3 Claude Street, Mangawhai Heads, Kaipara, Northland

Breathtaking views combined with an outstanding house creates an unparalleled beach home.

Thoughtfully designed and built with a love of life, encompassing both social aspects and personal spaces, the awe inspiring estuary, sandspit, ocean and island views will capture your heart.

A welcoming entrance invites you in where generous open plan living offers intimate areas for dining or relaxing, or delight in hosting a gathering of friends with seamless flow to the sheltered courtyard - the ultimate fun zone and perfect place to unwind.

Culinary enthusiasts will love the kitchen vista and, with scullery with sink and steam oven, gastronomic delights will be on the menu.

Some of the best views in Mangawhai, it is like having your own living water colour and there is plenty of wall space for your own art works.

The master bedroom captures sun rises over the ocean and opens to large decking with ensuite proffering a bath with ocean views to luxuriate in. A second room, set up as an artist’s studio, could be a dedicated media room or second family bedroom – the choice is yours.

Enjoy the upstairs level as your master suite with office/come dressing room or spoil your guests with an ensuite and spectacular views.

Downstairs the oversized garage has oodles of space with workshop and pool table plus a room with a murphy bed for summer overflow, and a bathroom for those coming back from the beach. There's a lift for easy transfers from car to the main level and too many extras to list.

With level lawn at the rear there’s vege and flower gardens and your own bush walk. It’s an easy stroll to the estuary for a dip on a hot summer’s day and you can walk or drive to the beach for a surf or swim, plus it’s a short drive to the boat ramp for a day’s fishing or wakeboarding.

Permanent paradise or lock up and leave, this is definitely a “must see” to appreciate all this property has to offer – you won’t be disappointed. Vendors heading over the ditch - make time to view.
