Family compound for summer; listed for first time
Two properties that step down the hill at Piha, create one large family compound.
AI summary
A unique Piha family compound, Piha Tironui, is for sale for the first time. Spanning two titles, the property features a main "barn" residence and three modern cabins designed by Eco Space using sustainable SIPS panels.
This flexible layout is perfect for large families or as a home with Airbnb income potential. Key amenities include a static swim pool, spa, sauna, and solar panels. Marketed by Ray White, the property is sold mostly furnished, offering a move-in-ready coastal retreat.
This wide view shows the “barn”, the main residence at the top left, which was completed in 2017. Solar panels on the roof of the barn provide most of the power the house needs, with extra power sold back to the national grid.
And this is the view from the Canadian cedar barrel sauna - the owners describe it as the “best view from a sauna in New Zealand”.
Steps and pathways lead around the properties, and are set amid bush. The owners say they got rid of a lot of self-sown introduced plants, such as agapanthus. They recently planted 100 flax plants.
The “barn” family residence has large garage doors that can be rolled down when the owners are away.
The owners have added several health amenities, including a gymnnasium, sauna, spa and the pools.
Now you see the fold-down bunk beds in the main room...
... and now you don’t. The beds tuck back up into the wall when not in use.
‘Bittersweet decision to list’
The cabins are usually occupied by guests when the family is not using them.
There’s a small swivel table beside the sofa in this cabin.
A double bed is slightly elevated to provide a view out to sea.
And this is the roof deck, which offers 360 degree views.
