Yes of course we remember you! Thanks so much for your comments. There are still some beautiful sections in the estate and the prices have come down a bit since 2008 so it would be worth checking them out again. I hope all is well with you and that you had a great holiday. If you’re ever up in the area again please stop by and we’ll give you a tour of the house!

Cheers,
Karen

You may remember me, you showed myself and partner your land (at the time with Tipi only) when we were inspecting some sections, sometime late in 2008 I think it was. I was considering purchasing a property in the estate and still pondering.

Congratulations on the progress so far – the house looks gorgeous and the view magnificent.

Fantastic work on being able to complete so much of it yourself – if only I was as handy I think to myself!

Looking forward to viewing more pictures and your progress in this, my favourite part of NZ.

Cheers

My family have lived in Manaia, coromandel township and including Whangapoa for as long as the town can remember.

I (Hugh) returned recently to New Zealand Coromandel for the first time in 11 years and to Coromandel it self for 28 years.

I was brought up by my mothers side but have inherited more land then I can chew which has been sitting dorment for a long time as family have done nothing with it. The courts have been more then amazing in the transfering of entitlements including from the grasps of the greedy forestry companies that had leased it for what it seems for free.

We only decided to look today for beach homes and kit sets as a starter for Whangapoa then move into secluded areas later on. Your website has given us some bloody great advise,ideas and inspiration.

I have worked with the United nations for many years and Danielle is a teacher both well travelled and live in Perth Australia. We are both looking forward to making the change very soon.

Thankyou both for the ispiration.

Regards,
Hugh and Danielle

We’ve been reading about your piece of paradise since yesterday, since we returned from the Coromandel ourselves.
We fell in love with the Mahauraki Estate in early 2006 when we first went to take a look at one of the sections (nr 5 on the Estate division map). Unfortunately we didn’t get our finance sorted, so we had to let it go, but have been keeping an eye on the real estate agents website ever since. Hopefully we can purchase our own piece of land in the future, it’s still our biggest dream!

Hopefully you’ve made a lot of progress with your house, we’re curious to read further updates!

My partner wants to know which section in the Estate you have bought, so he can look it up on the map ;-)

Good luck with your beautiful piece of land and house!
