Perched on a private knoll within the prestigious gated community of Bream Tail Farm, this remarkable Fearon Hay–designed residence is a statement of modern minimalism and natural harmony. With its distinctive high-grade corrugated iron cladding, the home nods to the humble DOC hut while delivering an experience of absolute refinement — a design that both complements and elevates its breathtaking setting. Positioned for unrivalled privacy and sweeping 360-degree views, the home takes in an extraordinary panorama across Langs Beach, Whangārei Heads, the Hen and Chicken Islands, and the shimmering Mangawhai estuary and dunes. Expansive glazing draws the landscape into every room, creating a seamless flow between architecture and environment. Inside, a sense of calm prevails. The layout has been thoughtfully designed for ease of living — two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, open-plan living and dining, and a wood fire providing warmth and ambience through the cooler months. Understated elegance and timeless materials reflect Fearon Hay’s signature restraint, allowing the landscape to take centre stage. Beyond the home, Bream Tail Farm offers an unparalleled lifestyle — a private coastal estate of around 400 hectares, shared amongst a select few. Residents enjoy access to a beach lodge with swimming pool, a floodlit tennis court with pavilion, private beach access, and a network of walking tracks through regenerating native bush and farmland. With approximately half the land covenanted in conservation, native birdlife — including kiwi, kererū and tūī — flourishes once more. A rare convergence of architectural brilliance, coastal seclusion, and natural beauty — this is Mangawhai’s most exclusive address, and one of New Zealand’s most distinctive coastal sanctuaries.
