McAuslin Road, Sandy Bay, Whananaki, Northland

Nestled at the end of a 3-kilometre private road, this remarkable 6-hectare waterfront estate offers unrivaled seclusion. The estate boasts a private beach nestled between two picturesque peninsulas. 

Despite being 20 years old, the house is meticulously designed for contemporary living. It sits at the heart of the beach and features multiple decks enveloping the living space. 

The primary residence contains the main living areas and a modern kitchen, complete with sheltered decks for barbecues and an outdoor fireplace, thoughtfully shielded from most weather conditions. This portion of the house also houses the luxurious master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Connected to this section via the sheltered decks are three individual bedrooms and a shared bathroom, providing comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 10 family members or guests. 

A unique aspect of this beautiful house is the protected outdoor living spaces, providing a haven regardless of the weather.
Additionally, the property boasts a private beach inaccessible to the public unless by boat. During high tide, it transforms into a pristine sandy swimming spot, while at low tide, the exposed rock pools have an abundance of marine life.

This coastline is a beautiful environment for canoeing or kayaking on calm days and fishing right off the beach. It's the perfect setting for a "sea legs" to embark on fishing adventures, whether heading out to the Elizabeth Reef or setting course directly for the Poor Knights.
