101 Totara North Road, Taupo Bay/Totara North, Far North, Northland

When you have been holding out for a home where the view is not a bonus but the whole point, this is the kind of place that makes you stop scrolling. Set on a 1120m2 section in Totara North, this 3 bedroom home gives you a wide harbour outlook, easy single-level living and the kind of outdoor connection that changes how you use the day. The layout is simple, open and well judged, with the kitchen, dining and living area all facing the water. Big windows keep the outlook in play, sliding doors open straight to the deck, and the kitchen is practical in all the right ways with good bench room, an island-style return and a proper walk-in pantry. There is a woodburner with wetback for cooler months, but this is really a home designed around light, view and everyday ease. All 3 bedrooms sit together off the hall, giving the home a clear and functional separation between living and rest. Two bedrooms open to the deck and the third gives you flexibility for guests, kids or working from home. The bathroom is tidy and well-sized with a shower, vanity and toilet, and the hall storage keeps things straightforward. Outside is where this property really settles in. The wraparound deck gives you more than one place to sit with a coffee or share a quiet meal looking out across the harbour, while the large covered entertaining area at the rear feels ready for long lunches, potted herbs and evenings that roll on. There is also a separate double garage, plenty of forecourt parking and room for the boat, trailer or extra vehicles without crowding the house. Totara North is a special Far North destination that residents stay loyal to for good reason. It offers the chance to be part of a small coastal community complete with a primary school, wharf, boat ramp, and community hall. The Whangaroa Sports Fishing Club & Cafe is close by, all within a setting renowned for its connection to the water and the famous Whangaroa Harbour. Best of all - great fishing at your doorstep!
