33 Hihitahi Rise, Paihia, Far North, Northland

Picture this. The boat is parked in the drive, the sun is out from morning to night, and Te Haumi Bay stretches out in front of you all the way to Russell. Turn around and the view keeps giving, with private bush clad hills rolling away behind the house and sunsets that make every evening feel like an event. This is the lifestyle the current owners have cherished and now having made the decision to move on to their next chapter and travel the world, they are offering a rare opportunity for someone new to make it their own. For buyers seeking an exceptional position, unforgettable views, and the ultimate Bay of Islands lifestyle, this is a chance not to be missed.

Designed by Milton Going Architects and completed in 2018, this two level home is sharp, modern and built around the light and the views on every side. Open plan living flows straight out to a covered entertainers deck that soaks up sun for most of the day, the kitchen is a showpiece with premium appliances and a big island bench, and the master suite is its own private world with a deck, an electric awning and those endless bush views to enjoy at sunset.

Two more bedrooms mean plenty of room for family, guests or an Airbnb income stream that has already proven itself. Double glazing and a heat pump keep it comfortable year round, and outside the gorgeous, low maintenance gardens leave you with more time to enjoy the view and less time on the mower. Set on just under 1 ha of land, 9464 sq m in total, there is plenty of space here to ensure real privacy, most of it natural bush that looks after itself. The double carport and generous off street parking make room for the boat, the trailer and everything else that comes with coastal living, and there is even a plan available to enclose the carport and turn it into a garage for extra storage down the track.

Set privately above the bay in a quiet cul de sac, just minutes from Paihias cafes, beaches and boat ramps. Sun all day, sea views out front, bush and sunsets out back. The owners are ready to move on and they want offers now. Do not wait on this one.
