189 Ocean View Road, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland

There's a moment, usually just after sunrise, when Oneroa Bay goes completely still. The village hasn't quite woken up, the water turns glassy, and the world feels like it belongs only to those lucky enough to be watching from above. That's life at 189 Ocean View Road. Set proudly on a clifftop site of 1148 square metres, this three-bedroom home sits high above Oneroa Bay, taking in panoramic views that stretch across the bay and sweep over the village below. Boats come and go. The tide changes. The light never stays the same for long. And here's the part people don't expect. Out the front gate, a walking track drops gently down to Pururi Road and the beach, no main road, no traffic, no compromise. Just a quiet path and a short road that delivers you straight to the sand. Morning swims. Barefoot walks home. Coffee in the village five minutes later. It's clifftop living without the isolation. Village living without the noise. From here, the beach, cafes, restaurants and ferry are all an easy stroll away, yet when you return home, you're above it all again, watching Oneroa do what Oneroa has always done. This is one of those positions that rarely changes hands. The kind people talk about years later and say, "I should have bought that one." Now it's available.
