Positioned above the Mahurangi Harbour in one of the area’s most tightly held coastal pockets on Andersons Bay, 129 Ridge Road presents a residence of scale, presence and quiet distinction, set on over an acre of established grounds with the rare advantage of riparian rights. Reimagined with care and precision, the 1911 home balances character with modern ease. Rich Rimu detailing, polished Kauri flooring and a striking galleried staircase create a strong sense of arrival. Accommodation is arranged across two levels. The upper floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with ensuites, alongside a dedicated library and a light-filled sunroom currently utilised as a study.

A separate outbuilding enhances the offering, comprising three car garaging, a substantial art studio or workspace, and a self-contained Airbnb studio cottage, providing versatility for extended family, creative use or supplementary income. A compelling coastal holding where scale, character and waterfront access align in a way that is increasingly difficult to secure.
