5 Pohutukawa Road, Beachlands, Manukau City, Auckland, 2018, New Zealand

A masterclass in coastal living and a statement in itself, the quality here is plainly evident – and the result? A stunning beach pad that was completed in 2021 by Statesman Homes. A statement in itself, the quality here is plainly evident – and the result? The realisation of a dream home by the beach. With a total floor area of 280m2 situated on a 1227m2 freehold site, this home presents a large family living both inside and out. So why build new, when the vendors have done it for you.

Located in the highly sought after, tightly held Pohutukawa Road it has to be stressed that this home really is the epitome of beachside living. A multifunctional layout, comprising four bedrooms plus extra space for friends and family to crash if the need arises, by virtue of the fully insulated triple garage (the laundry in the garage can also function as a kitchenette). The master bedroom and extra-large fourth bedroom both have walk-in robes and ensuites, and the latter can be completely shut off and has its own access and private decking area. To the living zones, the open plan kitchen, living, and dining area lead directly out onto the outdoor entertaining area and back yard, where you’ll find there is ample space to add a pool if desired.

So, what about the aspect of peace? Well, you’re close enough to hear the waves as they meet with Shelly beach, at the bottom of Shelly Bay Reserve just one door down from no. 5. And with its private location, the serenity here is a given.

Complete with high-end appliances and a relaxed beach-style layout, every part of the home has been extremely well thought out. Our departing Vendors love the complete coastal lifestyle that the property provides, the benefit of its mature site, with its established trees and birdlife, the ample usable land – and, by virtue of its aforementioned location, the extension of their “back yard”, which is the beach just a minute or so away.
