Wai Kōwhai is an exclusive rural coastal development set on 783 hectares of the Purerua Peninsula in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. This master-planned community offers a rare blend of premium lifestyle and ecological stewardship, with lot sizes ranging up to 24 hectares—perfect for those seeking space, privacy, and a deep connection to nature. The landscape is a harmonious mix of rolling pastures, native bush, and dramatic coastal cliffs, with select sites boasting sweeping ocean views and direct access to secluded beaches via private walking tracks. Wai Kōwhai stands out for its bold commitment to sustainability. Working alongside leading ecologists and the Kiwi Coast’s Pest Free Purerua Project, the development is actively restoring 130 hectares of native habitat, enhancing biodiversity and supporting the region’s cherished kiwi and bird populations. Residents become stewards of this unique land, participating in a peninsula-wide conservation initiative while enjoying the freedom to run livestock, pursue rural activities, or simply relax in a natural sanctuary. The lifestyle here is quintessentially Bay of Islands—world-class boating, fishing, diving, and golf are moments away, while the vibrant Kerikeri community, with its markets, vineyards, and amenities, is just a 25-minute drive. Wai Kōwhai offers a rare opportunity to build your dream retreat or permanent residence in a setting where environmental care and exceptional living go hand in hand.
