Journey to Paradise - Nook Bay House

Nestled within the heart of the tranquil Whangarei Heads, an area that intertwines the charm of towering mountains with the serenity of white sand beaches, lies Nook Bay House, an architectural masterpiece with sophisticated structural elements that eloquently converse with the surrounding natural tapestry. Anchored at the secluded end of The Nook, this breathtaking property spans 400 meters of prime North-facing waterfront land.

Exhibiting discreet and humble elegance, as well as a sense of spatial awareness and flow, Nook Bay House demands attention with its ability to bask in the sun from sunrise to sunset. Enhanced by a palette of rich tones and textures, the seamless interplay of concrete, premium wood, and gunmetal finishes creates a captivating and harmonious rhythm.

Stretching an impressive 32.5m in length, every inch of the living and bedroom spaces soaks in the mesmerising 200-degree harbour view that acts as a perpetually morphing canvas, portraying the ever-changing scenery of boats, birds, and aquatic life, with occasional appearances by dolphins and orcas. The heart of this linear home is undeniably its central section, with an impressive Origami-inspired folded kwila ceiling soaring above the open-plan living and kitchen area.

Spanning 3.5 acres, the property unfolds with low-maintenance landscaping, an inviting in-ground swimming pool, a separate studio, a spacious shed, a workshop, and private access to Nook Bay, complete with its own 12m 2.5-tonne swing mooring. Celebrated among yacht enthusiasts as a haven offering tranquility and shelter, Nook Bay hosts an array of ocean-going yachts and launches.

Homes of this caliber, boasting such precise ergonomic attention to detail, and positioned in an unparalleled location, seldom grace the market.
