155 Ocean View Road, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland

It might feel as if you're on the Cote d'Azur or the Italian Riviera, but you're actually looking out over the clear turquoise waters and pristine white sands of Oneroa Bay.

You're also right in the heart of Oneroa village, near the shops, and just a stone's throw from the cafe and restaurant hub of the Island. And this large beach villa contains a brilliant hidden secret - it's actually two fully self-contained, separate homes in one. One side of the property comprises a four-bedroom villa, and the other side is a three-bedroom villa. Both with excellent, fully fitted kitchens, bathrooms and living.

With elegant ceramic flooring throughout, wooden shutters on the windows and a splendid, paved garden courtyard with lion's head water feature and even its own petanque piste, the Mediterranean style of this property creates its very special charm and character. The piece de resistance is, of course, the large sun-filled, north-facing deck with its stunning views and the ever-changing scenery as boats sail in and out of the bay.

This exceptional property in a premium location offers the discerning buyer so many possibilities. Retain it as two separate dwellings that might suit an extended family, live in one and rent the other, rent both as holiday homes, or maybe even remodel to create a larger luxury residence. If you're looking for an outstanding home, a smart investment or a property that could be both, the only way to really appreciate everything that is on offer here is to arrange a viewing.

Auction on site Saturday 28 June (unless sold prior).
