With incredible views of Wellington Harbour and the Orongorongo Mountains, this exceptional Ian Athfield–designed home has been luxuriously re-imagined offering a refined sanctuary of privacy and comfort.

Dramatically set into the hillside just a stone’s throw from the water below, it offers a rare sense of sheltered seclusion, while only ten minutes from the city.

The majority of the home unfolds across two thoughtfully designed levels, with living and entertaining elevated to capture the ever-changing harbour views. The light-filled kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow effortlessly together, framed by expansive glazing and stunning vistas. The separate lounge and library provide quiet, more intimate spaces ideal for relaxed evenings or hosting guests in comfort.

Automated sliding doors open to the expansive pool deck, where a sheltered 20-metre lap pool, spa, sauna, and fire pit create an exceptional outdoor living environment equally suited to entertaining or unwinding in complete privacy.

The architecture is unmistakable. Signature curved rooflines, sculpted plaster finishes, and iconic Athfield features give the property enduring character. American walnut is used throughout, sourced and milled specifically for the flooring and cabinetry. The quality of this craftsmanship is a testament to the Wellington artisans who worked on it.

The walnut and glass staircase leads down to the bedrooms, each offering intimate bush and harbour views. The master bedroom features a generous ensuite, walk-in wardrobe with easy access to the external spa and sauna. Two additional bedrooms, a rumpus room, and a large bathroom complete the lower level. Separate from the main house is a beautifully appointed guest suite, providing privacy for visiting family and friends.

The landscaped grounds have been carefully considered, employing extensive planting to complement the natural environment. A path winds through the established kauri grove down to the bay below, while Golden Waitomo limestone terraces, paths and walls add a timeless quality.

Every element has been designed for effortless living, including internal-access garaging, ample storage and multiple entry points. Among them, a distinctive pedestrian bridge that creates a truly memorable sense of arrival.

This is a home with enormous architectural pedigree, delivered in a relaxed, playful style. Private, peaceful and beautifully connected to both nature and the city, it is perfectly suited to those seeking a coastal retreat without compromise.
