Commanding sweeping views across the Mangawhai Estuary, dunes and out to sea, 43 Olsen Avenue is a substantial coastal retreat designed for holidays, entertaining and effortless time by the water.

Set across three levels, this cedar-clad home makes the most of its elevated position, with ever-changing views captured from every floor. The light-filled, open-plan living area flows onto expansive decking, creating an exceptional setting for long summer lunches, sunset drinks and relaxed gatherings with family and friends.

The outdoor entertaining continues with a dedicated barbecue area complete with a pizza oven, perfect for making the most of Mangawhai’s enviable coastal climate.

Offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. Upstairs, the master suite provides a private retreat with its own ensuite, balcony and elevated water views. The versatile lower level includes a generous games room, rumpus or media space and additional sleeping zones, providing plenty of room for extended stays and busy holiday weekends.

Multiple heat pumps and a wood burner ensure year-round comfort, while upgraded decking and retaining add to the home’s practicality and presentation.

With the estuary and Mangawhai Heads surf beach within walking distance, days here can begin on the water and end watching the changing colours across the coastline. Cafés, walking tracks, local amenities and some of New Zealand’s finest golf courses are also within easy reach.

Equally appealing as a permanent coastal home, family escape or holiday rental opportunity, 43 Olsen Avenue offers space, flexibility and a front-row position from which to enjoy the Mangawhai lifestyle.

For those seeking an additional property or broader investment opportunity, neighbouring 9 Mangawhai Heads Road, set on approximately 1,501 sq m and currently operating as a holiday rental, is also available to purchase.
