Style, space and vast views

At the top of its sweeping drive is a house to take your breath away. The art deco style exterior and stunning views from Onetangi right out towards Great and Little Barrier islands are complemented by its setting - in gardens with lemon trees, olives and formal areas for alfresco dining.

The main house is positioned to make the most of the expansive sea views from almost every room. There's a gorgeous open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with a log fire and tiled floors. The windows and bi-fold doors open onto a wide entertaining terrace that captures those views in all their glory.

The light and airy master bedroom with doors opening out to the view has walk-in wardrobe and an immaculate ensuite.

There are two more equally attractive bedrooms, one with sliding doors opening to the deck and sea views, and there's a family bathroom tiled in the Italian style.

As if all that wasn't enough, the house also has a one-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance. The current owners rent it out as the 'Vista del Mare' holiday accommodation. It is air-conditioned with a kitchenette, a modernised bathroom with shower, and its own private terrace which looks out over the Hauraki Gulf.

And here on the hills at the western end of Onetangi, you are still only minutes from the largest beach on the island, with its more than 2km of white sand, great restaurants and shops. Come and see for yourself what a great location this is.
