Hidden above the Pauatahanui Inlet, this exceptional architectural estate offers a rare convergence of privacy, outlook, and lifestyle flexibility - just 20 to 30 minutes from Wellington City, the Hutt Valley, and the Kapiti Coast.
Set within approximately 8,741 square metres of landscaped grounds and regenerating native bush, the property unfolds as a secluded retreat. A discreet, palm-lined driveway reveals a residence that feels more like a private sanctuary than a suburban home, yet remains effortlessly connected to the region's key centres, amenities, and transport links.
Designed and evolved over nearly three decades by the principals of a leading New Zealand architecture and interior practice, the five-bedroom home reflects a deep understanding of light,
proportion, and everyday liveability. Generous living and dining spaces flow seamlessly to courtyards, decks, and gardens, framing expansive inlet views while supporting both quiet retreat and large-scale entertaining.
Lifestyle is integral rather than indulgent. A covered swimming pool, spa pool, gym, and established grounds mean leisure is woven into daily life. Waterside walks, bird reserves, and
inlet-based recreation sit moments away, while forest parks and golf courses extend the offering beyond the gate.
A substantial, fully lined four-car garage - currently configured as a home-office wing - provides exceptional flexibility for modern executive or entrepreneurial living. Whether
supporting a professional team, creative practice, extended family, or future adaptation, the estate responds easily to changing needs.
Beyond its current lifestyle appeal, the property also presents long-term optionality, with potential subdivision opportunities, possible building sites for additional dwellings, and dual drive-on access from both Paremata Road and Molyneaux Close - a rare attribute in this tightly held location.
For those seeking privacy, perspective, and a lifestyle asset of enduring quality, this is an opportunity rarely available in the Wellington region.
