A beautiful beachside lifestyle residence with plenty of history has hit the market in coastal Pukehina.
Located on exclusive Rogers Road, Pukehina, Bay Of Plenty, the main house is historically known as The Manse, and was originally the residence for the ministers of St Lukes Church in Remuera from 1919 – 1987.
Circa 1919, the four-bedroom statuesque home was painstakingly transported in four pieces to its current elevated beachfront 1.18ha site in 1989.

With breathtaking views from “Moutohora” Whale Island to “Motunau” Plate Island and “Motiti”, from dawns break to sunset, this oceanside property also includes a three bedroom separate cottage and a three-bay barn.
153 Rogers Road is being marketed by Ray White Papamoa & Mount Maunganui agents Quintin and Janelle Havenga.
“This property provides an exclusive, unique, and rare opportunity to purchase seafront along the Bay of Plenty coastline let alone coastal property in New Zealand,” Mr Havenga said.
“The home has timeless heritage style meeting modern contemporary needs. There have been sensitive upgrades to the entertainer’s kitchen, bathrooms, and additional bifolds to maximise the incredible views.
“Plus the additional cabin offers options for guest accommodation, groundskeeper, rental or business income, extended family.”
The current owners have lived at the property for many years and, while they adore the home, are moving to be closer to family in Whakatane.
“The property will suit buyers searching for exclusivity in a semi-secluded coastal setting whilst remaining in touch with larger Bay of Plenty hubs of Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Whakatane and Rotorua,” Mr Havenga said.
“It could serve as a permanent coastal lifestyle home or holiday home or it could be developed as a lodge or homestay.”
The property is being offered for sale via auction, onsite on Saturday, September 17, at 1pm.
