  • Unique Sanctuary on Mill Bay Waterfront

This utterly unique and thoughtfully designed three level 4 bedroom / 4 bathroom home enjoys a picturesque setting on the Mill Bay waterfront in the historic seaside settlement of Mangonui. Almost every room in this house offers views over the crystal-clear waters of the bay, with boats bobbing in the tide, seabirds foraging, and the dark forested contours of Rangikapiti reserve rising up in the distance.

Designed to make entertaining guests and accommodating friends an absolute delight, this home features impressive kitchen and dining/living areas, a large seaward facing deck, luxurious bedrooms with ensuites, and the option of a self-contained apartment downstairs.

The main entrance leads from a covered rear carport into open plan living on the second level. This space accommodates a cosy entry lounge, gourmet kitchen with breathtaking views and a designer breakfast/entertainment bar, bifold doors opening to a pagoda covered deck, and a dining area that opens up to a sheltered side deck surrounded by palm trees and subtropical gardens.

A discrete hallway to the rear of the living area leads to a double bedroom with access to a private rear garden and the sheltered side deck, the main bathroom, a laundry with exterior access, and the stairs to the upper level.
Upstairs are two matching master bedrooms with superb sea views, a shared sunroom deck, walk-through wardrobes and luxurious ensuite bathrooms with baths and walk-in showers.

The apartment downstairs is totally independent with its own private access, a gravelled parking bay out front, a sheltered outdoor entertainment area, open plan living inside, a full kitchen, double bedroom with bay views, bathroom, an internal access garage, and also includes a concrete floor between the apartment and the next level. This downstairs space could be used to accommodate guests, rented out independently, or used as alternative accommodation to enable holiday rental of the main house. Surrounding grounds have been tastefully landscaped to create a lush subtropical feel.

Properties of this calibre in such a sought-after location rarely come up for sale so do not miss your opportunity to secure this superb coastal retreat for yourself.
