Some homes announce themselves.
Others simply exist in positions so rare they need no introduction.
Quietly positioned within one of Hatfields Beach's most tightly held clifftop enclaves, this extraordinary residence occupies a place that can take decades to secure and generations to release. Below, a private pathway descends to the sand. Above, uninterrupted views stretch across the vast expanse of the Hauraki Gulf. Between the two sits a home designed to embrace both.
This is what it means to live with the horizon.
Architecture with Conviction.
Conceived by designer Andy Coltart, the architecture reflects a disciplined clarity of vision. Drawing inspiration from the timeless language of Plantation design, this home reinterprets these principles through contemporary coastal form - crisp geometry, expansive glazing, and a palette defined by quiet restraint.
Finished in Dulux Ohai, the exterior settles effortlessly into the clifftop landscape, allowing the sea and sky to remain the dominant presence. The architecture does not compete with its surroundings - it frames them.
Constructed by Ze Build, award-winning builders recognised for delivering homes of enduring quality, the execution reflects craftsmanship designed to stand the test of time. This is a residence created not merely to a standard, but to a legacy.
Adding to its distinction, this property has been selected to feature in New Zealand House & Garden 2026 - a recognition reserved for homes of exceptional architectural merit and design clarity.
Materiality & Light.
Inside, vaulted white-beamed ceilings elevate the principal living space to cathedral-like proportions, creating volume without sacrificing warmth. Natural light moves through the home with quiet precision - soft morning light across the water, golden afternoon tones over timber floors, and evening shadows that sharpen the home's architectural lines.
The kitchen and walk-in wardrobe, crafted by Marton Lee, demonstrate seamless precision - bespoke joinery, clean planes, and an attention to detail that favours restraint over excess. Additional bespoke joinery throughout the home, refined by Nick Rowe, completes an interior resolved with remarkable clarity.
Every detail has been considered. From integrated storage to instant boiling water at the breakfast bar, the home balances refined design with effortless daily living.
A Floor Plan Designed to Live Well.
The upper level forms the ceremonial heart of the residence - expansive living and dining spaces oriented entirely toward the ocean, anchored by a gas fireplace that introduces warmth and intimacy to the scale of the room.
The master suite is positioned as a private retreat - a place to wake with the tide and retire beneath the evening sky.
Below, the lower level offers something rarely executed with this level of thought: a fully self-contained living wing. Independent outdoor access, additional bedrooms, extended living areas and a kitchenette create a domain capable of operating entirely autonomously - ideal for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or private retreat.
This is not simply a functional floor plan. It is one carefully orchestrated.
The Rare Duality of Clifftop and Beach.
Clifftop homes offer perspective.
Beach homes offer presence.
To possess both is exceptionally rare.
A private pathway leads directly to the sands of Hatfields Beach, arriving at a quiet and unhurried stretch of coastline far removed from the activity of more populated shores. The beach below feels almost private. The home above remains elevated, composed, and absolute in its outlook.
This duality defines the property: private beach access without surrendering position.
A Generational Holding.
Moments from Orewa Village and within easy reach of Auckland, this residence offers genuine coastal retreat without the compromise of isolation.
This is not simply a home.
It is a position.
A statement of permanence.
And an opportunity rarely repeated.
Strictly by invitation or private appointment only.
