Escape to a stunning coastal retreat at its finest. This home and environment are breathtaking - serene and private, with uninterrupted beach and mountain views over the Waitakere Ranges this property is separated from the rest.

Architecturally designed by Hamish Gunns and featured on Grand Designs New Zealand, this is a modern masterpiece crafted without compromise.
