17 Rangimaarie Crescent, Mahurangi East, Rodney District, Auckland

Drawn to the panoramic water views, complete privacy, and close connection to the sea, the owners of this relaxed yet sophisticated home capitalised on the virtues of waterfront living by creating a resort-style mood where one can feel forever on holiday. Hidden deep down a private driveway within the fold of Kawau Bay, they were attracted to the stunning site and its sheltered, tranquil position.

Cloaked by trees and featuring its own walk track to the beach below, the connection to the ocean has been a defining asset allowing a daily swim or kayak. On arrival at the home, concealed entry doors double as louvre walls to create a sense of expectation. Inside, stylish attention to detail is evident at every turn with sightlines from the interior intrinsic to its contemporary coastal design. Intended as an all-embracing retreat for its owners, the main lounge and central dining spill seamlessly outside through floor to ceiling glazed doors that stack finely, like playing cards, to either end of the room. A feature that allows shifting sun and cool ocean breezes to stir the air.

The colour palette of black, white and green recedes and complements the natural environment and lush surrounds. Designed for minimal maintenance with elegant spaces and high specification finishes, this stunning residence is configured with two indoor living rooms, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, central kitchen, scullery, laundry room and an outdoor lounge book-ended by double vehicle garaging. Wide hardwood decking wraps the home, stepping down to multi-tiered landscaped seating areas and a large well-kept lawn fringed by foliage. In addition, an original garage & workshop with dedicated carpark and water views is set discreetly back from the action. Painted dove-grey, this gorgeous weatherboard cottage could easily convert to living accommodation, studio, boat-house or larger building.

Located between Algies Bay and Sandspit on the Matakana Coast and 67 kilometres north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, this gorgeous property presents to the market ‘as new’ with our vendors retiring south to be closer to family. Call Kellie now for further details and personal viewing options.
