Two Houses, One Hilltop

The main house spans four wings across the hilltop. The guest house stands separate — 68m², fully independent. Below, Waimarama Beach curves into the Pacific.

Built for the Site, Not Despite It

200mm reinforced Hebel blocks, 500mm concrete ring beam, D12 steel rods. The rolling Hawke's Bay hills frame a house engineered for centuries.

The View From Bed

The water feature runs 400mm deep beside the seaview bedroom. Mirror-still at dawn, it reflects a Pacific sunrise you'd set an alarm for.

Built Into The Hill$6,3M to rebuild todaySea view property - With a life built around the view

Bay House sits on a geotechnically engineered building platform at 192 metres elevation. Six wings of reinforced Hebel block construction follow the natural hilltop contour across 1.5 hectares of elevated oceanfront land overlooking Waimarama Beach and the Pacific horizon.

The Pacific at Dawn

One of the sunniest regions in New Zealand. From Waimarama to the Mahia Peninsula, the Hawke's Bay coast stretches golden at dawn.

800 metres from shore, 192 metres up. You sit with your coffee and watch individual waves form, roll, and break. Elevated to see it all. Close enough to feel it.

Built to Outlast the Weather

500mm ring beam. 200mm Hebel walls. The deck survived Cyclone Gabrielle — 450mm rain, high winds, zero damage. The view is built to last.

192 metres above sea level. The kind of sky that makes you stop and watch. Below: the deck, the beach, Bare Island. Above: everything else.

How Bay House Was Built

From bare hilltop to finished sanctuary. Every stage done right.

The Ground Geotechnical investigation, platform engineering, stormwater design, and consents — years of work before a single block was laid.
The Structure 200mm reinforced Hebel block walls, 500mm ring beam, foundations to 900mm. European engineering on a New Zealand coast.
The Finish 293m of service ducts, 115 custom light boxes, 600m² of tongue-and-groove ceiling sanded, bleached, and sealed by hand. Twice.
The Land Over 1,000 native trees and shrubs planted across 1.5 hectares. A landscape built to shelter, screen, and belong to the hill.

Six years from bare hilltop to finished sanctuary. Every stage held to European engineering standards — proven by a decade of coastal weather.

590m² Across Three Wings

Six bedrooms. Five bathrooms. Three master suites. One hilltop.

A 590-square-metre coastal home on 1.5 hectares, 192 metres above the Pacific. Six bedrooms across three independent wings — main house, seaview suite, and self-contained guest house. Connected by walkways, a glass bridge, and 382m² of wrap-around deck.

Metres Above Sea Level

Every metre of elevation is a metre of privacy, security, and unobstructed view.

Bay House sits 192 metres above the Waimarama coastline on a geotechnically engineered platform. Flood-proof. Tsunami-proof. Sea-level-proof. Built into the hill, not on top of it.

The Morning the View Becomes Yours

Sea view property — where the Pacific sets the rhythm of every day.

The sound of waves below. Morning light through glass that wraps the entire house. Warmth underfoot, coffee in hand, the Pacific stretching to the horizon. Not a weekend away — just an ordinary morning.

Every Room Faces the SeaEnquiries over $4,500,000 · Fully furnished · Move-in readyOcean view home sale - 590m² across three wings — six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 382m² of panorama deck

Over 325 square metres of German Koemmerling double-glazed windows frame unobstructed ocean views from virtually every room. The tilt-and-turn system seals against coastal wind while nine-metre corner panoramas dissolve the boundary between interior warmth and Pacific light.

Degrees of Unbroken Coastline

From every room, every deck, every morning — 270 degrees of Pacific coastline.

From Waimarama BeachCape Kidnappers to Mahia Peninsula. No buildings, no power lines, no roads in sight. Just the Pacific Ocean wrapping around three quarters of your horizon.

270DegreesOfSilenceWhere the Pacific meets the sky, daily. Best seaside property for sale

Sweeping views encompass Waimarama Beach, Bare Island, the Mahia Peninsula and the endless Pacific horizon. At this elevation, the only sounds are waves, birdsong and wind through a thousand native trees planted by the owners across the 1.5-hectare site.

The Sunrise You Can't Ignore.

Brilliant orange sun, deep cobalt sky, birds crossing the frame. The kind of light that fills the kitchen and spills across the Salu-Salu island every single morning.

What the Coast Gives You

Not a view. A way of living shaped by light, air, sound, and unbroken horizon.

01
Sun and Moonrise Over Water: The Pacific delivers a private show — silver light tracing a line from horizon to deck, no audience but you.
02
Starry Darkness: No streetlights, no urban glow. The Milky Way is visible to the naked eye from the wrap-around deck.
03
Salt-Clean Air: 192 metres above the shoreline, above the fog, with nothing between you and the open ocean but clean Pacific air.
04
The Sound of Waves: Distant enough for peace, close enough to hear — the ocean is a constant, gentle presence.

There is a reason coastal homes command a premium that only grows. The sensory environment — light, air, sound, space — cannot be manufactured, replicated, or purchased separately. It comes with the address.

A Day at Bay House

No schedule. No curtains. Just the light telling you what time it is.

Dawn You don't set an alarm here. The horizon does it — a slow blush across 270 degrees of Pacific. The hydronic warmth is already underfoot.
Morning Espresso from the La Cimbali. Fresh rosemary from the hedge outside. The Atrium smells like basil and warm stone.
Afternoon Waimarama Beach, eight minutes down the hill. A 3.2-kilometre crescent of sand, rarely crowded. Salt skin, then home.
After Dark The uplights come on low. The water feature catches the moon. The ocean sounds closer at night.

Bay House was designed around the 16/8 principle — sixteen hours of living, eight hours of rest. Every room, every sightline, every surface exists to make those waking hours extraordinary.

The Last House On The RoadPrivate. Elevated. Engineered to endure. Off Market - Private property sale

Positioned 650 metres from the main road via a signed private access way, Bay House is the final dwelling on Timoti Road. The hilltop site, natural screening from extensive native planting and integrated Paradox alarm system create an exceptional sanctuary of privacy.

Solar Roof. Turquoise Pacific. Speedboat.

Solar evacuated tubes, Gutmann atrium glass, and the turquoise Pacific behind. A speedboat passes. Nobody watches it from a screen here.

Built for Centuries

Every material chosen for permanence. Not cost.

200mm reinforced Hebel, a 500mm steel‑reinforced ring beam, 900mm foundations, German PVCu windows, laminated timber beams and double torch‑on roofing on flat area — every choice favours lifespan over cost, so the house is built to last centuries.

Waimarama Beach to Mahia Peninsula — nothing between you and the Pacific.

Above the Flood Line. Above the Fog Line.

Climate-resilient coastal living — engineered from the ground up.

Bay House sits 192 metres above sea level on a geotechnically engineered platform — beyond the reach of storm surge, sea-level rise, and coastal erosion. Reinforced Hebel block walls, deep foundations, and a roof engineered for exposed hilltop wind loads. Coastal property built for the climate ahead, not the one behind.

192Metres above sea level at the East Coast of New Zealand - House for sale with sea view

One hundred and ninety-two metres above sea level and more than 800 metres from the shoreline. This elevation provides proven resilience against coastal weather events including the 2011 Waimarama floods and Cyclone Gabrielle, while placing residents permanently above coastal fog.

Mediterranean Climate, Pacific Soul

One of New Zealand's sunniest regions — built for living outdoors.

Hawke's Bay enjoys one of New Zealand's most temperate climates — mild winters, warm summers, softened by a coastal breeze. The hills above Waimarama catch first light and last warmth. The same climate that built New Zealand's finest vineyards.

Hawke's Bay Coast — Eight Minutes to the Sand

Two beaches, wine country, and a hilltop between them.

Waimarama Beach is eight minutes by car. Havelock North's wineries and restaurants, twenty. Hawke's Bay Airport, forty-five. Three cities within easy reach, two uncrowded beaches on your doorstep, and a hilltop that feels a world away from all of it.

Some properties don't belong on a billboard.

Bay House is not listed on the open market. No signage. No public open homes. Viewing is by private appointment only — a phone call, a conversation, a visit that suits you. The same discretion defines how it changes hands.
