Arana Drive, Karaka – Private Waterfront Resort Estate

Positioned at the very tip of the peninsula and surrounded entirely by water and complete privacy, this extraordinary 4.02-hectare (approx. 10-acre) waterfront estate offers a rare opportunity to reside within one of Karaka’s most exclusive gated enclaves — a tightly held community of just six substantial properties.

Only approximately 35 minutes from Auckland’s CBD, this is resort-style living without compromise.

The substantial 893m² north-facing residence has recently undergone a comprehensive, high-end renovation. A brand-new roof, fresh paint, luxurious new carpeting and a refined interior fit-out have been completed to an exceptional standard throughout.

From almost every window, sweeping views extend across rolling lawns, a meandering river, tranquil farmland and the shimmering waters of the Manukau Inlet. The north-facing orientation captures all-day sun and spectacular sunsets.

Upstairs, the expansive master suite provides a private retreat, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe, luxurious ensuite, and its own balcony — the perfect vantage point for evening sunsets over the water.

Extensive storage is complemented by both a separate two-car garage and an additional four-car garage, providing exceptional space and flexibility.
