Sheltered, secluded and sun drenched

Discover the perfect blend of seclusion and serenity at this prestigious address on the Te Whau Peninsula. Spanning approximately 5.6 acres and enveloped in native bush, this exceptional site offers an unparalleled sense of privacy and tranquility, creating an idyllic retreat away from the world with a distinctly European feel.

The main house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom, all boasting breathtaking views over Putiki and Anzac Bay. Nestled below the ridgeline, this property enjoys a sheltered position that protects it from prevailing winds, enhancing your experience of peace and solitude.Facing north, the home basks in all-day sun, making it a true subtropical haven. Even in winter, bright sunny days mean the outdoor temperatures are in the mid-20s.

The thoughtfully designed roofline and floor heat sink ensure the space remains cool and shaded in summer while offering comforting warmth in winter. Entertain or unwind on the vine-covered terrace, complete with an outdoor fireplace—a perfect Mediterranean setting to enjoy the ever-changing light over the pristine native bush and Putiki Bay below. Soak up the warm summer nights in front of the fire with a glass of wine, surrounded by friends and family.

The gently sloping gardens thrive in a unique microclimate, fostering a vibrant array of subtropical flora and fauna that enhances the sense of sanctuary. The regenerating native forest feels like entering a cathedral, with branches high overhead and a cool area that is still and fragrant.

This property stands out as a lifestyle block with a difference, having been landscaped primarily with native plants and designed for a low-maintenance approach—ideal for owners who do not always reside in the house. The balance of the property, rich in regenerating native forest, provides an opportunity to do as much or as little as you desire. Its surprisingly central yet secluded location is only 4 minutes from the main supermarket and Onetangi beach, providing easy access to many of the island's amenities and stunning beaches.

This remarkable property combines a serene lifestyle with convenience, creating a fantastic opportunity that truly shouldn’t be missed!This property is the perfect lifestyle block, giving you privacy and a close connection to nature. The owner has carefully planned the landscaping and plantings, utilizing native and subtropical plants that require minimal maintenance. Clear and simple maintenance areas reinforce this low upkeep lifestyle.

As a new owner, you can choose to create additional forest gardens and tracks or simply enjoy the existing low-maintenance environment. Additionally, this property enjoys all the benefits of a unit title without the complications typical of urban properties. There is no common area; the property you buy is entirely yours. A body corporate exists solely to satisfy planning requirements, requiring little to no interaction with other property owners, and lower rates are enjoyed due to the unit title. Without subdivision, rates remain significantly lower than they would be for traditional ownership.Having been in the same ownership for 29 years, this hidden gem has largely flown under the radar in terms of rate values and CV assessments, making it an even more appealing opportunity in the market.
