This Bay of Islands estate is a rare architectural offering on a private waterfront site with its own jetty. Spanning 11.5 hectares across two titles, the residence is a study in restraint and coastal precision—quiet lines, expansive glazing, and a soft, tactile palette of Russian Birch and Krystal Rock that settles into the landscape. Manicured lawns and palm‑shaded alfresco dining create a seamless indoor–outdoor threshold, while winding paths thread native regeneration zones to the shore. An elevated top cottage on a separate title captures long views toward Paihia, adding flexibility for guests or a future architectural insert. A sanctuary of privacy, materiality, and site‑responsive coastal living.
