456 Sea View Road, Onetangi, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Perched above beautiful Onetangi Beach, this once in a lifetime ridgetop retreat gazes across the Hauraki Gulf in uninterrupted serenity, capturing the very essence of relaxed island style. From its elevated position, where you can hear the waves break on the beach below, be captivated by sweeping 180º views that stretch endlessly across the shimmering bay. Soak up the panorama enjoyed equally from the infinity pool, deck and various living spaces as you seemingly float above the white sands and water below.

The pool is a destination in itself — complete with a sundeck, diving deck, changing room and powder room, outdoor shower and storage — ensuring every detail of this retreat invites relaxation and fun.

Designed by Macintosh Harris and masterfully constructed in 2012, the barn-style home was further refined with significant enhancements and additions in 2016. Every element of the design pays homage to its natural surroundings, blending craftsmanship, comfort and contemporary style in perfect harmony.

One of those additions is an elegant, self-contained studio complementing the main home, offering luxurious privacy. Here, floor to ceiling windows slide open to reveal that extraordinary vista. It works equally well as the main suite or a luxe guest suite.

Outdoors, mature landscaped grounds include a zig zag path down the slope below the home with contemplation areas along the way. There's multiple car parking, an all-weather turf, plus a courtyard with open fire and heaters, perfect for long lunches, cosy evenings or moments of quiet reflection.

For those seeking an understated escape into a world of their own, this remarkable Waiheke compound offers an experience that defies comparison.
