We are proud to launch this property to the world as it epitomizes our relaxed island luxury in one hot, smoking capsule.
Waiheke Island meets Florida Keys with this classic offering set on extensive 1,685 sq m (over 18,000 sq ft, more or less) of waterfront. A waterfront for aesthetes more than athletes, the corner of this quiet cul de sac is an unassuming setting, removed from the noise of summer crowds.
Industrial warehouse, first class lounge or Soho art gallery? The home is a complete summer residence or will lend itself easily to any imagination or entrepreneurial vision. Once the honey-pot for local nightlife, the commercially-zoned site has a colourful legacy including past lives as a nightclub and bar. Now impeccably restored, the entertainment theme prevails.
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 sympathetic development. Across the lawn, through your gate, the seaside tempts with fishing and boating as the season dictates.
At NZ$3,000 a night the property is also a handsome investment opportunity. Short-term rental may include conference groups, family celebrations, or simply, the gregarious.
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.
Hemingway is already here, swanning on a sea side veranda or leaning on the bar with a Cuba Libre in hand.
Early viewings invited now.
