28 The Strand, Waiwera, Rodney District, Auckland

Celebrating an absolute waterfront position on one of New Zealand’s most iconic coastlines, this modern masterpiece is part of a tightly-held enclave of properties embracing magnificent Waiwera Beach.

The spacious and stylish weatherboard home was built by the current owners 13 years ago as a family legacy property – a place where three generations could gather and enjoy summers together in paradise.

The tranquil, Pohutukawa-fringed bay is tucked away, embraced by Wenderholm Regional Park’s lush native bush and overlooking the estuary.

A thoughtfully designed and beautifully-proportioned floorplan means the house works equally well as a permanent residence or holiday home and it has been crafted to the highest of standards. A Poggenpohl kitchen is the ground floor’s social hub and boasts Miele appliances and a large scullery, while a series of living and dining areas offer plenty room for everyone to spread out.

Walls of glass along the front bring the outside in, showcasing the cinematic, ever-changing outlook and flowing out to the expansive entertaining decks and flat lawns. The spa pool out here is heated with thermal water and an outdoor shower and fish filleting station also come in handy.

A seriously impressive Oak staircase and Basalt feature wall leads upstairs, where each of the four double bedrooms has an ensuite and TV, including the large and luxurious master retreat.

The property has private vehicle access and plenty of off-street parking, with the high-stud double garage also featuring an EV charger.

Waiwera is just a seven minute (approx.) drive from Orewa’s shopping, eateries and motorway onramp and just 45 minutes (approx.) from Auckland CDB (off peak).
