104 Ritchie Road, Parua Bay, NZ 0174

Perfectly positioned in the heart of sought-after Parua Bay, at the end of a quiet no-exit Road, this treasured waterfront villa enjoys a flat, easy-care section directly opposite a safe swimming beach and overlooking Headland Farm Park and the sparkling waters of Parua Bay.

Lovingly held by the current owners for the past 21 years, this is a home where memories have been made, milestones celebrated, and sunsets admired from the front deck.

Now, due to a change in circumstances, an exciting opportunity awaits for new owners to begin their own chapter in this truly special property.

Believed to date back to the early 1880s, the exact age unknown, but the rich history is undeniable. Once serving the community as the original Parua Bay Post Office, this residence holds a meaningful place in the local area, a rare blend of heritage, character and coastal charm.

Beautifully maintained, the home thoughtfully balances modern comfort with timeless features. The heart of the home connects seamlessly between the modern kitchen, dining and lounge areas, enhanced by high ceilings, timber flooring and an abundance of natural light from well-placed skylights. French doors open onto wrap-around decks sheltered by a classic bullnose verandah adorned with charming latticework, an idyllic setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. A wood burner and heat pumps provide warmth and ambiance throughout the cooler months.

Three generous bedrooms offer ample space for family and guests, while both the front deck and private rear yard with its established native gardens create superb entertaining options. Imagine hosting friends as the sun sets over the bay with the water just moments from your doorstep.

The vibrant Parua Bay village is a true community hub, offering local markets, cafes, amenities, recreational activities, a well-regarded school and early childhood centres.

For outdoor enthusiasts, nearby Whangarei Heads delivers exceptional walking tracks, surf and swimming beaches, fishing spots and a golf course, a lifestyle many aspire to but few secure.

All of this, just a scenic 21km drive to Whangarei CBD.

Historic, heartfelt and beautifully positioned - this is more than a home; it's a legacy ready to be continued. Added 06 March, 2026 Property ID: #L39432919
