15 Kanuka Place, Mangawhai Heads, Kaipara

Small footprint, big style

This beautifully presented coastal retreat combines relaxed beachside living with contemporary style, where thoughtful design maximises every square metre. Two oversized glass stacker doors fill the open-plan living area with natural light, while the coastal-inspired kitchen features a textured tiled splashback that adds both character and practicality.
Opening onto wraparound decking on two sides, the central living space seamlessly connects indoors and out, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, summer barbecues, or simply unwinding after a day at the beach.
A fresh palette of soft blues and crisp whites enhances the laid-back coastal atmosphere, while two bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests. Large-format floor tiles throughout the living areas add a sense of space while offering durability and easy maintenance.
Positioned just 450 metres from the estuary, the property also enjoys easy access to the area's many attractions. The patrolled surf beach, Picnic Bay, the iconic clifftop walkway, and the vibrant Wood Street cafes, shops and restaurants are all within an easy 15-minute stroll.
The generous section provides ample room for tents, caravans, boats, and backyard games, making it equally suited as a permanent residence, holiday home, or investment property. A proven Airbnb track record adds immediate appeal, while the existing minor dwelling positioned at the rear of the site offers a ready-made accommodation solution and creates flexibility for future development of the balance of the land.
With no restrictive covenants, the property presents outstanding potential for those seeking to landbank, develop, build new, or simply enjoy as it is. Whether you're searching for a permanent coastal base, a lock-and-leave retreat, or a property with genuine scope to add value, this offering delivers lifestyle and opportunity in equal measure.
Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys minimal traffic, little light pollution, and a peaceful atmosphere where star-filled skies and the distant sound of breaking waves become part of everyday life. Private yet central, it truly offers the best of both worlds.
