Twenty years in the same careful ownership tells you something about a home. Some places are simply hard to leave.

High on the ridge, life feels beautifully removed. Start the morning at the kitchen bench, coffee in hand, watching the car ferry make its way across the water while horses graze quietly in the neighbouring paddock. Birds provide the soundtrack, the valley below is wonderfully still and there's a sense of privacy that feels increasingly rare.

As the day draws to a close, sunsets transform the outlook before the lights of Auckland begin to twinkle across the water. Then darkness falls, the stars appear and on a clear Waiheke night the constellations overhead are spectacular.

The main house has the warmth of a relaxed island lodge, with vaulted ceilings, generous glazing, two bedrooms, an office/media room and a well-appointed kitchen looking out to the incredible outlook

A separate one-bedroom board-and-batten sleepout brings another dimension, whether as additional space for extended family, guests or older children. Most recently, the two dwellings have been rented independently.

Yet for all the peace and privacy, life here is remarkably connected. Walk to Palm Beach in ten minutes, Surfdale in fifteen or Oneroa in thirty, while the bus from the ferry drops you virtually at the gate.

Horses over the fence, ferries on the water, birdsong and Auckland sparkling in the distance.

After twenty years, this premium retreat, on the ridge, is ready for its next chapter.
