Set quietly along the breathtaking shoreline of the Cornwallis Peninsula, this extraordinary seaside residence offers a lifestyle that is almost impossible to replicate. Completed in 2021 and masterfully designed by the acclaimed team at Fernandes Architects, this award winning eco-home is a stunning example of contemporary coastal architecture - where thoughtful design, advanced materials and an unrivalled setting come together in perfect harmony.

Positioned on an astonishing 1,760sqm waterfront section with direct beach access, the 172sqm residence embraces the sea from almost every angle. Designed in a striking T-shaped configuration, the home opens effortlessly to its surroundings, with a generous east-west deck forming the heart of outdoor living - the perfect place to entertain, unwind, and soak in uninterrupted views across the ever changing waters of the Manukau Harbour.

Inside, the home is both sophisticated and relaxed - purpose built for coastal living. Elevated raked ceilings create a wonderful sense of space within the open plan living and dining zone, while large expanses of glass frame the spectacular seascape beyond. The kitchen integrates beautifully within the living area, complemented by premium blonde oak herringbone flooring that is both elegant and perfectly suited to sandy feet and seaside life.

The main level hosts three bedrooms including a serene master retreat with ensuite, alongside a stylish family bathroom. A cleverly concealed staircase leads to a charming upper-level fourth bedroom, a private hideaway that children or visiting guests will adore.

Beyond the home itself lies the true star of the property - the remarkable seaside grounds. The expansive, predominantly flat lawn stretches toward the water's edge, protected by a thoughtfully constructed stone seawall that ensures comfortable elevation above the high tide line. Here, an undercover BBQ and entertaining area provides the ultimate setting for long summer evenings overlooking the harbour.

Adding to the rarity, the property includes its own private boat ramp and winch, making spontaneous fishing trips or harbour adventures part of everyday life.

This is a place where nature becomes part of daily life. Wake to spectacular sunrises over the harbour, watch dolphins and orca glide past the shoreline, and enjoy the extraordinary abundance of the sea - from snapper and flounder to crayfish and oysters gathered just moments from your door. With the surrounding regional park providing endless bushwalks and birdlife, and the ocean inviting you in for a refreshing swim, every day here feels like a retreat.

Properties of this calibre - with beachfront access, architectural pedigree, and such a spectacular natural setting - are incredibly rare.
