4 Margaret Place, Hahei, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

Anchored above the turquoise waters and elevated on the cliffs of Hahei, this architectural showpiece designed by renowned New Zealand architect David Pointing, rises from its coastal setting with striking confidence. Every line, material, and detail has been carefully considered, creating a residence where contemporary design and natural beauty converge to form a retreat of rare distinction, while the reserve land along the frontage provides direct access to Hahei’s white sands, connecting you to the sea. Stepping inside, the entry makes an immediate statement. Polished concrete floors meet a soaring steel spine and cedar accents that flow seamlessly through all three levels. The upper level is the heart of the home where expansive glazing draws the eye to sweeping views across to Mahurangi and Motueka Islands and beyond. An open-plan living pavilion stretches towards the horizon, where a granite-clad kitchen and adjoining scullery stand as both functional and beautiful. Integrated appliances and hidden doors elevate entertaining to effortless artistry, while a spacious cedar-lined office allows work and creativity to unfold in privacy. Sunlight pours across oak floors, automated blinds respond at a touch, and a gas fireplace glows warmly as evenings draw in. Beyond sliding doors, a deck extends the living space outdoors, where the sea and sky create a dramatic stage for gatherings. Indulgence finds its truest form in the master suite. A sculptural pendant illuminates the cedar ceiling, while a window seat frames uninterrupted ocean vistas. Underfloor heating, dual basins, and heated mirrors add layers of quiet luxury. Downstairs, four additional bedrooms including a bespoke bunkroom with built-in bespoke king singles, ensure comfort for family and guests. A media lounge with built in Sonos sound system offers an intimate escape. Bathrooms feature European tiles with underfloor heating, rainhead showers, and elegant fittings, all designed with both beauty and ease in mind. Practicality is never overlooked, with additional features of a full separate laundry, abundant storage throughout the house, and a double internal access garage finished in marine-grade carpet, complemented by a separate alarmed boat garage. Outdoors, the property connects effortlessly with its environment. Low-maintenance native landscaping frames the home, while a surfboard rack, outdoor shower, and hot tub terrace celebrate the rhythm of coastal living, making every return from the sea a continuation of the day’s adventure. Located moments from Cathedral Cove and Hahei’s cafés, this home offers more than an address. It offers a lifestyle shaped by beauty, comfort, and the enduring allure of the Coromandel. Crafted to inspire, built to endure, and positioned to elevate every moment, this is a rare opportunity to secure a coastal masterpiece without compromise.
