There are homes that simply provide a place to live, and then there are homes that offer an entirely different way of life.

Privately positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the exclusive Headland Farm Park, this beautifully renovated home occupies a truly special position. Sweeping harbour views stretch towards Parua Bay, the rolling greens of The Pines Golf Course unfold below, and all-day sun, privacy and space create an incredible setting to call home.

North-facing and sheltered from the prevailing winds, this is a home designed around its surroundings. Mornings begin with spectacular sunrises over the harbour, while evenings are best spent on the deck as the last of the sun disappears across the landscape. The outlook is ever-changing and becomes part of everyday life here.

At the heart of the home, generous open-plan living is relaxed, warm and welcoming. The kitchen takes in the bay views, while the living spaces connect effortlessly with the expansive wrap-around decking. A separate lounge with wood burner provides a cosy retreat, complemented by recycled rimu flooring, quality carpeting and freshly painted interiors.

Made for entertaining and equally suited to quiet evenings at home, the outdoor living is exceptional. Long lunches on the deck, summer evenings with friends, or simply stepping from the master suite onto your private deck and into the hot tub as the sun goes down.

Three generous double bedrooms include a spacious master with ensuite and direct deck access. The family bathroom offers a clever dual layout with separate shower and toilet facilities alongside a large bath and vanity.

Extensively upgraded over the past 12 months, the home is ready to simply move in and enjoy. A bi-facial solar system helps keep power costs low, while the easy-care grounds make this an equally appealing permanent residence or effortless lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat.

Outside, established organic vegetable gardens and an impressive orchard of fig, banana and pear trees are joined by newly planted stone and subtropical fruits. Expansive decking leads to the six-metre heated swim spa, a self-cleaning endless pool offering year-round swimming and exercise from the comfort of home.

The double internal-access garage incorporates workshop space and is complemented by an adjoining multipurpose room, ideal for hobbies, additional storage or a home gym. An automated entrance gate and generous parking provide ample room for vehicles and an RV.

Then there is Headland Farm Park itself.

Spanning 112 hectares between Onerahi and Parua Bay and shared by just 82 owners, this remarkable coastal community offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. A private beach and boat ramp, native bush walks, a community orchard and beautiful shared farmland are all yours to enjoy, with the grounds cared for by a dedicated farm manager.

From your own pathway, step directly onto the golf course. Wander down to the beach. Launch the boat for a morning on the harbour. Or stay exactly where you are, pour a drink, take in the view and wonder why you would ever want to leave.

Private, sun-filled and surrounded by some of Northland's most beautiful coastal and rural scenery, this is more than a home in an exceptional location. It is the kind of lifestyle people spend years looking for.
