If you’ve driven past homes with “glimpses of the sea” and wished for more, this is the one. Set high on a 960m² clifftop site in Arkles Bay, this Edgar Reid-designed concrete home trades flat access for a panorama that stretches across the Hauraki Gulf to Rangitoto Island and, on a clear evening, to the lights of Auckland City. Garaging, workshop and storage sit at ground level, with four bedrooms in the middle and open-plan living on top, where the view is.
Aluminium-clad and concrete-built, the home pairs architectural presence with genuinely low-maintenance living. It’s solid, high-performing and built to last, ideal for busy professionals who want a premium coastal home without the upkeep that usually comes with one.
Spanning approximately 383m² across three levels, the layout is arranged around its elevated position. High-stud ceilings throughout add light and scale, and frame the outlook from multiple vantage points.
Ground level: arrival, sorted.
Extensive 3+ car garaging, an oversized workshop and generous storage, all with the benefit of the high stud, make this a versatile space for cars, bikes, boats or watercraft. For the right buyer, this level is a feature in its own right.
Middle level: where the home settles in.
Underfloor hydronic heating keeps this level comfortable year-round. Four generously proportioned bedrooms enjoy quiet outlooks, led by a master suite designed as a true retreat, with mood lighting, a walk-in dressing room and a luxurious ensuite. A separate lounge and media room, complete with its own bar and impressive ceiling height, opens onto rich mahogany decks. It’s a private spot to unwind away from the main living.
Top level: the view, in full.
Dramatic architectural lines and high-stud ceilings amplify the panorama, creating a light-filled space made equally for quiet evenings and entertaining at scale. Expansive open-plan living and dining areas with ambient-lit ceilings flow into a designer kitchen with induction cooktop and a generous scullery. Outside, the BBQ kitchen and deck, fitted with electric blinds, give easy indoor-outdoor flow in any season. A guest powder room and an office or fifth bedroom complete the level.
CCTV, alarm and intercom security throughout add peace of mind.
The beach is a short stroll away and major shopping is just minutes by car. You get everyday convenience in one of the coast’s most sought-after enclaves, with a view most homes never get close to.
Offered for sale by negotiation, this is a rare chance to secure a high-stud, low-maintenance, architecturally designed home where the view is the everyday.
