Across New Zealand's 9,300 miles of paradisal shorelines, none compare with the calibre of luxury discovered at 49 Okiato.

This 1.75-ha promontory is a private residence offering a global standard of luxury living behind secure gates.

Collectively, this paradise presents a triumphantly transformed seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom house, a two-bedroom cottage, two private beaches, a grassed helipad, a jetty to dock vessels, a cyclone mooring, a boat shed with an automated hoist, and double garaging with a gym. Extending to the water, the estate's beachfront is only accessible via boat or garden paths and boasts Riparian Rights (exclusive use of the beach to the high tide mark. Contact the salespeople for a full information pack).

Initially constructed in the 1980s, commissioned builders and designers carried out the latest renovation, resulting in an internationally refined sanctuary of spaces. The only original piece remaining is the colonial-styled brass pendant floating in the open void over the sweeping staircase. The composition of materials and fixtures were sourced globally and locally. The list of specs is exhaustive and will impress the most discerning buyer.

Accommodating guests are seven bedrooms, including four suites and the master's resident apartment suite, providing decadent comfort. Two formal lounges, an open living, a European-grade kitchen, and outdoor living invite uncompromised relaxation or entertaining against the all-natural backdrop.

The private cottage affords visitors or onsite caretaker's additional accommodation.

Ancient of days, 500-year-old Pohutukawas and landscaped forest flooring can be walked amongst via rambling pathways, revealing different elevated points or beach coves to sit and view the seascapes of Veronica Channel, Opua, Paihia, Russell and beyond.

The Bay of Islands is a deep-water port and a sheltered aquatic wonderland of the South Pacific Ocean. The warm sub-tropical waters are a recreational playground for wildlife and A-listers. Breathtaking encounters await from your own shoreline. Take to the water for deep-sea diving, sailing, big-game fishing, island-hopping, dolphin and whale watching, and explore national marine reserves-paradise beckons.

You can access this property via helicopter, boat, or vehicle. Okiato is located near Russell Township and approximately a three-hour drive to Auckland. For expressions of interest, contact Leila and David.
