14 Wood Pigeon Lane, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

Presenting a quietly brilliant architectural escape of scale and privacy positioned moments from Northland’s celebrated golf coastline, including Tara Iti and Te Arai links. A meticulous renovation at the hands of James Durcan Architecture has resulted in a beautiful yet functional residence within easy reach of the Mangawhai beaches and village amenities.

On a sprawling 4.05 hectare parcel of premium land and completed five years ago, the property exudes craftsmanship and understated luxury from the very first moment. Every amenity, material and design choice reflects an unwavering commitment to quality and detail, so it’s no surprise it has featured in Homestyle magazine.

The light filled layout extends outwards from the elegant entrance, with two distinct wings. In the main open plan living and dining domain, lashings of natural light, American oak flooring, multiple skylights and a carefully curated palette create a sense of lightness and harmony, while the north facing aspect captures spectacular panoramic rural vistas across Mangawhai and the Brynderwyns.

Entertaining is elevated from the unique Japanese-inspired kitchen, combining form and function in perfect balance with American oak cabinetry, Caesarstone Primordia benchtops, a beautiful tiled hidden scullery/pantry and a second basin for produce that adds charm. Flow effortlessly to the extensive decking with architectural uplighting, a built in outdoor fireplace and pizza oven for seamless year round hosting, while a dedicated second lounge/media retreat and guest powder room amplify comfort.

The primary wing is a masterclass in sanctuary living beneath a pitched timber ceiling and featuring glazing that frames the gorgeous rural outlook. A luxe ensuite comes with custom Kauri vanities and raw concrete double basins, while both spaces enjoy large sliding doors to an outdoor double sized cedar clad bath with ambient lighting. Two additional bedrooms positioned away from the master for privacy share a family bathroom.

The secondary wing encompasses a semi detached guesthouse featuring a walk through wardrobe and lovely ensuite, perfect for visiting family and friends.

Serenity is assured with approx 1.5 hectares of established native bush, walking trails teaming with birdlife, three paddocks and even your own spring fed lake, while large vegetable gardens are well-established and ready for harvest.

The property offers exciting scope for future enhancement, with ample space to explore additional accommodation options such as guest lodges or cabins thoughtfully integrated into the rural landscape. The potential here is limited only by imagination.

On a quiet rural lane just minutes from the village, golf courses and beaches, this is the ultimate lifestyle.
