North-Facing Coastal Estate Overlooking Piha Beach
Set on 2,378 square metres of north-facing elevated coastal land, this exceptional Piha residence commands uninterrupted 270-degree views stretching across South Piha, the full arc of North Piha Beach, and inland toward the forested Anawhata ridgeline. Positioned in a true front-line coastal setting just moments from the sand, the home balances proximity to the shoreline with a sense of elevation and privacy above the movement of the beach below.
The 170 square metre residence is thoughtfully oriented to maximize light, outlook, and flow. Approximately 150 square meters of decking wrap the western, northern, and eastern elevations, creating multiple outdoor living zones that follow the sun throughout the day. The protected rear terrace is particularly inviting, sheltered from prevailing south-westerlies by both wings of the home, it remains warm and comfortable even when the beachfront is windswept. A spa pool offers a restful place to unwind after swimming or surfing, while long evenings naturally unfold across the decks as the light softens over the Tasman Sea.
Inside, two distinct living areas provide flexibility for gathering and retreat. The primary bedroom features a super-king bed, complemented by two additional queen bedrooms. A fourth bedroom includes a queen bed plus a king single positioned within the nook of a second lounge, offering adaptable sleeping arrangements for families or groups. The layout comfortably accommodates a range of guest configurations while maintaining privacy and ease.
The landscaped grounds are planted with hundreds of native species, reinforcing the connection to Piha’s dramatic bush setting. A staircase rises to the crest of the dune behind the home, revealing an elevated panoramic vantage point across the coastline and Lion Rock. The backyard includes a children’s fort with bridge and slide, along with a dedicated fish filleting bench and generous off-street parking, rare for Piha, including ample space for boat parking. A robot vacuum and mower operate discreetly to maintain the home and grounds throughout your stay.
Practical beach living is elevated through thoughtful design. A distinctive indoor-outdoor shower with direct internal access allows guests to step from the sand into the shower and directly into the home, preserving comfort while minimizing sand. The property sits near the Piha Surf Life Saving Club, with the patrolled flagged swimming area often directly in front, yet the elevation ensures composure and remove. Cafés, the surf club, RSA, tennis courts, playground, and local gallery are all within a short stroll, while the home itself remains a calm, expansive coastal sanctuary.
