Nestled above a sandy beach, this private waterfront residence encompasses vast water and rural vistas. It is unquestionably a rare find in the Bay of Islands. Consisting of gentle rolling to sloping lush paddocks, stands of native bush and extensive landscaping, the impressive residence is surrounded by manicured grounds.
This magnificent home, gardens and waterways were architecturally designed and built by world renowned artisans. The objective was to ensure everything was in harmony with the breath-taking views and the stunning footprint. The changing colours of the waters immediately below in Napia Bay blend with the interior colour schemes of this European inspired design.
Elevated on a flat plateau, the pavilion-styled residence enjoys panoramic views across Te Puna Inlet through floor to ceiling glass walls. A trickling waterfall feeds the latticed system of waterways, weaving in and around the expansive living spaces, encompassing the swimming pool and spa, multiple entertainment areas and tranquil courtyards - something for all moods and occasions. Carved Totara pillars appear to hold up soaring Matai ceilings, a stage for lighting imported from Sweden, while Indian sandstone flooring unites the rooms with a simplicity intended to showcase the owner's art collection.
A separate pavilion, linked to the main dwelling by paths criss-crossing the waterways, provides guest accommodation. No expense was spared in this build which was two years in the making. Attention to detail is also evident in the copper garage doors and guttering, the imported kitchen fit-out, the automated external shutters, and so the list goes on. The secluded caretaker's residence, on a separate title, also in a spectacular setting, ensures the property can be well-managed in your absence.
Nearby is the Kerikeri Cruising Club and Marina, it is only 10-12 km to Kerikeri town, schools and 20 km to the airport. This property's location enables life here to be within reach of all Northland has to offer, with Auckland just a short flight down the coast.
