Proudly positioned above Gisborne City, this architecturally designed residence is widely admired as one of the region's most exceptional homes. For years, Sunday drives have paused at this very outlook, taking in a property that sits confidently among other high-calibre residences, commanding breathtaking views and an unmistakable presence.
Lovingly built by the current owners and now offered to the market for the very first time, this is a home of genuine substance, quality, and legacy. Constructed from Oamaru Stone, it reflects a level of craftsmanship and foresight that would be almost impossible to replicate today.
Spanning an impressive 351sqm on a 1575sqm site, each detail has been executed to an exceptional standard - including warm wooden floors flowing through the main living areas, and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring rich rimu cabinetry and granite benchtops.
The first floor is dedicated to everyday living and entertaining, offering three distinct lounge areas and two dining spaces that provide flexibility for both relaxed family living and larger gatherings. Expansive windows frame sweeping views across Gisborne City to the ocean, while the west-facing lounge captures beautiful afternoon light and spectacular sunsets.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress, with the master suite a true sanctuary, generous in size and beautifully appointed with a walk-in wardrobe, a luxurious ensuite featuring a large spa bath, and its own balcony - the perfect spot for a morning coffee while you take in those magnificent views. This level also includes two further bedrooms, conveniently connected by a shared ensuite, along with a dedicated office overlooking the main foyer entrance.
Guests are equally well catered for with a discreetly positioned guest room on the lower level, complete with ensuite.
Outdoors, the setting is designed to let the outlook take centre stage - the grounds are simple, functional, and easy-care, while a tiled entertaining area surrounds the saltwater swimming pool and a Bose sound system enhances the atmosphere of outdoor dining, relaxing, or hosting friends.
With only one neighbouring property, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home that is both private and iconic. After raising their family here, the owners are now downsizing and invite another family to create their own memories in this epic abode.
An irreplaceable home. A landmark position. A once-in-a-generation opportunity.
