LUXURY LIVING WITH PANORAMIC SEA VIEWS

Set above Veronica Channel, the gateway to Opua Marina and Wharf, this exceptional home offers breathtaking sea views. Relax in privacy and comfort while dolphins leap high along the waterways, marvel at the size of the cruise ships anchoring out, watch the colourful Wednesday yacht racing and soak in the changing sky and watercolours each day. We can appreciate why the first Harbour Master for the Bay of Islands chose to build on this site. He knew it was the most strategic position to observe water activity.

Interiors designed by a renowned international artist, this residence exudes quality and effortless style. The striking entry atrium leads to an expansive open-plan living space with a lounge, library, study area and luxurious floating bed. Expansive windows frame spectacular sea views, while a wood burner ensures warmth and ambience throughout winter. Also on this level, the north-east-facing master suite features dual walk-in wardrobes, an ensuite and a private deck with a porch swing. A second bedroom completes this floor.

The lower level is perfect for entertaining, with a spacious living room, dining area and doors that seamlessly connect to outdoor lounge and dining spaces. A gas fire and heat pump provide comfort throughout this zone. The entertainer's kitchen boasts premium appliances, a walk-in pantry and a built-in wine fridge. This level also includes two additional bedrooms, a stylish bathroom and a separate laundry.

Beyond the main living areas is ample storage, a glass shed, and a versatile two-room studio currently used as an artist's studio. With water already plumbed in, this space offers plenty of potential. The sub-tropical landscaped gardens feature winding pathways leading to a nearby beach access and walkway to Paihia or the Opua Ferry.

Just 8km from Paihia, this peaceful retreat provides easy access to the best of the Bay of Islands, with fishing and boating at your doorstep. This exceptional home is perfect as a full-time residence, holiday retreat or lockup-and-leave summer escape. The vendor is ready to move on, and with chattels available, this is a rare opportunity to step straight into a dream lifestyle. With price expectations below a registered valuation, don't hesitate to call today for a private viewing.
