Robert Ballance McLarin: A Local Legacy
The next exciting chapter for Kahawai Point has arrived. Stage 5, our latest collection of premium homesites, is now officially on the market, bringing you closer than ever to the vibrant Village Centre that will become the heart of this fast‑growing waterfront community. Starting from just $302,000, these limited sections present an exceptional opportunity to secure a slice of coastal paradise while prices remain within reach.
Naming this release the Robert Ballance McLarin Homesite Release is a way to honour the history beneath our feet. It ties every new home here to the story of a man who worked the land with pride, and to a family whose vision and care helped shape this community.”
His connection to the land was inherited from his father, John Wesley McLarin, who left a lasting mark in the late 1900s by planting a magnificent pohutukawa tree that still stands proudly near the site. At over 120 years old, this grand tree is now a living landmark, a reminder of the area’s rural heritage and the families who helped it grow.
From 1920 to 1978, Robert Ballance McLarin farmed the very land that now forms part of Kahawai Point. Known for his hard work and deep ties to the community, Robert spent nearly six decades shaping the landscape, tending to stock, and caring for the waterways and fertile soil that define the area today.
A New Neighbourhood with Front‑Row Access to Convenience
Stage 5 occupies a prime position immediately adjacent to the forthcoming Village Centre on McLarin Road. Construction of the Village Centre started in May 2025 and is scheduled for completion within by year end.
To be anchored by local grocer Paddock to Pantry, renowned for fresh produce and meat, gourmet treats and barista‑quality coffee, the hub will also host everyday essentials and curated specialty stores. Imagine strolling from your front door to pick up last‑minute dinner ingredients without ever leaving the neighbourhood
The convenience of a fully‑fledged village, combined with Kahawai Point’s tranquil riverside backdrop, means you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat that never feels remote.
Premium Sections Framed by Water and Lush Coastal Vegetation
Each Stage 5 homesite is thoughtfully placed between the serene waterways of the Waiuku / Taihiki estuary system and generous pockets of landscaped reserve. Whether you choose a sun‑drenched section with sweeping rural views or a gently elevated site with glimpses of the rivers, every section is designed to maximise natural light, privacy, and connection to the outdoors.
- Section sizes are flexible enough to suit a wide variety of architectural styles — from sleek single‑level dwellings to spacious family homes with room for gardens and alfresco living.
- Protective design guidelines safeguard your investment and ensure a cohesive streetscape while still allowing individuality and creative flair.
Seamless Lifestyle: Adventure Outside, Comfort Within
Kahawai Point is already celebrated for its effortless blend of relaxation and adventure. Imagine a lifestyle where you can:
- Launch a kayak at first light and paddle along serene inlets alive with birdlife.
- Explore the Waiuku Forest trails just minutes away.
- Fish for snapper and kahawai off the Coastline, then watch the sunset paint the sky over the water.
- Picnic on the waterfront reserves while the kids roam safe green spaces or nearby playgrounds.
When the day’s exploring is done, come home to a community that values neighbourly connections. Seasonal events and family‑friendly open‑days foster the welcoming atmosphere that has become Kahawai Point’s signature.
Strong Growth Fundamentals
Positioned less just over an hour from Auckland’s CBD and only 20 minutes to the direct Auckland rail link at Pukekohe, Kahawai Point offers a rare combination of lifestyle and accessibility. Demand for quality housing within commuting distance of the city continues to surge, and boutique coastal developments such as ours are in limited supply.
With the Village Centre adding retail, and potentially in the future dining and professional services on‑site — plus future residential stages set to introduce more recreation facilities — property experts predict sustained capital growth across the project lifecycle. Whether you’re planning to build your forever home, a coastal holiday house or a savvy rental Stage 5 provides a compelling entry point.
