A Private Coastal Sanctuary

Set within the exclusive, gated Tapuae Estate on Taranaki’s spectacular west coast, this architecturally designed passive home offers something truly special – a peaceful, private haven where the beauty of nature takes centre stage.

Sheltered from the prevailing winds and surrounded by native bush, the home enjoys sweeping Tasman Sea views, all-day sun and a remarkable sense of tranquillity. Here, birdsong provides the soundtrack to everyday life, with native birdlife drawn to the garden and flax flowers just beyond your window. It is a place to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the rare luxury of feeling completely removed from the world.

Contemporary architecture and bespoke industrial detailing are beautifully balanced by natural materials and inviting spaces. The designer kitchen and dining area open to expansive outdoor living, while two distinct lounges offer a choice of relaxed entertaining or quiet retreat. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, with panoramic coastal outlooks, a walk-through robe and a beautifully appointed ensuite.

Designed for year-round comfort, the home combines superior insulation, thermally broken PVC joinery and advanced air filtration with a thoughtful connection to its natural surroundings.

Life at Tapuae extends beyond the home itself, with private beach access, tennis courts, a community pavilion, walking tracks through native landscapes and shared ownership of the surrounding working farm. All this, while the seaside village of Ōakura is just five minutes away and New Plymouth approximately ten minutes north.

A rare offering for those who value privacy, security, architectural distinction and an exceptional connection to nature, this is more than a home – it is a place to truly retreat.
