Set across 47 hectares (more or less) of mature native forest and regenerating former farmland in the Brynderwyn Ranges, Mangawhai Heights is an extraordinary ecological enhancement project — a rare fusion of nature, privacy and lifestyle. Over decades, native bush has been allowed to flourish, attracting abundant native birds and creating a living sanctuary of exceptional beauty.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A location so rare, so protected, and so special that only a select few will ever have the privilege of calling it home.
North-facing and elevated, Mangawhai Heights is nestled within a tranquil native bush setting, overlooking the neighbouring Sanctuary lifestyle subdivision, with breathtaking views across offshore islands, breaking surf, and some of the finest sea vistas available in the area. Ancient kauri, native ferns and regenerating bushland form a dramatic natural backdrop, while tūī, kererū, fantails, and morepork create a symphony of birdsong.
Each site is positioned to capture 360-degree views, offering a sense of scale, privacy, and openness that is increasingly rare. The solid land foundations provide peace of mind for building your dream home, combining practicality with the elevated lifestyle and natural beauty of Mangawhai Heights.
From the moment you pass through the security gates, you enter a private world. A place where the pace slows, the air changes, and the connection to nature becomes immediate and immersive. This is not simply land — it is a lifestyle sanctuary. Stage One – Select Release (Subject to Titles) The first stage introduces three distinctive lifestyle Lots, each uniquely positioned to offer privacy, elevation, sweeping 360-degree views, and deep connection to the natural environment. Thoughtfully protected by covenants designed to safeguard both your investment and the ecological integrity of the land, Mangawhai Heights is being shaped as a truly boutique community — exclusive, private and future-proofed.

From the moment you enter the gated community, you are enveloped in nature — birdsong, greenery, and uninterrupted coastal vistas — with easy access to beaches, golf courses, cafes, wineries, and everything Mangawhai has to offer.
Mangawhai Heights is more than a subdivision — it is a legacy landscape, a private refuge, and a rare coastal sanctuary for those who value space, beauty, privacy, connection to nature, and a home built on solid, secure foundations.
