A historic Beazley family estate in Mount Maunganui is for sale for the first time in 70 years. The massive 4866m² absolute beachfront property spans three freehold titles on Oceanbeach Road, making it the largest private landholding on this renowned coastline.

Originally purchased by Barry Beazley of Beazley Homes, the site includes the original 1950s home. Marketed by Bayleys, this is a rare development opportunity with a combined value exceeding $22m for this iconic land.

Flashback: The Beazleys’ home was an enviable property with a beautiful terraced garden and resort-style pool.

Miss New Zealand contestants paraded beside the pool in the 1960s. It was one of the first such pools to appear in New Zealand.

The original 1950s Beazley house remains - it served as a show home for the company in the early days. Barry and Doreen Beazley had their wedding breakfast here

The triple section is the last undeveloped plot in this part of the beach.

A fence defines the boundary between the Beazley land and the sand dunes.

And this is what it’s all about - the sweeping coastline of one of New Zealand’s most popular surf beaches on the East Coast.
