luxury house with panoramic view for sale Māhia, New Zealand

Set high on an elevated site, this Bluff Hill residence carries an immediate sense of presence. Exceptionally well maintained, the home’s two levels are positioned to take full advantage of the sweeping sea views that define the property. From the upper floor - and even more so from the roof terrace - the outlook stretches uninterrupted for miles, a rare vantage point even by Bluff Hill standards. Stepping inside, the entry foyer sets a tone of scale and solidity. The curved staircase, framed by a striking glass block feature wall, leads to a broad landing upstairs that enhances the home’s sense of openness and ease of movement. At the heart of the home is a substantial open plan living, dining, and kitchen environment - a genuinely impressive space defined by width, volume, and natural light. Large doors open to the substantial deck with its glass balustrading, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. This deck is a defining feature: exceptionally large, well- constructed, and enhanced by three retractable awnings that extend its usability throughout the seasons. From the living room, a stairway leads to the extensive roof terrace - a remarkable platform with panoramic views and scope for further development should the next owner wish to explore it. The upper level accommodates three double bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and direct access to the expansive composite clad deck. The family bathroom is generous in scale and can be entered from both the master bedroom and the hallway. The interior finishes, well-kept carpet and crisp white walls give the home a clean, contemporary feel that aligns well with current preferences. The lower level offers integral garaging and a substantial multipurpose room- ideal for a spare bedroom home office, a gym, or children’s activities. This space opens to a sheltered fernery and patio, creating a quiet, green retreat. A separate laundry completes this level. Generous off- street parking is another uncommon benefit for a hill property and speaks to the considered planning evident throughout the home. With the owner committed to their next move, this is a rare chance to secure a premium Bluff Hill home at a compelling level. For buyers seeking elevation, views, and genuine upside, this represents an opportunity not to be overlooked.

A rare fusion of architectural renewal, award winning design and sweeping sea views, 9 Elizabeth Road stands as one of Bluff Hill’s most comprehensively transformed homes. Elevated in a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by light, offering a high level of privacy, and panoramic sea views, it offers a near new living experience in one of Napier’s most desirable streets. The home has recently undergone a complete architectural reinvention by leading Architect Simon Clarkson. Every major building element has been renewed or upgraded, giving this 1930s residence the structural integrity, comfort, and longevity of a contemporary build. Floors have been re levelled, foundations strengthened, the roof and cladding replaced, and all plumbing, electrical, insulation and windows modernised. The result is a home that feels new, robust, refined, and beautifully resolved. Design excellence is a defining feature. The kitchen and main bathroom were recognised at the 2024 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards, with the bathroom receiving a national Silver Award. These spaces set the tone for a cohesive interior aesthetic shaped by premium materials, thoughtful detailing and a calm, modern palette that enhances the home’s elevated position and natural light. A suite of high-end amenities - including HVAC, an audiophile sound system, EV charging, designer lighting, security cameras, and integrated Wi-Fi - adds a level of comfort and convenience that places the home firmly in the upper tier of the Napier market. The living spaces are designed to embrace the home’s expansive outlook. The open plan living area flows to a generous front patio that captures views to the north, east and south. A sheltered, sun filled rear courtyard provides a private alternative for outdoor dining or quiet retreat, creating a versatile indoor-outdoor lifestyle suited to both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Low maintenance living is central to the home’s appeal. With its renewed building envelope, contemporary systems, and townhouse like efficiency - without body corporate fees or shared walls - it is ideally suited to professional couples, small families with older children and buyers seeking apartment style convenience in a premium freehold setting. Off street parking for three vehicles, a rarity on Bluff Hill, adds further distinction. 9 Elizabeth Road represents a wonderful convergence of architectural renewal, award winning interiors, panoramic views, and long-term ease of ownership. It is a home for those who value design, quality and a lifestyle defined by modern comfort in one of Napier’s most sought-after locations.
