VILLA MARIE de la Mer, is an elegant, gated, and secure family estate, thoughtfully designed as a generational landholding.



Constructed from solid masonry and finished with hand-sourced European fixtures, including extensive travertine and quartzite, this home commands attention.



Planned and designed over a five year period, the palatial home, offering unique one level living, has vast open spaces within a 620 sqm floor plan. A soaring 5.6-metre entryway delivers immediate impact, while the consistent 4-metre stud height throughout the main living areas enhances a real sense of scale.



Years of planning have shaped the land, creating an expansive building platform on the estate’s highest point to capture sun and panoramic north facing and city views.



The estate spans over three hectares, with a professionally managed vineyard positioned on the northern slopes. Walking tracks lead through landscaped grounds to the private guest cottage and onward to the beach, offering outlook and viewpoints along the way.



The property is just a ten-minute helicopter flight or thirty-five minutes by ferry from Auckland Central Business District. The Kennedy Point Ferry Terminal is just a ten-minute drive away.



The grounds have been meticulously landscaped with a significant investment in planting, creating a series of garden settings throughout the property.



The interior speaks volumes with a clean palette that showcases hand-sourced treasures from abroad, including French fire surrounds, chandeliers, and an underground vaulted wine cellar. Timeless yet current, the decor carries a strong sense of Vogue styling.



Waiheke Island is internationally recognised as the "Island of Wine" due to its exceptional vineyards and wineries. The island has a vibrant arts scene, world class restaurants and wineries, plus opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing hiking and water sports.
