This heavenly five hectare riparian parcel embodies a visceral spirit of place. Its total redesign by award winning Sumich Chaplin Architects in 2009 has created a priceless sanctuary.

The timeless home with extensive terraces, helipad, jetty and boat ramp is perfectly nestled in its own secluded northerly position at the head of Omaru Bay. Luxury finishes and graceful proportions cater seamlessly for intimate, romantic living to the wholly extravagant occasion, with water views from all seven suites. A palpable sense of stillness and tranquility envelops you as you move through the grounds via a glade of native amphitheatre and landscaped pasture, along fairway-like headland to an extensive grassed waterfront recreational area. From the astonishing floating infinity pool you look across your own private bay towards the Coromandel and the eastern islands of the Hauraki Gulf – just ten minutes by boat.

This unrepeatable experience is found so close to the heart of Auckland – 30 minutes drive from Oneroa, 20 minutes from the vehicle ferry, five minutes to the Orapiu passenger ferry – or a mere 10-15 minute helicopter ride from Auckland City.
