12 Ivy Lane, Mangawhai Heads, Kaipara, Northland

Hidden at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Mangawhai Heads' best kept secrets. 12 Ivy Lane is more than a home-it's your own private base for coastal living, complete with estuary access, room for all the toys, and spaces designed for total comfort.

Set on a flat site in a tightly held enclave of just ten homes, this property is ideal for families, entertainers, or anyone chasing that perfect balance between nature and modern convenience. With direct access to the estuary via a shared private track, your mornings might start with a paddleboard, a kayak, or jumping on the jetskis right from the shore. It's all just a few steps away.

The location couldn't be better. Just a short stroll from your front door, you'll find the Mangawhai Activity Zone-a fantastic space for kids and adults alike with skate ramps, a playground, pump tracks, and sports courts. A few more minutes' walk takes you to Mangawhai's popular cafés, boutique shops, weekend markets, and local restaurants, giving you everything you need within easy reach. Whether you're after a great coffee, dinner with friends, or a quick trip to the store, it's all right here.

Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully laid out. There are four generous bedrooms, including a private master suite with its own fully tiled ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are well sized and share two stylish bathrooms, also tiled for a clean, modern finish.

The main living area is open and airy, thanks to the high-stud ceilings and large windows that let the natural light flood in. The kitchen is built for real life-with loads of bench space, quality appliances, and an expansive walk-in pantry that keeps everything tucked away but within easy reach. It flows into a spacious lounge and dining zone that opens straight onto a large covered outdoor entertaining area-perfect for long lunches, evening BBQs, or just relaxing with a wine as the sun dips below the horizon.

Beyond the main living space, you'll find a dedicated wellness room-ideal for yoga, a home gym, or a quiet retreat-as well as a separate games room for the kids (or the adults). Whether you're hosting a crowd or just enjoying quiet weekends, there's space for everyone to unwind.

Storage and parking are no issue here. The triple car garage offers more than enough room for vehicles, surfboards, beach gear, and boats. Fully furnished and styled with comfort in mind, you can move straight in or set it up as an effortless holiday getaway.

The section is easy-care, and the secure gated setting gives you peace of mind whether you're here full-time or popping in for weekends. With estuary adventures at your doorstep, surf beaches just minutes away, and all of Mangawhai's best amenities just down the road, this is a lifestyle few properties can offer-and even fewer in such a tightly held community.
