41D Tiri View Road, Waiheke Island

Palm Beach - a handful of gentle valleys descending to a northern cove. At the head of one sits a venerable work of architectural awe - rock-solid, land-bound, cantilevered seaward.

Here, mists swirl and birds careen – your gaze aligns with Nani Islet or a passing cruise liner. The Hauraki Gulf sparkles, ever-present on the salt air.

Many hunt for decades in these parts to no avail for what this penthouse-style residence effortlessly serves up: drive to door access, vehicle turntable, stacked garaging, and a full northern aspect – a complete redefinition of low maintenance. Most settle for less. You don't have to.

Simplicity is a defining virtue and belies innumerable traits on patent display. Borrowed light draws from the wider valley walls and filters down to an internal garden - both light and sound controllable via App. Are you in the mountains or by the sea? Play at inhabiting both here.

Revealed in stages, both intimate and expansive, this handsome dark-wooded home with plunge pool and spa features a striking concrete spine and Moorish influenced plinth wrapping you in a neat envelope, a Japanese hotel-like hush … while the distant rhythm of kiwi surf carries up the valley.

Oriented to maximise solar gain and passive performance, the exposed diagrid ceiling reflects a dynamic geometry. Robust, enduring materials grant you gilt-edged safety and peace of mind.

A short stroll to the beach, and within easy reach of ferry, city, and airport connections, this is the smart person's Freehold alternative to luxury City apartment living - without compromise.
