A massive Beazley family estate in Mount Maunganui is for sale for the first time in 70 years. It is the largest private landholding on the beachfront, a 4866m² property on Oceanbeach Road spanning three freehold titles.

Purchased by Beazley Homes founder Barry Beazley in the 1950s, the estate features the original home which once served as an early show home. The true value now lies in the land, presenting a rare development opportunity.

Flashback: The Beazleys’ home was an enviable property with a beautiful terraced garden and resort-style pool.

Miss New Zealand contestants paraded beside the pool in the 1960s. It was one of the first such pools to appear in New Zealand.

The original 1950s Beazley house remains - it served as a show home for the company in the early days. Barry and Doreen Beazley had their wedding breakfast here

The triple section is the last undeveloped plot in this part of the beach.

A fence defines the boundary between the Beazley land and the sand dunes.

And this is what it’s all about - the sweeping coastline of one of New Zealand’s most popular surf beaches on the East Coast.
