Exquisitely Private Hectare of Waterfront Estate

This is a home that measures time differently.

There is a generational sense of goodwill sewn into every seam of this inimitably forged resort-calibre concrete and cedar legacy residence. A home shaped by decades of skill meeting a sinuous coastline, this is a story written in timber, stone, copper, and quiet. A refined property of rare distinction in both proportion and workmanship, it speaks substance over statement.

Resting serenely in one of Auckland's most discreet and tightly-held waterside settings, this offering redefines coastal architecture, tethering the peaceful ambience into a conversation of levity and mindful care. Think a putting green with princely views, or the vast seamlessly integrated infinity pool, tempered by a home cast in timeless neutrals with carefully curated natural finishes.

Designed by Kim Veltman Architecture and constructed by the owner of Jalcon Homes for his own family, this bespoke circa 650sqm residence reflects a level of specification and craftsmanship seldom executed today. Copper spouting and downpipes chosen to patina gracefully with time, materials selected for longevity rather than trend, and a calm grounded palette that sits softly within the coastal landscape echo the iconic restraint of Waiheke's Mudbrick Vineyard, where architecture, environment, and intention meld in harmony.

Unfolding across multiple living areas, balancing generous open plan spaces with more formal retreats, the main residence offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms as well as a sleek powder room, providing effortless accommodation for family and guests. Each principal room connects visually to water, greenery, and sky with soaring stud heights amplifying the sense of space inside and out.

Outside, an exceptional tiled in-ground pool framed by manicured planting and expansive water views creates a private, luxury resort-like setting. Elegance without ostentation remains the theme. An entire floor built for wellness, recreation, and relaxation opens casually to the outdoors, emphasising the unparalleled privacy unique to this location and the genuine passion for family, comfort, and entertaining underpinning every element of the design.

Fully landscaped, the 10,572sqm (more or less) Future Urban Zone landlandholding is uncommon in scale. Broad level lawns extend to the boundary, while tiered, professionally cared for gardens stretch toward the water. A separate cottage sits discreetly on the front portion of the property ideal for extended family, guests, staff, or a caretaker.

Practicality is seamlessly integrated, with the home's extensive internal access garaging supplemented by a substantial shed alongside the cottage, capable of accommodating multiple additional vehicles or a moderately sized boat without disrupting the estate's composure.

This waterfront address is a short drive from the central business district and a comfortably brief trip to Auckland International Airport. It is a home that rewards discernment, patience, and perspective; an investment in experience as much as an asset. Properties of this calibre, scale, and provenance are seldom offered in Auckland. There is no community more discreet.

Built to celebrate a generous family life, with bush for adventurous children and the divinity of quiet mornings by the water, this is a gentle, elegant, and substantial residence crafted with passion and a reverence for the land. It will resonate with those seeking a home of genuine quality, privacy, and permanence - a once in a generation opportunity.
