Summer Road, Tinopai, Kaipara

Tucked along the serene shores of Kaipara Harbour, this remarkable 80.6614ha (approx.) coastal estate offers privacy, waterfront access, and exceptional potential-held by the same family for over 130 years. The land carries a rich history: the original homestead stood by the water over a century ago, and in the 1930s the current four-bedroom kauri home was built further inland. A major, fully consented modern extension has since added a sun-filled designer kitchen, seamless open-plan living, and a Metro Mega fireplace that warms the home and doubles as a slow-cooking firebox. A generous deck captures panoramic harbour views, while a second lounge with a classic Kent log fire offers an extra cosy retreat.Click on the following links for drone footage of the property.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSRirEoNFAwBeach Fly Aroundhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXOlBDQmpPw Short Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH254HAAh40 House Site (Ridge) Peninsula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxBDyo6v0Yk Altitude (Over all Beach Track, House etc... )Coastal lifestyle advantages include:Direct access to a private beachBoat launching area for small vesselsOutstanding fishing right at your doorstepWaterfront campsite serviced by spring-fed water-an idyllic off-grid getawayWater supply is from natural springs via a Tuhorse solar system feeding a 25,000L tank, with a second spring and multiple backup tanks.Farming features:Historically ran 25-30 cattle plus calves, 69-head cattle yards (installed 2021)Approx. 40% pasture / 60% native bush (Manuka, Kanuka, Macrocarpa for firewood)Chook house & runDevelopment possibilities are a standout with multiple prime building sites and sweeping harbour views.
