20 Harpoon Hill, Great Barrier Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands, Auckland

Perched 100 metres above sea level, this exquisite home is designed to captivate, offering breathtaking panoramic views across the Hauraki Gulf, Whangaparapara Harbour, and the mountain ranges stretching toward Mount Hobson. Here, you’ll experience unparalleled peace and tranquillity, spectacular sunsets, and expansive indoor-outdoor living in a truly remarkable setting.

From the moment you step inside, you’re embraced by timeless craftsmanship — exposed rafters, rich timber linings, and beautiful matai flooring create warmth and character throughout. Individually crafted furniture made from native New Zealand timber enhances the home’s natural aesthetic.

Built in 2004, this thoughtfully designed two-storey pole house features a split-level ground floor. The dining and lounge areas flow seamlessly onto a wide wraparound deck — perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the view. A few steps up, you’ll find the well-appointed kitchen, guest bedroom, and bathroom.

Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys elevated views, complemented by an open-plan study and a spacious bathroom complete with full-sized bathtub, separate shower, and separate toilet. There is flexibility to partition the study into an additional bedroom, or alternatively convert the shed into a charming “sleepout” for guests.

Property Highlights:

· Extensive chattel list

· New solar power system with lithium battery storage

· Large water storage tank plus fresh spring water backup

· Outdoor pizza oven — the perfect place to entertain while enjoying the vista

Whangaparapara retains its original settlement charm, with properties spread generously along the harbour frontage, preserving privacy and a peaceful atmosphere.

Conveniently located just minutes from Harpoon Hill and the Great Barrier Lodge, as well as the wharf, boat ramp, dinghy dock, and fuel pumps. The area serves as the gateway to the island’s premier walking tracks, including the renowned Aotea Track. The picturesque golf course, mountain bike trails, and nearby Claris — home to the airport, health centre, shops, garage, arts village, council library, cafés, and restaurants — are all just a short drive away.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful retreat in one of Great Barrier Island’s most sought-after locations.
