15 Ridgelea Road, Long Bay, North Shore City, Auckland

Luxuriously generous, this outstanding architect-designed coastal approx. 550sqm residence calmly contemplates the wild beauty of its breath-taking natural landscape. The magnificent rare 5,005sqm property is elevated above Long Bay in an exclusive street among a handful of huge lots with full utilities – water, fibre and gas. Ocean views sweep to the horizon.

Of an international calibre, the design sets the scene for a leisurely beach holiday lifestyle with village facilities a stroll away. A grand, extra high, sundrenched communal living space and adjacent lounge embrace the outlook through floor to ceiling glass wrapped in a vast north-facing entertainer’s deck and infinity pool. Top quality materials, subtle lighting and clean detailing create a cohesive whole with warm timber floors and cabinetry. Bespoke textured walls add to a serene, sophisticated ambience.

The arrangement of rooms within the bigger space achieves fluid connections with the garden and a see-through aspect. Featuring Gaggenau appliances, a wine fridge and a central marble bench, the sleek kitchen hides behind a massive marble entertainers’ island, perpendicular to the space. A second kitchen with gas hobs invites wok cooking and an office creates versatility with sliders at both ends beside the guest bathroom.

A huge laundry is practical for families and five en-suite bedrooms upstairs gather around an airy third lounge. All but two bedrooms extend to an upper floor balcony. In its own wing, the master has a glamorous bespoke dressing room. Lavish bathrooms boast richly grained floating marble vanities, exquisite copper Progetto hardware and underfloor heating. The rest of the home is centrally heated.

Stunningly beautiful, this extraordinary brand-new home is convenient – eight minutes to Albany Megacentre, Westfield Albany Shopping Mall and 10 minute’s walk to Long Bay Town Centre and Regional Park plus about 10 minutes’ drive to top private schools, Pinehurst and Kristin and Massey University. It has easy motorway access for a quick commute to Auckland’s CBD and zoned for Long Bay School and College.
