Perfectly positioned, this stunning four-level architectural property rises above the expansive views of the Hauraki Gulf – a bold study in light, permanence, and the inspiring beauty of New Zealand coastal living.
Created by award-winning Auckland studio Hulena Architects, the property appears carved from the landscape itself – its form tiered and deliberate. The home feels alive with its setting, the basalt façade catches the light like a sculpture, the air carries the sound of waves, and every line of sight draws you back to the sea.
Built in 2014 by renowned Auckland builders Good Brothers to an exceptionally high standard, the home offers an extremely private residence with everything you could wish for in a luxury waterfront home. Spanning approximately 1400sqm, the layout is highly functional, perfectly designed for multi-generational living and entertaining. It unfolds in layers with the main level featuring walls of glass opening to the ocean in the east and a sheltered grass courtyard in the west. Anchored with pale oak floors, this level features expansive open-plan spaces, include a lounge with fireplace plus a dining area, each opening to the courtyard and huge terraces overlooking the ocean. The generous kitchen features a living area overlooking the water. The large office with meeting space and a secondary media room are in a dedicated wing.
The top floor is home to the master suite with unimpeded 240-degree views of the ocean, it features a walk-in robe, spacious ensuite, and unfolds seamlessly to a big deck to maximise the sweeping views. Two additional family bedrooms with ensuites and walk-in wardrobes, along with two separate studies or library are also on this level.
The Lower level includes three spacious ensuite bedrooms, one with its own self-contained kitchen making an apartment-like suite, and these all open onto a quiet shared terrace overlooking the ocean. Also on this level are a gym with a 4-person steam room, and a multi-media cinema and a storage room. The Garage level provides car parking for 6, plant area, more storage, and a large utility room. The house features a drive through vehicle entry to offer additional generous private visitor parking private from the street.
The 17-metre indoor/outdoor infinity pool extends past the living room and decks toward the horizon. Multiple courtyards and terraces invite calm and connection to the dramatic views at every turn.
This residence has been engineered for permanence, the exterior features a robust yet refined palette of split-face and sawn basalt cladding, paired with honed and flamed basalt paving that flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces. This striking contemporary design is both a sanctuary and a statement, a home that embodies security, legacy, and timeless architectural significance on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.”
Rarely does a property of this calibre become available. Positioned within an easy commute to top schools and Auckland’s CBD this stunning residence transcends the ordinary, a home where architecture and landscape are in perfect harmony.
