AI summary
A historic Waiheke estate at 40 Rothschild Tce, Oakura Bay, is for sale, attracting significant interest. Once a Rothschild family Cold War refuge, the 4.95-hectare property features two private islands, 1.7km of coastline, and a boutique vineyard.
While there is confirmed interest from Hollywood, listing agent Caleb Paterson reports a surprising volume of engagement from local New Zealand families. These buyers are drawn to the "legacy aspect" and the rare opportunity to develop this unique coastal property.
Originally developed in the late 1800s, the kauri villa was built by the Dewitt family.
The estate is a 4.95-hectare coastal property.
In 1981, John and Eve Bollard restored the villa and planted a two-hectare organic vineyard.
