Totally unique, this dream hideaway genuinely feels like a world of its own. Designed in close collaboration with the architect, the home reflects a singular vision: to live immersed in nature among towering native bush and majestic kauri, with architecture that quietly yields to the landscape. Hidden at the end of a gently curving, tree-lined drive, this absolutely private property occupies a rare headland site overlooking the Manukau Harbour, and fittingly, Arapito in Maori means “end of the path”. Approximately 17kms from Auckland’s CBD, the architectural residence is framed by lush native bush and sculptured stone, and blends so seamlessly into its surroundings it appears to have always belonged here. Yet this house is only part of the story. Originally, the property comprised a grand residence and smaller cottage. Where the main house once stood is now a levelled, grassed site ready to be reimagined. Architectural plans for a future residence are included as part of the chattels, providing remarkable flexibility to complete the planned build, explore subdivision potential, or transform the space into additional gardens, further enhancing the property’s serene, retreat-like ambience. Built on the site of the smaller old cottage, this home is clad in natural slate and darkened timber, and presents as a refined single-level retreat, before revealing itself across two expansive levels of near-identical scale, that open to gardens, decks, and filtered sea views through the trees. Light-filled and tranquil, the interiors are anchored by tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings and expansive glazing that draws in dappled light and lush green outlooks. Four generous double bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite, provide elegant, self-contained retreats. The flexible configuration allows the home to function as one substantial residence or adapt effortlessly for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or two independent spaces. Don’t miss the chance to experience this exceptional property, surrounded by sea, kauri and birdsong, and the opportunity to make this piece of paradise your own. Viewings by appointment.
