You are blissfully enveloped by the gulf at this perfectly private headland paradise. The opulent gated retreat with separate guest accommodation sits proudly on the promontory, with epic vistas from Huruhi Bay to Auckland’s Sky Tower and all the way along the Tamaki Strait. A grand staircase leads to the palatial main floor of this extensively refurbished property, opening to the elements with decks on all sides. The majestic, open-plan space features two airy, luxurious living zones, a formal dining area and a meticulously crafted kitchen with plush Portuguese stone bench-tops flowing around to a roomy butler’s pantry. There’s a huge bedroom, en-suite and powder room on this floor along with separate laundry featuring wall-to-wall storage. A further substantial bedroom with generous office can be found up the delightful spiral staircase. The massive master suite is an elegant sanctuary with capacious walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, plus a private deck overlooking the water. And down below are the wine cellar and double garage. The sweeping concrete driveway leads through low-maintenance grounds, with plenty of parking for vehicles and the boat. Set apart, the contemporary cottage with deck and stunning sea views could accommodate a nanny, extra guests or a caretaker. So close to Kennedy Point ferry and marina, and the central island amenities, this decadent waterfront enclave feels a world away. Immediate possession is possible. It’s time to anchor down, enjoy the spectacular sunsets and perhaps spot some orca and dolphins in their spectacular natural habitat.
