Perfectly positioned on the seaward side of Ngapipi Road, one of only nine privileged residences to enjoy this rare waterfront position, this architecturally designed home commands breathtaking panoramic views across the Ōrākei Basin to Auckland’s glittering skyline.
From the street, you may never imagine what awaits beyond the gates. Yet once inside, an entirely different world unfolds, a private waterfront sanctuary that ranks among the most unique homes in Auckland.
Set on 1,158sqm of prime freehold land with approximately 326sqm of versatile living, the residence has been thoughtfully designed so that every living space and bedroom embraces the water. From peaceful dawn reflections to dramatic sunsets when the city skyline illuminates the harbour, the outlook is ever-changing and endlessly captivating.
Step inside and the atmosphere shifts immediately. The outside world fades away as the home reveals its true character , a tranquil coastal retreat in the heart of the city.
Upstairs, expansive living areas provide the perfect setting for family life and entertaining. The open-plan lounge with gas fireplace flows seamlessly to a sun-drenched deck, ideal for sunset drinks, summer gatherings and simply watching the water change with the light. A modern kitchen with generous storage and gas cooking sits at the heart of the home, while the master suite enjoys spectacular water views, a generous ensuite and balcony access, creating a true private sanctuary.
Downstairs offers exceptional flexibility for families and guests alike, with three large bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an ensuite), and a second living area opening to a spacious terrace and swimming pool. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens, this outdoor setting is perfectly designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
Practicality has not been overlooked, with a double garage and extensive off-street parking for additional vehicles, boats or hobbies.
Despite its sense of waterfront seclusion, the location is remarkably convenient. Ōrākei Bay Village, Eastridge Shopping Centre and Coates Road shops are just minutes away, with easy motorway access and public transport nearby. The property is also zoned for Ōrākei School and Selwyn College, while the beaches of the Eastern Bays are within easy reach.
Adding further value to this extraordinary address is the visionary Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai waterfront project. Once completed in 2026, the upgraded Ōrākei Basin boardwalk will create an uninterrupted coastal promenade linking the Basin to Tāmaki Drive. Positioned directly in front of this home yet discreetly screened by mature native trees, the new world-class waterfront pathway will provide an unparalleled setting for walking, cycling and jogging along one of Auckland’s most spectacular coastal landscapes.
This is more than a home — it is a rare waterfront legacy in a tightly held location, offering a lifestyle where the tranquillity of the sea meets the energy of the city.
Opportunities like this are extraordinarily rare. Discover one of Auckland’s true waterfront secrets.
