There's much to see, and so much to sea

This brand-new house ought to be on Grand Designs. It's beautiful, inside and out. It's also perched on the hill overlooking Surfdale beach and tranquil Huruhi Bay. Not surprisingly the view is remarkable.

Outside there's a two-car carport and a separate boat port, with plenty of off-street parking. And there's a massive storage shed and a garden shed set in the fully landscaped 1457 m2 section.

A magnificent two-storey timber clad exterior greets you at the top of the drive. Press the electronic entry keypad and walk into the polished concrete floor hallway with its elegant floating staircase.

On the ground floor, you will find two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a large office/media room, as well as a huge, separate laundry. Bedroom three even has a tilt-away bed, so that it can also be used as a second large office with a great view.

Upstairs you'll find a light-flood, open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge with American Oak flooring and deck-width sliding doors.

The master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe have their own separate wing and open out onto the large seaward deck. In fact, the seaward deck outside the master has been reinforced to hold a spa and fitted with power and water supply. All ready for you to soak in the view after installation. This deck is also wired for three exterior thermal heaters, and it has a louvre ceiling for shelter.

This place really does offer you the height of comfort. There's underfloor heating, gas fireplaces inside and outside.

The house is also solar powered - 16 solar panels on the roof create a system that is monitored by Enlighten. We can even show you the monthly reports so you can see much you save with solar, not to mention the fact that and you can sell power back to Vector.

If all that wasn't enough, the races for America's Cup "E" course are planned to take place just beyond Huruhi Bay itself. And these are arguably some of the best decks to watch Team New Zealand win it from.
