116 Stratford Drive, Cable Bay, Far North, Northland

The owners of this stunning coastal retreat above Cable Bay are focused on a sale, creating a rare shot at paradise for an astute buyer. Elevated and private, the property sits among the best of Kiwiana, with covenanted bush, sweeping sea views, native birdlife, and legendary fishing grounds on the doorstep. Designed by the owner, the home is a true masterpiece that celebrates outdoor living. It frames panoramic views across Doubtless Bay and the wild bush in the foreground, with a layout that offers 3 to 4 bedrooms and centres around an internal sheltered courtyard. This creates an outstanding entertaining zone with gentle sea breezes and bold water views. Large stackers connect the main living area to the seaward deck, forming a much-loved spot for watching the afternoon sun move across the olive grove next door, giving a touch of Tuscany to the Far North. Come evening, the moonrise shimmers over the water – truly magical. Open plan living is supported by a second lounge and a kitchen crafted for those who love to host. Style meets function with ample storage, quality appliances, and a generous scullery. Polished concrete floors offer durability and retain warmth in winter, while five heat pumps provide year round comfort. The master bedroom has uninterrupted water views, complete with deck access, a spacious walk-in robe, and a tiled ensuite. Two additional double bedrooms enjoy garden vistas, and the separate office near the entry could easily be a fourth bedroom. The oversized garage and a well-designed laundry keep life organised. Mobility friendly layout with level thresholds. Coastal hardy gardens, ample concrete parking for boat or cars and zero lawns make upkeep a breeze, and even kiwi are known to visit at night. Extras include security cameras, gas water, central vacuum, three water tanks, triple filtration with UV treatment, and a fantastic purpose-built utility shed. With the grandkids calling, this superior property, just a 10 minute walk from the beach, must be sold. Act quickly and call Lisa or David for the full info pack.
