Architecture in a protected landscape

There are houses that sit on a landscape, and those that belong to it. Designed by Fearon Hay Architects, The Long House is firmly the latter.

Set within the rural landscape of Kumeu, the house is defined by its long horizontal form, considered proportions and close relationship with its surroundings. Its architecture is deliberately restrained, allowing the materials and landscape to take precedence.

Stone, French oak and aged brass establish a rich, tactile palette, bringing warmth and quiet sophistication to the restrained architecture. Expansive glazing blurs the boundary between inside and out, creating a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape, while the swimming pool and outdoor terraces extend the living spaces beyond the home.

Beyond the house, a substantial barn, stables, arena, post-and-rail fencing and a tranquil stream contribute to an authentic rural lifestyle.

The relationship with the land extends beyond the architecture. Part of the property is subject to an ecological covenant protecting habitat and connectivity for the native long-tailed bat, or Pekapeka, one of New Zealand's most threatened native species.

This commitment to the natural environment adds another dimension to the property, helping preserve an important part of the landscape for future generations.

An agreement with the Crown for the acquisition of approximately 0.98 hectares has been settled subject to survey, supporting the long-term protection and enhancement of the natural environment. The arrangements form part of the wider planning for the proposed Alternative State Highway. Further information is available to prospective purchasers.

The Long House is a considered expression of New Zealand architecture, shaped by its surroundings and set within a landscape protected for future generations.

Build your coastal escape

Rarely do sections of this calibre become available in the tightly held communities of Baddeleys Beach and Campbells Beach. Privately positioned and surrounded by native bush, this sunny and sheltered site offers the perfect canvas to create your dream home or idyllic weekend retreat.

A generous flat building platform provides flexibility for your vision, while the rear of the property unfolds into a peaceful native setting with a meandering bush path beneath mature trees. Wake to birdsong from resident kererū, tūī, pīwakawaka and kākā nesting in the surrounding canopy.

With no restrictive covenants, you have the freedom to bring your own design and build, subject to Council consent.

Enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle with both Baddeleys and Campbells Beach within walking distance, plus direct access across the road to the water's edge. Just ten minutes from Matakana Village, the renowned farmers' markets, boutique shopping and dining, and only five minutes from the pristine shores of Tāwharanui Regional Park and ten-minutes from Omaha beach.

Sections in this sought-after bay are increasingly scarce. Bring your inspiration and secure a special piece of the Tawharanui Peninsula, where community, nature and coastal living combine to create something truly exceptional.

At a glance:

• Section available in tightly held Campbells Beach.
• No restrictive covenants - build your dream home (subject to Council consent).
• Private, sunny, and walking distance to Campbells Beach and Baddeleys Beach.
• Ten-minutes from Matakana village.

It is surplus to the owner's requirements. Purchase it before Christmas, and summertime "glamp", while you design your coastal retreat.

A Patch of Paradise

Picture the kids heading off to the swimming hole right next door after school. The ponies grazing in the paddock. Morning coffee on the large north facing deck, with nothing but bush views and birdsong. This is 1.8ha of private country living, wrapped in native bush, and it is ready for your family.

The Home:
The Lockwood interior flows easily, with kitchen, dining and living all connected in one open plan space. The kitchen has been recently upgraded with crisp white cabinetry and modern appliances. In the living room, a window seat looks straight out into the bush. Sliders open onto the deck and outdoor areas, so summer living spills straight outside. A wood burner keeps things cosy through winter, and an airflow system from the lounge to the master bedroom.
There are three good sized bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet and a large separate laundry. The master is a true retreat with its own private deck. New carpet throughout means you can move straight in. A sleepout adjoining the double garage adds flexibility, whether you need a home office, teenage hangout or space for guests.

The Land:
•Established grounds with safe space for children and pets
•Paddocks for a couple of ponies
•Native bush
•Access from the property to a swimming hole on neighbouring council land
•Shed and covered yards
•Plenty of off-street and hardstand parking
