Residential -
Commanding breathtaking views over a secluded turquoise bay, a subtle coastal retreat on the Tutukaka Coast beautifully merges modern elegance with the untamed natural beauty of one of New Zealand’s most iconic coastal landscapes.
Designed to blend seamlessly into its stunning natural surroundings, this newly completed residence invites its next steward to experience an elevated lifestyle where nature, design and community converge.
Set on 1.313ha (more or less) of pristine coastal land with riparian rights to the bay below, the expansive 400sqm (more or less) four-bedroom hideaway boasts a unique architectural footprint in Northland, with large subfloor storage, a triple garage purpose built to house an 8.5m trailer boat, and a fish filleting station to prepare the day’s catch right off the rocks.
The striking design of this home captures stunning views of the lush gully and sparkling coastline. Bayleys lifestyle and coastal specialist Sally Jordan notes that every outdoor area offers a perfect spot to admire the vast sweeping panorama of the Pacific Ocean.
“Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with light, offering uninterrupted views of Tawhiti Rahi, Aorangi, and the Poor Knights Island chain. Extra-large sliding doors lead to a sheltered courtyard and the infinity mineral pool, creating a harmony between the home and its stunning surrounds,” Jordan says.
Outdoor living takes on a new dimension at Dolphin Place. “With a pizza oven and a durable outdoor kitchen crafted from marine-grade materials, it’s the perfect setting to entertain family and friends.”
For ocean lovers, the private beach, accessible via a scenic forest track, offers a prime spot to dive for crayfish or fish right from the shore.
“Just minutes away, Tutukaka Marina is the gateway to one of the world’s premier dive sites, where boaties and divers can encounter dolphins, whales, and much more. This property truly places you at the entrance to a world-class marine playground,” Jordan says.
“The Tutukaka Coast boasts a vibrant, welcoming community, punctuated by 33 unique beaches, each with its own character waiting to be explored.
“Here at Dolphin Place, you’re not just acquiring a home but embracing a quintessentially New Zealand lifestyle rich in serene, natural beauty and endless adventure for generations to come.”
