Waiheke Island meets the Florida Keys with this classic offering set on an extensive 1,685 square meters of waterfront. The corner of this quiet cul-de-sac is an unassuming setting, removed from the noise of summer crowds.

The living area spans one central massive floor where a number of designer seating and dining zones interplay. A jaw-dropping Master Chef’s commercial kitchen is replete with any chef’s demands, able to triple for self-catering, small functions or any culinary-tasting event.

Retire to one of five sumptuous bedrooms, three with en-suites. 360 degree verandas open all rooms to revitalizing sea air. A lower floor, with concrete base is flanked by dual double garage entrances and is ripe for further development. Across the lawn, through your gate, the seaside tempts with fishing and boating as the season dictates.

This fusion of up-beat urban edge and casual beach-side sophistication is an experience you must have, as are the rainbows and sunsets which are more prevalent on this side of the island.
