33 Rua Road, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

Tara Crest is celebrated for its privileged position amid some of Mangawhai's most captivating scenery. With only a select few neighbouring residences, this exceptional property enjoys both location and an ever-changing natural backdrop.

Privately positioned, this enchanting home enjoys an elevated, north facing site of 1.35 hectares (more or less).

Designed to honour its remarkable surroundings, the home's open-plan living area is a triumph of light and aspect. Expansive windows and doors have been positioned to frame views in every direction, creating seamless visual connections to the landscape beyond. The crisp Hamptons-inspired aesthetic blends modern sophistication with warmth, enhanced by plantation shutters and elegant ceiling fans. Pitched ceilings add architectural drama, whilst Caesarstone benchtops and an oversized island anchor the kitchen in style. A spectacular picture window at the end of the room transforms the outdoors into a living artwork.

An office or study is conveniently located off the main living zone, whilst beyond this lies a versatile second lounge, currently configured as a media room but could easily be a sixth bedroom, offering flexibility for families of all stages. A powder room and well equipped laundry showcase quality tiling and hardware, proving that even functional spaces here are crafted with care.

A wide hallway leads to five generous double bedrooms, each light-filled and offering ample storage. The family bathroom features a clever, highly practical layout and the master suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with an ensuite boasting both a bath and a spacious walk-in shower. Throughout the home, a calming neutral palette creates a sense of understated elegance.

Most rooms link to the extensive sun-drenched deck, creating a natural extension of the living space. The deck grants access to a fabulous 9x4 metre heated swimming pool, the perfect place for barbecues, kids playing and friends lounging.

Step down to the manicured lawns and wander through landscaped gardens, where clusters of New Zealand natives provide texture and form and Flame Trees in bloom deliver seasonal brilliance. Beyond the boundary, a shared residents' bush block offers an array of walking tracks to explore and enjoy.

With a double internal access, garage, carport, ample off-street parking, space for a shed and excellent under-house storage, this refined lifestyle retreat promises fulfilment for the discerning buyer. To truly appreciate the scenery and serenity on offer, a personal viewing is highly recommended.
