A Private World. A Remarkable Waterfront Legacy.
Here, the outside world feels wonderfully distant. Surrounded by established gardens, native bush and magnificent coastal scenery, the property commands breathtaking views across the sparkling waters of the Bay of Islands.

The architecture celebrates its extraordinary surroundings. Warm Rimu floors, beautiful Kauri ceilings and bespoke leadlight windows create a sense of timeless craftsmanship, while generous living spaces connect effortlessly with extensive decking and the spectacular coastal setting.

Every element reflects a residence designed to be enjoyed, beautifully maintained and treasured across generations.

Yet it is the remarkable access to the water that truly distinguishes this property.

One of just three properties enjoying access to a secluded beach, this is a coastal haven where privacy is part of everyday life. With public access limited by the natural rocky shoreline, or otherwise arriving by boat, the beach retains a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare.

A private driveway leads directly down to the beach and boatshed, while two offshore moorings create an exceptional opportunity for those who appreciate the freedom of life on the water.

Imagine mornings exploring the coastline by boat, afternoons swimming in the bay and long summer evenings entertaining family and friends as the light fades across the water.

Architectural Character. Exceptional Space.
Designed to accommodate both family gatherings and peaceful escapes, the substantial seven-bedroom residence unfolds across two levels, offering an enviable balance of shared living spaces and private accommodation.

Four bathrooms provide convenience for extended family and guests, while generous living and dining areas form the heart of the home.

Beautiful native timbers and individually crafted leadlight windows bring warmth and character, while expansive decking creates a seamless transition to the outdoors.

Whether entertaining on a grand scale, welcoming generations of family or simply enjoying the luxury of doing very little, this is a home that adapts effortlessly to the occasion.

From the Water's Edge to a Hidden Waterfall.
Beyond the residence, the grounds reveal another extraordinary dimension of this coastal estate.

Mature gardens and established native bush create a beautiful sense of enclosure, enhancing both the privacy and natural character of the property.

A walkway winds through the upper reaches of the land towards a waterfall, offering a peaceful escape into the natural landscape.

Few coastal properties offer such a remarkable combination: a secluded beach at one end and a waterfall tucked away among the native bush at the other.

It is this connection with nature, together with the home's spectacular waterfront setting, that makes the property so exceptional.

The Ultimate Luxury Is the Freedom to Escape.
For those whose lives demand much of them, Parekura Bay offers something immeasurably valuable: the ability to disconnect from the everyday world.

A place to retreat without sacrificing comfort. To entertain without intrusion. To share with family and friends, yet find moments of complete tranquillity.
There is no need for extravagance here. The extraordinary surroundings provide their own quiet luxury.

After more than 40 years in the same family's hands, the opportunity to become the next custodian of this remarkable property has arrived. Some places are simply irreplaceable.
