489 Riddell Road, Glendowie, Auckland City, Auckland

Indulge in an unparalleled living experience with this one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. This magnificent resort-style estate is a harmonious fusion of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. An extraordinary sanctuary that redefines luxury living.

Crafted from solid masonry, the home's unique arc-shaped design, embraced by striking Palisade walls, frames the serene waters and islands of the Gulf. Every detail is a testament to perfection, from the earthy, curved plaster walls that evoke a sense of grounded tranquility to the Japanese Feng Shui master's touch, engaged to ensure optimised air circulation, vibrant energy flow, and a serene, cocoon-like ambiance.

The ground floor features beautiful Italian limestone and hardwood flooring, soft and warm underfoot. Curving graciously around the heated infinity pool each room opens to outdoor entertaining areas where you can relax or entertain in total privacy with breathtaking views and the sound of the ocean lapping the shore below. When the beach beckons, you can access it via an adjoining staircase.

The kitchen is a gourmets delight with every feature you would expect in a residence of this calibre including triple Miele ovens, coffee machine, induction cook top, wine fridge and separate scullery. Family and guests can congregate around the huge marble topped island or choose from formal and informal indoor dining areas or the outdoor dining area complete with an open fire and Louvretec roof that is the perfect spot for dining alfresco year-round. The spacious yet intimate living room is a cosy retreat featuring a gas fire, projector and drop-down screen.

A beautiful, curved staircase leads upstairs to the master suite, guest suite, two large bedrooms and additional living areas, or just take the lift. Every room is private and spacious with 6-star amenities. The master suite is a private sanctuary with picture windows showcasing Rangitoto Island in all its glory. The spa-like ensuite boasts a stone bath and basins, double shower, separate toilet, a walk-in robe and a private space for relaxing with a view.
