Elevated Island living in the heart of Blackpool
THE LOCATION
This is Waiheke living as it should be - elevated, private and effortlessly connected to everything that makes island life special.
Set in the heart of Blackpool, one of Waiheke Island’s most sought‑after neighbourhoods, the home sits just minutes from the Matiatia Ferry and an easy stroll to Oneroa village. Cafes, shops, beaches and transport are all close at hand, yet the property remains quietly removed from passing traffic.
The elevated position provides privacy and separation while retaining excellent accessibility, a balance that continues to underpin the enduring appeal of Blackpool properties within the Waiheke market.
THE RESIDENCE
Built approximately 15 years ago with family living in mind, this 192sqm home is arranged over three well‑considered levels and has proven its functionality and flexibility over time.
Mid level
Accommodates the main living areas, including kitchen, dining and lounge, enhanced by high ceilings and strong indoor‑outdoor flow to the rear entertaining deck. A fireplace provides warmth during cooler months. The master bedroom is positioned in a separate northern wing, offering privacy and includes a full ensuite bathroom with bath.
Upper level
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on the upper floor, providing comfortable accommodation for children, guests or extended family. The current owners raised three children here, reflecting the practicality and balance of the layout. Each bedroom benefits from the elevated position and water views.
Lower level
Currently configured as an office with its own entrance, the lower level is largely self‑contained and offers excellent flexibility. This space could suit guests, teenagers, extended family or short‑stay accommodation, reflecting how similar homes in Blackpool are often enjoyed.
THE VIEWS
With a south‑west facing aspect, the home captures wide, open views across Huruhi Bay and onward to Auckland. The outlook is both sheltered and expansive, and is enjoyed from most areas of the home rather than from a single vantage point.
THE OPPORTUNITY
After 15 years as a much‑loved family home, the owners are downsizing, presenting an opportunity to secure a property that combines a central Blackpool location, established views, a flexible layout and potential for supplementary income.
Properties of this calibre in this location are tightly held, with buyer demand consistently driven by ferry access, village proximity and view quality.
