Spectacularly wide views and an expansive terrace from which to admire them are hallmarks of this new sub-penthouse apartment at 305/250 Kepa Road, Mission Bay, available in the Horizon apartments.

The two-bedroom luxury apartment is on the third level of the new, completed complex which sits high on the ridge in Mission Bay.

Ray White agent Bryce Holmes says, “Its claim to fame is definitely its amazing views and its 72-square metre patio which wraps around two sides of it.

“It sits up on the north east corner of these apartments so it has views which stretch right around from the city and all the way around the Hauraki Gulf to Browns Island.

“That includes a fantastic view of Rangitoto right out the front. When people go up and see it they are blown away by the fantastic view.

“This level 3 sub-penthouse is the last north facing apartment with this amazing 270-degree view.”


Horizon Mission Bay is a development by Reside (a division of Location Group) and the building’s form was conceived for them by international architecture studio Buchan Group.

The address is home to 41 apartments, set in three connected pods.

The architects Buchan Group focused on connecting the building with the landscape, using materials such as concrete and timber (faux) vertical battens to enhance the exterior aesthetic, providing screening and privacy.

There is a separate lift core for each of the pods which helps with privacy and security and fosters a sense of community among each group of neighbours.

The open-plan living-dining-kitchen area and both of this sub-penthouse apartment’s two bedrooms open to its substantial terrace.


Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors flood the apartment with interior light and provide seamless integration between its interior and terrace.

The sophisticated interior features engineered oak flooring.

The premium kitchen features premium porcelain benchtops and Miele appliances.

Holmes says the particularly generous terrace, which is partially covered, is extremely private and sunny.

It’s a sheltered expanse with plenty of room for both alfresco dining and lounging.


“This will be an amazing place to live and fantastic for socialising and entertaining against the backdrop of its incredible views.”

The master bedroom is furthest away from the open-plan living area, equipped with a sophisticated ensuite and a bank of wardrobing.

A second bathroom serves the second bedroom plus there is a separate laundry, outfitted with Bosch appliances.

The residence has a central heating system plus heat pump. It comes with two car side-by-side car parks plus two sizeable storage lockers.

Residents who have bought and moved into the complex tend to be more mature couples, many of whom have downsized from higher maintenance properties around the Mission Bay area.


“Residents love the location being so close to the cafes and restaurants around the Bays,” Holmes said.

“And it’s such a short walk to the supermarket, local shops, restaurants, medical services and The Eatery all located at the Eastridge shopping complex.

“It’s right on good public transport routes and its convenient to get from here to the central city.”

The apartments are pet-friendly, subject to body corporate approval.

305/250 Kepa Road in Mission Bay has an asking price of $2.95 million.
