waimataruru – a coastal retreat of architectural distinction
celebrated in architectural publications both nationally and
internationally, waimataruru is more than a
home—it is a landmark property that embodies timeless design, exceptional
livability, and a profound connection to its natural surroundings. this is a
rare opportunity to acquire a unique fusion of art and architecture—a coastal
sanctuary destined to grow in stature and appeal.
nestled within a pristine 10-hectare expanse of regenerating native bush and
overlooking a spectacular stretch of coastline, waimataruru
is a residence of rare vision and quality. designed to sit lightly on the land,
this extraordinary home was conceived with deep reverence for its
environment—both beach and bush—and constructed to the highest standards using
materials and methods tailored to its coastal setting.
the architectural form is both striking and harmonious. a single-plane roof
traces the natural contours of the land, while the structure is oriented due
north to capture optimal sunlight and panoramic views. inside, the home unfolds
across split levels, creating expansive, interconnected spaces that flow
effortlessly from one to the next.
waimataruru features three private bedroom suites,
each with its own bathroom, complemented by refined living areas that extend
seamlessly to outdoor entertaining spaces. every principal room offers
breathtaking vistas—whether across the ocean and otama beach to the north or
into the lush, enveloping native bush.
sustainability was a guiding principle in the home’s design. green
technologies have been thoughtfully integrated to reduce the environmental
footprint, while the surrounding landscape has been extensively planted with
endemic species. this careful stewardship enhances the natural regeneration of
the bush and fosters a profound sense of privacy and immersion in nature.
despite its seclusion—hidden from view and without near neighbours—waimataruru
is just five minutes from the picturesque village of kuaotunu, one of the
coromandel peninsula’s most sought-after coastal communities.
