51 Taronui Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

Nestled on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in an exclusive community at Tapuaetahi Beach, 20 minutes from Kerikeri Airport and township, and a 35 minute flight from Auckland, this waterfront home enjoys incredible views to the Cavalli Islands, Kauri Cliffs golf course and beyond.

With lawns that fold on to the surf break, and Pohutakawa trees framing the views, this is a magical sub-tropical setting. Sitting on a generous 1080m² site that has hosted summer luncheons and wedding ceremonies, making a perfect lock up and leave. This is an enviable perpetual leasehold tenure.

Entering from the back patio and past a large modern bathroom, and bedroom/home office, incredible water views and the large airy open plan entertaining space greet you. The feature window gives the kitchen and dining room the wow factor. Up five steps to the lounge and over height double sliding doors open onto the spit-level terraces. Off the lounge are two generous bedrooms which share an en suite.

Split-level decks step down to the front lawn and a thatched outdoor bure, set back in tropical gardens, projects a real ‘island time’ vibe.

At ground level is a fourth bedroom and a self-contained area for guests to enjoy their own space. A double depth garage has room for vehicles, or the tractor and boat. Plus a large workshop, perfect for pottering, hobbies or mending your cray pots. Wash away all your cares and the sand in the outdoor shower, then head inside to cook your catch and fall asleep to the sound of kiwi and the lapping of ocean waves.

The famous Stubby’s surf break is directly in front, and the lagoon is perfect for snorkelling, diving, or kayaking, with the Rainbow Warrior dive site just minutes away. Take an easy stroll to the white sandy beach, and enjoy one of the best beaches in Northland. This is a rare opportunity to secure a beachfront property with endless memories waiting to be made.
