31 James Paige Lane, Riverhead, Auckland Dream Family Retreat On The Water

Inspired design, meticulous craftsmanship and an extraordinary level of finishing have created a dream waterfront retreat for families who love to entertain. The 1.56ha slice of private paradise is comprised of a total of three separate dwellings - the four bedroom main house, cottage and self-contained sleepout - offering options for accommodating extended family, long-term visitors and working from home.

The main residence's cedar and black Colorsteel cladding blend seamlessly within the magnificent coastal landscape and the sprawling single level floorplan envelops the swimming pool complex. The chef's kitchen has a scullery, while practical polished concrete floors make life easy in the open plan lounge and dining space.

Ever-changing vistas of the Upper Waitemata and beyond are on full display and have been beautifully maximised throughout. High ceilings and walls of glass enhance the sense of space and the indoors flow out to wraparound decks, the pool, easy-care landscaped gardens and sweeping lawns. Long evenings hosting friends al fresco is a pleasure, thanks to the fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, heating, wood fire, wine fridges and wall mounted TV.

No expense has been spared to create the ultimate modern environment for family living and entertaining and an extensive list of features takes the property to the next level. These include spa-quality bathrooms, hydronic underfloor heating, ducted aircon, three TVs and up-to-the-minute, app-controlled sound systems.

The cottage and minor dwelling are finished to the same exemplary standard as the main residence and each have their own separate access, outdoor living and parking.

This sought-after neighborhood is filled with many exclusive estates and is in close proximity to the area's renowned eateries, vineyards and golf clubs, with Albany and Westgate a 20-minute scenic drive from home.
