deliver.
