Welcome to 66 Karekare Road – a serene haven tucked away in one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking coastal enclaves. Redesigned by acclaimed local architect Peter Joyce and lovingly maintained by the same family for nearly four decades, this enchanting home is a rare fusion of thoughtful design and timeless character.
Set across two lush, landscaped titles, the property is a peaceful sanctuary immersed in nature. Mature fruit trees, vibrant vegetable gardens, and established native plantings surround the home, while a nearby stream and private swimming hole add to the tranquil, almost magical atmosphere. Birdsong fills the air, and the surrounding bush offers total privacy – it’s the ultimate escape from the everyday.
Step inside and feel instantly at home. Character features such as leadlight windows, soaring vaulted ceilings, and polished wooden floors exude warmth and charm. The layout is both inviting and practical, with two generous double bedrooms and a sunlit open-plan kitchen and dining area that’s perfect for entertaining. Enjoy garden views from the cosy window alcove, or unwind in the separate living room beside the wood-burning fireplace.
A single garage provides secure storage and off-street parking, adding to the property’s convenience and functionality.
Whether you’re after a full-time lifestyle change or a peaceful weekend retreat, this home offers the best of both worlds. It’s a short stroll to the iconic Karekare Falls and the dramatic black sands of Karekare Beach – a renowned surf destination and a favourite among nature lovers. Hiking trails, bush walks, and scenic coastal lookouts are all within easy reach.
All this, just around 45 minutes from Auckland’s CBD.
Comfort, character, and calm in a spectacular setting – 66 Karekare Road invites you to experience relaxed coastal living at its finest.
