244B Big Bay Road, Awhitu, Franklin, Auckland

• Character-filled elevated seaside home with expansive harbour views and expansive decking.
• A private coastal sanctuary surrounded by native bush and abundant birdlife.
• Only 20 metres to the foreshore with ramp access for kayaking, swimming and fishing.
• Space for potential minor dwelling.

Tucked away on the breathtaking Awhitu Peninsula, this hidden gem at Big Bay offers more than a holiday home - it’s a private sanctuary for bird watchers, nature lovers, and anyone yearning for a quiet life immersed in the beauty of the land and sea.

Positioned just above the shoreline, the home captures sweeping 180 degree views across the Manukau Harbour to Auckland’s skyline and the Sky Tower. Native birdsong fills the air, and the lush tree canopy provides the perfect setting for peaceful living, meditation, or inspired creativity.

The house spans three levels. There is a striking atrium-style master bedroom on the top level, with an ensuite, and a picture window that showcases the ever-changing coastal vista. The main level includes the kitchen/dining, living areas, another bathroom, and a single bedroom. Downstairs, a guest bedroom and bathroom provide flexible accommodation for visitors.

The open-plan kitchen and dining space flows onto a wide wrap-around deck, ideal for afternoon lounging or evening meals to the sound of the sea. In winter, the cosy lounge with a wood burner becomes a warm, intimate space to unwind.

An engineered parking deck simplifies access, and the adjacent grove offers potential for additional visitor accommodation - perhaps a stylish container pod nestled among the trees.

It’s just a short 20 metre stroll down to the foreshore, where a ramp provides easy access for swimming, fishing, or launching your kayak into the harbour. A private beach lies just around the bend. The surrounding native bush teems with birdlife, offering a constant connection to the rhythms of nature.

Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a permanent escape from the city, this rare property is a true retreat with potential - private, peaceful, yet full of life.
