SATORI SERENITY

Passing through the gates, the outside world gently fades away. A winding driveway leads beneath towering Kahikatea, Kauri and Rimu, forming a living cathedral that filters dappled sunlight as you arrive. The canopy opens to reveal a breath-taking 180 degree panorama of rolling farmland, native bush and the mighty Kaipara Harbour.

At the heart of the property sits a beautifully restored 1920s Kauri cottage, rich in New Zealand maritime history. Originally built alongside the renowned Salthouse boat-building yard, the home once housed shipwrights, spar-makers and sail-makers – craftsmanship and heritage woven into its very bones.

This fully renovated cottage offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a generous master suite with a modern ensuite, with scope to add a third bedroom if desired. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to frame the extraordinary views and flows seamlessly into the open-plan living and dining areas, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining indoors and out.

Complementing the home is a crafted double garage/carport designed to honour the cottage’s 1920s character, along with a substantial shed ideal for storage or workshop use.

Among the many special touches is an outdoor claw-foot bath with its own heating—an indulgent retreat where you can soak beneath the sky and truly unwind.

The elevated position commands a stunning, private 180 degree outlook across sparkling harbour waters, tranquil farmland, and sunsets that ignite the sky in colour.

All this, just minutes from the charming village of Paparoa and its renowned Farmers Market, and within easy driving distance of Mangawhai’s surf beach and village plus exceptional fishing spots.

A rare lifestyle property offering beauty, heritage, and a deep sense of calm.
