84 Robert Hastie Drive, Mangawhai, Kaipara, Northland

After lovingly handcrafting an impressive 290sqm home to add to the existing 117sqm guest accommodation, my vendors now have their sights on a larger rural property and are very motivated to sell this luxury property.

Mangawhai is one of the fastest growing coastal communities in New Zealand, with people discovering the area's exceptional beaches, international golf courses and facilities, all within 90 minutes' drive from Auckland. The property is perfectly positioned in The Sanctuary Estate, an impressive, gated community of almost 500 acres, including 190 acres of pristine native forest where kiwis live and is only accessible for Sanctuary residents.

Discover for yourself this exceptional luxury lifestyle property set on just over one hectare of landscaped grounds. With sweeping views across the bush, tennis courts, and a peaceful lake, this spacious property offers a unique blend of privacy, elegance, and high-end luxury.

With 400sqm (more or less) of quality buildings, the main home features three generously sized bedrooms, a dedicated office, a media room, and a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. A raked ceiling of up to 3.2-metre high, adds to the home’s spacious elegance. Large windows and ranch sliders frame the landscape and allow natural light to flood the interior. Superb indoor-outdoor flow connects seamlessly to expansive decks.

Separate from the main residence, the detached guest accommodation provides exceptional versatility for extended family, guests, or perhaps a live in caretaker. It includes two bedrooms, a generous open-plan living area, a stylish bathroom, full laundry facilities plus a single garage.

The Sanctuary is the closest lifestyle subdivision to Mangawhai Heads surf beach and is also an easy drive to Langs Beach and Waipu Cove, all impressive beaches on this stretch of the Pacific coastline. The area is also a golfer's paradise with Tara Iit, Te Arai links, and Mangawhai Golf Courses all close by.

The Sanctuary offers outstanding amenities, including two tennis courts, a children’s playhouse, a productive olive grove, and scenic walking trails winding through the native bush. All this in a very friendly and secure gated community with surprisingly low annual residents' association fees.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a remarkable property in one of the country's most desirable lifestyle locations.
