Some properties are bought for the view. This one is bought for the life it makes possible.

Trapeze Volant is a single freehold title carrying two complete, self-contained residences above Paihia. Across them: five bedrooms, four bathrooms, 484m² of internal space and 1,406m² of land backing onto native bush. Two homes under one ownership means the main residence stays entirely private while family, guests or staff have a front door of their own.

The build is European in feel and uncompromising in materials: 70-year-old Italian mountain spruce through the interiors, a pivot entry onto a timber staircase, Miele-appointed kitchens with marble, and cedar batten detailing on a rooftop terrace made for long evenings. Expansive decks run to panoramic coastal and water views. Fibre to both homes.

There is a helipad on site. Salt Air can collect you from Auckland Airport and land you at your own door. For an owner who lives offshore much of the year, that one detail changes how often this place gets used.

The setting does the rest. Waitangi Golf Club is close by, the Treaty Grounds are minutes away, and Paihia's restaurants and waterfront are at the doorstep. Some of the finest sailing and game fishing water anywhere sits out front.

Estate management is in place: short-term rental management while you are away, year-round security, inspections and caretaking.

Who can buy: New Zealand citizens and residents; Australian and Singaporean citizens; and Active Investor Plus, Investor 1 and Investor 2 visa holders, who may purchase one New Zealand home above NZ$5m with Overseas Investment Office consent. Overseas buyers should obtain their own legal and licensed immigration advice.

Private inspections by appointment, helicopter transfers from Auckland arranged.
