Set across 185 hectares of breathtaking natural landscape - from sea views to the foothills of the Brynderwyn Ranges - Mangawhai Hills offers a new way of living.
Generous sections, solar-ready design, native bush tracks, cycling trails, and rewilded wetlands converge to create a self-sufficient community where sustainability and lifestyle are truly restorative.
Mangawhai Hills is just 95km north of Auckland, offering the perfect escape without losing touch with the city. Nestled between lush hills and stunning coastline, it’s close to everything Mangawhai is loved for - beaches, golf, local markets, boutique eateries, vineyards, and a vibrant, welcoming community.
Our homes and landscapes are designed to give more than they take. From solar power and self sufficient water systems to extensive native replanting, every detail has been considered to work in harmony with the land. With well-proportioned sections, thoughtful community spaces, and modern sustainable systems, this is the perfect place to build a home that respects its surroundings.
Golf in the morning, fishing by the afternoon - everything you love is close by. With local schools, village charm, and new trails through native bush, Mangawhai offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Spacious living and beautiful beaches put the best of the north at your doorstep - perfect for a balanced, future-proof investment.
Our design guidelines are about creating a place that feels considered, connected, and genuinely special.
Homes are designed to sit naturally within the landscape, with streetscapes that feel harmonious and welcoming.
Every home goes through a simple design review process to ensure quality, character and consistency. Some elements are flexible, others are fixed - all to protect your outlook, your lifestyle, and the long-term value of your home.
Sustainability is woven into every layer of planning, you’ll benefit from thoughtful design, long-term environmental stewardship, and new independent infrastructure that supports self-sufficiency.
From renewable energy, smart water systems to community-focused amenities, every element is built to last - protecting your investment and helping it grow.
Design your own home, or let one of our trusted build partners guide you through the process.
Mangawhai Hills is led by Patrick Fontein, a visionary developer with a passion for creating places that work in harmony with the land. Backed by a team of experts, Patrick has shaped this project into a thoughtfully masterplanned, design-led community built for the future.
