Whara Way Whangarei District Application ON EARTH

Located in the increasingly popular Taiharuru the property has commanding elevated views north towards Tutukaka including Poor Knights, Barriers, Mokohinaus, Hen & Chickens, and then all the way down towards Tawharanui.

Riparian rights allow you to venture to the water’s edge with wonderful fishing, staircases, and access to private coves to explore, rock pools to cool down in, and a short hop to the stunning Ocean Beach for surfing. The seclusion of the Taiharuru area and proximity to airports, and cities make it an attractive proposition to families, returning Kiwis and of course those wanting secure what can only be described as an opportunity of a lifetime.

THE GLASSHOUSE:

Nestled intimately amongst a forest of ancient pohutukawa, glass, steel, and timber merge to create The Glasshouse. Designed by Paul Clarke, combines cutting-edge architecture with panoramic views of one of the country’s most picturesque settings with the breathtaking outdoor fireplace and exclusive rock pools. Offering a separate glass-walled bath house that overlooks the bush and sea.

TE WHARA:

Designed by Andrew Patterson Te Whara is a powerful statement building with rural shed themes. Accommodating up to seven people with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, generous living spaces, a separate sleep-out, a large flat lawn area, and access to its own private cove.

Further to this for the buyer interested in adding their own mark, consent has been obtained to construct a luxury third house in what can only be described as a dream landscape atop the property.

Ross Hawkins: Auckland, Queenstown and Beyond

Hawkins is known as much for his big sales in Auckland as in the regions - he’s built a substantial sales history in his 23 years in the business.

He started with the sell-down of the Omaha Southland development project for John Darby from 1999-2002, and the Princes Wharf Development for David Henderson and his Kitchener Group Team in 1999-01.

Throughout his career, Hawkins says he has set many record prices in a number of New Zealand markets. He prides himself on the confidentiality of his client base, who he says have the confidence in his ability to maximise their values should they decide to make a change.

“I specialise in the coastal and lifestyle market - as well as quality high-end homes and apartments across Auckland. The multimillion-dollar client base is much the same for these different sectors of the market. My high net-worth clients in Auckland also buy and sell properties on the coast north of Auckland and in the Queenstown Lakes District.”

Hawkins says the mix makes his business more interesting and robust as he can move with market trends and focus more in the sectors that are the most active at any point in time.

It has been lucrative. He owns properties in Queenstown and Wanaka and waterfront properties in Matapouri on the Tutukaka Coast and on Rakino Island, which he says allows him to have good work/life balance, spending time in the various locations while also working.

In 2012, he sold Parihoa Farm in Muriwai, the architectural masterpiece by Andrew Patterson, for $6.25m, which he says was a record then for the area.

The buyer, global entrepreneur Matt Chapman, who has spent time with Richard Branson on his private island, has gone on to further enhance the property and set up Parihoa to use for events and a wellbeing retreat. Hawkins says Chapman has gone on to buy neighbouring properties for increased accommodation. Parihoa appears on many TV programmes, films and ads.

In 2017, Hawkins says he sold Eric Watson’s property Te Hihi Estate in Karaka for more than $14m.

Much of the real estate sold by the multi-million dollar maestros are often rented out by visiting big-name Hollywood celebrities, and mega-star Adele stayed at Te Hihi during her sold-out concerts in 2017.

ut it doesn’t always go to plan. That same year Hawkins says he signed a deal on Te Rere Estate in Church Bay on Waiheke Island for $22.5m, with one of the world’s richest men.

“The deal required NZ Overseas Investment Office, (OIO), approval from the New Zealand Government due to the purchaser being from offshore. After a painstaking almost two-year process, the approval came through on the basis the purchaser’s name would be made public,” says Hawkins.

But the purchaser wanted to remain private and the deal fell over. Hawkins says the rigmarole was unfortunate for his vendor, as the property went back to market twice and was eventually sold by another agency for a lot less.

Hawkins says he recently sold a property in Queenstown which is yet to be built.

“I achieved a record price for a residential home in Queenstown of $25.75m. The home will be in an absolutely private setting overlooking Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak Station,” he says.

“Repeat business is the key to being at the top of your game in real estate and if your clients have a great experience dealing with you then there is no reason why they won’t come back again when they are ready to transact.”

He says his network is the key that helped him in 2020, during lockdowns and the strict rules around selling homes. In that time, he managed to sell the Arney Rd, Daniel Marshall-designed residence once owned by former All Blacks’ captain Sean Fitzpatrick for more than $10m.

“The local family who purchased have since gone on to fully remodel the home and add onto it which, once completed, will have it sitting in the circa $20m price range,” says Hawkins.

“Buyers are very happy to invest huge money in their family homes in the best locations as they are always going to get it back, if not now at least over time.”

Hawkins likes to sell properties that have the X Factor. He is currently marketing a substantial coastal property on an entire peninsula on the Tutukaka Coast. He says the property has four houses and farm buildings behind two security gates.

“The main house is 2000sqm and was built over five

years using two cranes. The stonework alone on the exterior took three years to complete. To construct today, it has been recently costed in the $25+ million range. The main living room itself is bigger than most family homes. It’s one of those properties you need to see to believe.”

Hawkins is taking offers between $10-$15m before Christmas.
