Your choice of standalone, duplex, townhouse or terraced homes
You’ll find the ideal home for your retirement in Karaka Pines Waihi Beach. Choose from two or three bedrooms, standalone, duplex, townhouse or terraced homes, with single or double garages.
Sunny and spacious
All homes are positioned to catch the sun, with generously sized lounges opening onto patios or balconies. Most homes come with a single garage, because the convenience of life here usually means one car is enough, but if you need a second car or simply want extra space for storage or a workshop, you have the option of choosing a home with a double garage.
Low maintenance
Most people have better things to do than spend time on home maintenance. That’s why all homes here are built with long-life, low-maintenance materials. All external maintenance is the responsibility of the village management, plus you get the choice of how much gardening you want to do – or not to do!
Comfortable and stylish
You’ll stay cosy year-round at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach. Warmth is assured by the north-facing aspect of all homes, insulation, double glazing and energy-efficient heat-pumps. All fixtures and fittings are premium quality, so they’ll stay looking good and in working order for the years ahead.
Tailored to your taste
We all like to add our own special touches to our home. If you’re buying a home that’s yet to be constructed, we offer a range of options and colour choices that you can incorporate.
Standalone homes
Duplex homes
Our two-bedroom options are the Juniper and Berkeley. Three-bedroom plans are the Eastwood, Lucerne and Melrose.
Stanaway homes
There are two large three-bedroom homes on the ground floor, opening onto lawns and gardens.
On the lift-accessed second floor are two large three-bedroom homes, with morning or afternoon sun, and a large two-bedroom home featuring a large deck and lovely views.
The Stanaway homes will be available in Stage 3 of the village development.
Townhouses
The Thorndon Terraces are a three-bedroom design featuring a lovely ensuite, a full guest bathroom, and a single garage with a private lift, giving access to all three levels of your home. Detailed architectural designs are yet to be completed.
Life at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach
When you visit Karaka Pines Waihi Beach, you’ll feel an immediate sense of how much simpler and easier life could be.
A temporary clubhouse is on site and includes a kitchen and dining area, a library, a gym, and a games and hobby room. Plans for the permanent clubhouse and wellbeing centre include a catering kitchen, a bar and dining room, a library and craft rooms, plus a gym and swimming pool.
There’s a lot to do here, but you can be as involved in community life in the village as much or as little as you like. It’s your home, so it’s up to you.
Living at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach doesn’t mean disconnecting from the wider community. Many people who live in Karaka Pines villages remain closely involved with local sports and social clubs, and some are still working and running businesses.
Family and friends are always welcome to visit or to stay. They’ll love being shown the beach, the walkway to Orokawa Beach or the trig up behind the village. Within a short drive is the beach village centre, Waihi and Katikati.
Village fees
Your flexible options at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach extend to how you pay the fees. You’ll find more on our fees, why you pay them, and why we think they’re fair, here.
There are two options:
- The first option would see you pay a variable weekly fee, reviewed annually, and a Deferred Management Fee (DMF) of 12.5% of the sales price of your home in the village, paid out of the proceeds when it’s sold. This fee is incurred at 6.25% per year, capped after two years.
- Alternatively, you can choose to pay a fixed weekly fee for life. If you select this option, the DMF is increased to 25% of the sale price of your home, incurred at 7% per year for three years, then 4% for the fourth year.
Like all properties that come under the Karaka Pines Villages umbrella, when the time comes to sell, you’re the one who benefits from any capital gain in your home, not the management. We think that’s only fair.
