Set on 54.87 hectares (more or less), Te Muri Ridge offers an extraordinary waterfront estate that is in a world of its own. Elevated above the estuary, this residence takes in expansive views across Mahurangi and Te Muri Regional Parks, with the coastline stretching from Whangaparaoa towards the Coromandel. Peaceful and surrounded by extensive native planting, it is difficult to believe a setting of this scale and seclusion exists so close to Auckland City.

Architecturally designed by Richard Priest, the home harmonises with its environment drawing inspiration from the distinctive silhouette of Cudlip Point. There is a relaxed elegance to the design and an understated luxury throughout, with American oak floors, expansive windows and an abundance of natural light creating a serene coastal feel. From sunrises over the water to evening light settling across the hills, the outlook is an ever-present part of daily living.

At its heart is the kitchen, dining and main lounge, designed for effortless living and generous entertaining. The contemporary kitchen is beautifully integrated, while a gas fireplace brings warmth and ambience to the room. Wide glass doors open directly to the solar-heated infinity pool and spa, where the edge appears to meet the estuary beyond. On the opposite side, the interiors extend to a sheltered courtyard with an outdoor fireplace, creating another place to gather and dine throughout the seasons.

Generous proportions allow the floorplan to unfold naturally, balancing shared areas with quieter retreats. Beyond the central living, a separate snug with its own gas fireplace provides an intimate escape, while another wing has been arranged for family and guests. Each bedroom opens directly to the gardens and scenery beyond, revealing a different perspective from every room. A well-equipped media room incorporates a projector and screen, wine fridge and kitchenette, with the flexibility to accommodate longer-stay visitors when required. One of two dedicated studies provides a quiet place to work downstairs, while the laundry and internal-access double garage complete this level. Upstairs is reserved for the master suite, positioned to take full advantage of the elevation and spectacular outlook, accompanied by a second, spacious study away from the main areas below.

Tucked away from the main residence, the barn introduces another element to the offering. A beautifully appointed one bedroom apartment gives family and guests separate accommodation, with drive-through, six car garaging below. Alongside, the tennis court, cabana and a second outdoor fireplace form a sheltered recreational precinct.

Neighbouring one of Auckland’s most beautiful regional parks and overlooking another, this estate holds an extraordinary position between coast and country. Mahurangi Harbour, protected parkland and pristine beaches are close at hand, yet Auckland City remains within easy reach.

Created for long summers, family gathered around the table and quieter moments overlooking the water, this private coastal sanctuary combines genuine seclusion with a stunning stretch of coastline, all within reach of Auckland City. This exquisite offering is best appreciated in person, get in contact to arrange a private viewing.
