Award-winning architecture. An exceptional island setting.
Designed by acclaimed New Zealand architect Daniel Marshall, this distinctive Waiheke residence occupies a private, elevated position in sought-after Church Bay, enjoying beautiful coastal views, sunshine and an exceptional sense of space. Set within 2,327sqm (more or less) of established landscaped grounds, the property offers a peaceful retreat within easy reach of Oneroa Village and the island's renowned vineyards.
Spanning approximately 396sqm, this award-winning home is an elegant fusion of Pacific Rim and modernist architecture, with Japanese influences reflected in its materials, detailing and thoughtful arrangement of spaces around a series of sheltered courtyards. Recognised with an International Property Award for Best Architecture – Residential (Single Unit) and an NZIA Auckland Branch Award, the home showcases dark-stained cedar, Italian travertine and a refined natural palette that complements its surroundings.
Generous open-plan living and dining areas connect seamlessly to a beautifully appointed kitchen and expansive outdoor terraces. The home's contemporary steel structure allows for fully glazed corners, capturing uninterrupted views across neighbouring vineyards towards the harbour. Three distinct living spaces offer flexibility for entertaining, family gatherings and quiet relaxation.
Outdoor living is a defining feature, with a striking swimming pool, spa and generous entertaining areas set amongst mature gardens. The carefully considered relationship between the architecture and landscape creates a series of inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the coastal surroundings.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate powder room. The striking cantilevered primary suite is thoughtfully positioned to capture the morning sun and elevated outlook. Complete with its own sitting area and ensuite, this private retreat reflects the home’s considered architectural design. Internal-access double garaging and additional off-street parking complete the property.
The location is equally appealing. Oneroa Village, with its boutique shops, cafés and restaurants, and beautiful nearby beaches are within walking distance. The celebrated Mudbrick and Cable Bay vineyards are also close by, while Matiatia ferry terminal is just a short drive away, providing convenient connections to Auckland City.
Combining architectural pedigree, privacy and generous living spaces in one of Waiheke's most desirable locations, 45 Church Bay Road presents an opportunity to secure a distinctive island residence.
