140 Lawson Drive Tutukaka, Whangarei District

Arguably the premium site on the coast for its breathtaking elevated ocean outlook, 140 Lawson Drive occupies the dramatic summit over Whau Point. Surveying the entire Ngunguru Bay to Bream Head the view is a collage of changing shorelines. The outer islands are clear on the seascape - Poor Knights, Hen and Chicks, Mokohinau, and the Barrier islands. With the white sands of Whangaumu Bay below the property we take in the 360 degree panorama from Ngunguru Village and the quiet estuary, all the way to the Tutukaka Harbour. A rare location - unquestionably good!

The vendor's own build in 2015, the home has been designed to a spectacular level. The asymmetric roofline uses steel beam construction requiring no internal wall support. It is fully aerodynamic, great for roof parties, and it just looks cool. If you are looking for a statement property outside the standard home design, this is a place that will continue to surprise you. The architecture is underscored by industrial level componentry - steel portals - 150mm framing - heavy duty aluminium double glazed joinery - Canadian Cedar weatherboards, silicone bronze nailing - R-rated insulation - this home is built like a warship with the sleek lines of a classy coastal retreat.

A house lot of 4,543 sqm gives a substantial land area on the ridge high-point. Charming walking paths wendle through the grounds connecting a range of private rooms with outdoor cooking facility, bathrooms and sauna. Fruit trees and veggie gardens complete picturesque surrounds. Located in a secure private gated community, there is a further 4,354 sqm area in common ownership. A walking loop around this lot accesses mature native bush with further dramatic ocean views.

The ocean below is a remarkable playbook of whales, orcas and dolphins along with all manner of seacraft from large ships to yachts and weekend fishermen. Changing with the weather from calm waters to the breathtaking drama of stormy seas - this home is unique in its grand outlook, exceptional construction and a location on a stretch of coast rated second equal for the most desirable places to visit on earth! (National Geographic Magazine). A step back in time here - a community that is small, friendly and welcoming.

Ngunguru Village, a scenic walk along the estuary beaches from Lawson Drive, is quaint and quiet. Providing shopping, schooling, doctors, sports complex for golf, bowls, tennis, it's a lovely seaside village on the sleepy shores of the Ngunguru Estuary beach front. Tutukaka is a hot spot for cafes and dining, and home to the Whangarei Deep Sea Anglers Club that provides entertaining or your chance at a big game fish.

We are only a short drive (around 30+ km) from the vibrant city of Whangarei, population approximately 100,000+. Tutukaka coast has some of the best beaches, finest people and just the best atmosphere for quiet coastal living. It's no wonder it is in such high demand.

There is a comprehensive property/design pack available on request that outlines much much more about this spectacular offering including detailed notes from the builder on the method of construction.
