Introducing one of Waiheke Island’s most exclusive luxury estates, nestled on 3.16Ha of prestigiously located waterfront land. This once-in-a lifetime legacy sanctuary offers a lifestyle of opulence and tranquility, surrounded by breath-taking panoramic views, significant landscaped gardens that include 1.2Ha of professionally managed vineyard across gently contoured land, and seamless access to a private sandy beach.

As one first passes through the gated entrance and enters the Estate you instantly feel transported to a private sanctuary. The views are breathtaking with the centrepiece being a meticulously crafted, north-facing residence, exuding refined European elegance and a timeless sophistication in harmony with its extraordinary setting. Crafted from solid in situ poured concrete, this is a property of rare outstanding longevity and calibre. Every impeccable detail has been thoughtfully considered for its exquisite beauty and exceptional quality, from the traditional plastered sand and marble dust walls, double glazed steel joinery, travertine and reclaimed oak floors, custom-milled wood beams to Perrin & Rowe brass tapware.

Entertaining is beyond compare in the generous open plan living and dining room known as the Great Room and epicurean kitchen with Lacanche cooking range and top of the line appliances which flow effortlessly to the stunning loggia sporting an Engel fire, pizza oven plus barbecue and magnificent sweeping 270-degree views. Alternatively retreat to the underground cellar with full bar or relax in the club room watching a movie, listening to music or curling up with a book by the fire.

A sumptuous primary suite is also located on the ground floor with French doors opening out to the formal garden and fountain, whist two more generous bedroom suites with Juliet balconies are positioned upstairs all enjoying the north facing sea views over the gardens, vineyard and beyond.

Indulge in sustainable luxury with features like hydronic underfloor heating, antique French fireplaces, double glazing, limestone fountains, and a full music system throughout the house plus an elegant powder room.

The guest cottage is fully self-contained, ideal for hosting visitors, while additional outbuildings include multiple gazebos for relaxing and storage facilities.

Outdoor living is elevated with meticulously landscaped gardens including a bush walk through the property, a unique palmery in a rustic French glasshouse, a stunning terraced rose garden and gazebo while abundant formal gardens grace the home itself. Two private walled courtyards off the main hall add to the tranquility and luxury of this idyllic home.

Bring the Sealegs to launch from the beach or simply go for a swim.
