Contemporary house with terrace Napier (New Zealand)
High on Bluff Hill with uninterrupted sea views, 9 Elizabeth Road is instantly special - private, sun-filled, and beautifully refined. Originally 1930s, the home has been completely reimagined by architect Simon Clarkson, offering the confidence of a near-new build with the character of its era. Every detail has been thoughtfully resolved, creating a calm, solid, and effortlessly modern home. Interiors balance understated style with quiet impact. Award-winning kitchen and bathroom design set the tone, while natural light, soft tones, and quality materials enhance the sense of sophistication throughout. Living is centred around the view, with the main space opening to a generous front terrace overlooking sea and sky. A sheltered rear courtyard provides a second, sun-soaked setting for more intimate entertaining. Modern comfort is seamless, with integrated heating, cooling, security, and smart features, alongside the rare benefit of off-street parking for three vehicles. Low-maintenance, freehold, and move-in ready, this is an ideal home for professionals, downsizers, or those seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle without compromise. Elevated, refined, and easy to own - 9 Elizabeth Road delivers effortless living in an exceptional location.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Napier (New Zealand)
One side of the house watches the world go by. Boats leave their berths. Paddleboarders cross the water. Light moves across the marina and the outlook changes with the weather. Turn in the other direction and you are in an entirely private world of limestone, water and tropical planting - a heated magnesium pool, spa and cabana hidden from the street and sheltered from view. That contrast is at the heart of The Quay. Completed in 2025, the 607m² residence was designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco as a contemporary coastal courtyard house. Its scale is substantial, but scale alone doesn't explain it. The architecture moves between outlook and retreat, entertaining and privacy, activity and escape. Precast concrete and structural steel give the house its permanence. Aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass shape the exterior, while inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing soften the architecture and add warmth. The principal living level sits above the marina. Kitchen, dining and living spaces take in life on the water while decks on both sides of the house allow you to follow the sun - marina on one side, pool courtyard on the other. The kitchen island will probably be where people end up, regardless of where you intended them to sit. It anchors a kitchen designed as much for people as cooking, supported by a scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Nearby, a dedicated wellness retreat means steam, cold water and recovery rituals need not involve leaving home. The main bedroom and guest suite are also positioned on this upper level. Downstairs, the house changes character again. A second full kitchen, living room and laundry allow this level to function with genuine independence for adult children, extended family, guests or live-in support. Two further bedroom suites sit alongside the gallery, entry and three-car garaging. Then there is the courtyard. French limestone paving surrounds the magnesium pool and inground spa. Tropical planting creates enclosure, an outdoor copper shower adds another layer, and the cabana - complete with copper bar and featuring a marble bar top - makes the pool area somewhere to spend from the afternoon through to late evening rather than simply somewhere to swim. An eight-person lift connects the levels, while smart technology, solar and battery storage, underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and acoustic glazing quietly take care of much of the practical work behind the scenes. The Quay gives you two very different ways of living in one remarkable place. Outward to the water. Inward to complete privacy.

Imagine waking to coastal light and sweeping views across Hawke’s Bay, where the ocean and sky shape the rhythm of each day. Architecturally designed by Paris Magdalinos Architects and completed in 2009, this elevated residence known as ‘The Vewe’ delivers relaxed sophistication, defined by outlook, privacy and thoughtful design. European influence is evident throughout, expressed through enduring materials, clean lines and spaces that feel both impressive and immediately liveable. The home is designed to flow effortlessly, with living, dining and entertaining areas connecting seamlessly to the outdoors. Expansive glazing captures panoramic views stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Cape Kidnappers and along Napier’s Marine Parade, while retained concrete walls provide striking architectural form, softened by established gardens for privacy. At the centre of the home, the designer kitchen with butler’s pantry connects naturally with the dining area, where the ocean remains a constant presence. Bi-fold doors open to a generous deck and a covered alfresco dining area complete with an outdoor fireplace - an ideal setting for relaxed entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Multiple living areas offer flexibility, including a stylish lounge with bespoke cabinetry and a light-filled conservatory, both opening directly to the expansive decks. Quality finishes are carried throughout, with French oak polished floors, marble tiles, cedar shutters and a copper roof adding warmth and longevity. Modern comforts are well integrated, including double glazing, ducted air conditioning and a wine cellar with tasting room. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. The lower level offers two generous bedrooms, each with an en-suite and bespoke built-in cabinetry, opening to a private, sheltered courtyard. Upstairs, the opulent primary suite enjoys an elevated position with views across Napier, complemented by a six-star bathroom finished in travertine stone with Philippe Starck fittings.

House with pool and garden Havelock North (New Zealand)
Scale to gather. Space to retreat. There are houses designed around rooms, and houses designed around the way people actually live. At 20 Aintree Road, breakfast can be happening in one part of the house while somebody works behind a closed office door, teenagers disappear to another living room and weekend guests have somewhere that feels properly their own. Later, everyone finds their way back together - around the kitchen, outside on the terrace or beside the pool. That ease is probably the thing you notice least on a floor plan, yet it is one of this home's greatest strengths. Set privately across 1.66 hectares in an established Havelock North lifestyle location, The Enclave offers approximately 477m² of living with the scale for a full house without requiring everyone to live on top of one another. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living spaces and a separate office give different generations, guests and family members genuine separation when they want it. Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman, the predominantly concrete-block home has a reassuring solidity to it. Over the past twelve months it has also undergone a substantial programme of improvements, bringing a more current finish and feel while retaining the scale and substance that made the house compelling in the first place. New carpet and floor coverings, refreshed bathrooms, updated lighting, interior and exterior paint, new curtains and blinds and refreshed aluminium joinery have collectively changed the way the home presents and feels. Outside, the property becomes its own private environment. Established planting surrounds terraces, lawns, the saltwater infinity pool and spa. There is room for children, dogs, visitors and long lunches without feeling overlooked or contained. The pool is an obvious attraction in summer, but its greater value is as part of a property where much of family life can happen at home. Technology and infrastructure are equally well resolved, including automated irrigation, Starlink internet, Control4 audio, security systems, multiple water supplies with filtration, air conditioning, heat pumps and gas fires. The Enclave isn't simply a large house on a lifestyle block. Its luxury is having space to be together - and space not to be. Key features • Approximately 477m² residence on 1.66 hectares • Four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuites • Three living spaces providing excellent separation • Separate office • Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman • Predominantly concrete-block construction with solid plaster finish • Significant interior and exterior improvements completed over the past twelve months • Generous garaging and storage • Saltwater infinity pool and spa • Automated irrigation • Multiple water supplies with filtration • Starlink internet • Control4 audio and smart security • Heating and cooling throughout A comprehensive property information pack is available, including the LIM, building report, Certificate of Title and floor plans is available by copying this link into your browser - https://bit.ly/TheEnclave20AintreeRoad Method of Sale: By Negotiation
