Privately positioned above Kawakawa Bay sits a distinctive rural retreat where architectural design, generous proportions and an extraordinary north facing coastal outlook come together. Sweeping 180 degree views take in Waiheke Island, Rangitoto and the Coromandel Peninsula, creating a remarkable backdrop to everyday life. There is something restorative about a place where the outlook stretches to the horizon, the surroundings feel peaceful, and life has room to slow down. Set across approximately 2.35 hectares, the substantial residence is thoughtfully designed in harmony with its setting. Multiple living areas create space to gather or retreat, and the stunning covered outdoor area extends entertaining through every season. Extensive decking opens towards the views, with a solar-heated swimming pool, spa and outdoor fireplace setting the scene for long afternoons, relaxed evenings and time with family and friends. Established grounds provide space to wander and enjoy the surrounding natural environment, and an elevated tennis court has sea views from either end of the court. Life here is less about a schedule and more about a rhythm set by the day. A morning swim, an evening spa, a game of tennis or simply sitting quietly with the view all become part of daily life. North Island weka are regular visitors alongside other abundant native birdlife that inhabit the native bush. The four-bedroom main residence is complemented by a separate, self-contained one-bedroom guest house, providing flexibility for extended family, visiting friends or accommodation income. Both the main residence and guest accommodation have been let as Airbnb stays, with an established history of short-term rental use. Triple car garage with internal access, sealed driveway through native bush and extensive off-street parking. A large workshop and a rainwater supply backed by a natural spring and fruit trees including Lemon, Mandarin, Nectarines, Apples, Pears, Plums and Grapes supports a more self reliant rural lifestyle. Despite its private setting, Kawakawa Bay's beaches and all-tide boat ramp are close to hand, with Clevedon and Auckland within easy reach. Please note: the cladding is EIFS: Exterior Insulated Finish System. EIFS is a lightweight polystyrene sheeting with very good moisture resistance compared with other monolithic plaster cladding systems. EIFS has a standard thickness of 40mm but had 60mm cladding installed on this property increasing the thermal efficiency of the property.
