Its architecture and design are iconic, and after being held by the same family for over 60 years, a rare opportunity now presents itself for a new custodian to guide it into its next chapter. Positioned on an elevated site regarded as one of the best in the bay, with easy access to the beach, it was the first home built at the Eastern end of St Heliers Bay. The home captures sweeping views along the beach, across the bay to the city, and over the harbour to Rangitoto. It also enjoys views of North Head, the East Coast Bays, and the shipping channel. The home sits within an affluent seaside enclave known for boutique shopping, acclaimed cafe's, and beautiful beaches. The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities and features a private gated walkway to the beach and village via Cliff Road. The two-storey, 234sqm (approx.) character home comprises three titles and sits on 865sqm (more or less) of land. It is currently configured as two separate apartments: a three-bedroom residence upstairs and a two-bedroom residence downstairs, connected by an internal door. Alongside is an additional parcel of vacant land, offering exceptional flexibility and future potential. Bring your architect and make the most of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. There are many options: •Retain the apartments as income-generating rentals in a high-demand location and build another home on the vacant section behind. •Restore and extend the existing residence into a substantial family home, enhancing its beauty and grandeur. •Redevelop the entire site under the Residential Mixed Housing Urban zoning (subject to council approval).

Finished in schist stone and cedar, this home includes a sweeping roofline inspired by the drooping of a tent fly - a vision developed by the current owners and executed to absolute perfection.

A dedicated media room offers further space for relaxation and quiet enjoyment. Built in timber cabinetry has been carefully designed throughout.

A property of this calibre is seldom offered to the market. This is a true waterfront estate, positioned on the shores of Lake Hayes with uninterrupted views and absolute privacy — a setting that is unquestionably one of Queenstown’s most coveted. Perfectly situated between Queenstown and Arrowtown, the residence occupies 4,466 sq m (more or less) of manicured, low maintenance grounds with direct access to the lake’s edge. Designed by leading architects and spanning approximately 610 sq m. Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully curated for both family living and sophisticated entertaining. Seven expansive bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite, are complemented by multiple living spaces, a dedicated dining room, a private study, and garaging for three vehicles. Every room has been oriented to capture natural light and frame the lake and mountain vistas, creating a sense of calm, space, and connection to the landscape. With exceptional sunshine hours and panoramic views across Lake Hayes to Coronet Peak, the lifestyle on offer is extraordinary. Walking and cycling trails begin at your boundary, public transport is at the end of the drive, and the acclaimed Amisfield Winery sits directly across the road.

Set discreetly back from one of Remuera’s most distinguished streets, this remarkable residence presents a seamless blend of traditional character and modern expression. The brilliance of its architectural intent, the quality of its material and the precision of its detailing extend far beyond first impression. Originally conceived by Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and later entirely reimagined as the personal residence of acclaimed architect Noel Lane, the property represents a considered reinvention rather than a renovation– traditional form retained and spatial experience transformed. Across three interconnected levels, light and volume become architectural elements in themselves. A central vertical opening links the upper floors to the lower atrium, creating a constant sense of scale and flow, while two staircases positioned at opposing ends of the home allow movement to feel effortless. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both daily living and gatherings. A north-facing walnut and travertine kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances forms the centre of the home, complemented by a light-filled dining area. Open casual living areas face both the front and rear, while a wood-panelled formal lounge provides a more intimate retreat. On the ground level, a dramatic atrium anchors the home’s social life. Opening to an enclosed side courtyard and extending outward to a substantial rear sculptural courtyard, the space is equally suited to intimate celebrations or larger-scale occasions. The courtyard connects onwards to a generous lawn, while a concealed garage door allows the space to expand– a thoughtful design that enhances both flexibility and flow. The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, featuring four bedrooms including a primary suite with an adjoining nursery or study. These rooms flow naturally to the rooftop terrace, where elevated views to Rangitoto and Orakei Basin provide a serene backdrop for evening drinks or quiet retreat. The recently renewed surrounding grounds by Tony Murrell form a natural extension of the architecture and are crafted with the same uncompromising philosophy as the home itself. From the moment you enter the garden, walking across hammered basalt and warm-toned travertine, the integrity of the material selection is immediately apparent– not confined to just focal spaces, but carried throughout. The landscaping is executed with permanence in mind and designed to last a lifetime– a level of thoroughness rarely achieved. Earth, Sea and Sky elements are subtly expressed across the expansive site through carefully curated aggregates and sculptural planting of exceptional calibre. The Japanese-style zen garden frames the pool, while pathways weave through bamboo, bonsai, camellias and evergreen azaleas, all of which remain engaging throughout the seasons. Both intimate and expansive, the grounds allow for contemplation and entertaining, with dynamic lighting carrying the atmosphere into the evening. Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone, directly across from Victoria Avenue shops and moments from Remuera Village, the property offers both prestige and practicality. A timeless architectural masterpiece that is reimagined with purpose and executed without compromise. Important: This property may be marketed as suitable for overseas purchasers.

Set quietly apart from its surroundings, this is a residence that resists comparison. Conceived and refined by its creative owners, it is a home defined by intention rather than convention. Privacy is immediate. Beyond a sculptural concrete wall, a quietly unassuming transitional villa unfolds - anchored by a striking Paul Brown–designed pavilion that introduces a bold contemporary counterpoint to the home’s original form. Constructed in concrete block and arranged over two levels, the pavilion opens to views across a solar-heated pool and established specimen trees. Beyond the garden, Potters Park remains discreetly concealed yet immediately accessible - close enough to hear the distant joy of children at play, a gentle reminder of community without any intrusion on privacy. Light is ever-present yet carefully moderated, captured through 10ft stud grandeur, expansive glazing, and floor to-ceiling glass that shifts the mood from morning brilliance to softened afternoon calm. As day turns to evening, the atmosphere deepens - every light thoughtfully and painstakingly positioned by the vendors to create an evolving ambience, moving seamlessly from sunlit days to sultry nights. At the centre of the home, the kitchen is its true heart - refined yet welcoming, designed for connection as much as function. Supported by a separate scullery, a spacious laundry and excellent storage, it performs effortlessly for everyday family life while rising beautifully to the occasion when entertaining. Accommodation is generous and versatile, with six sleeping spaces complemented by a dedicated music room and a formal dining room - offering flexibility for blended families, teenagers, or multi-generational living. Here, traditional architecture and modernism coexist in balance, creating spaces that invite reflection, restoration and quiet enjoyment. Materiality plays a leading role: pressed English heritage metal ceilings, romantic fireplaces, crafted timber screens and carefully positioned planting create moments of texture and rhythm, elevating the everyday into something quietly artful. Bathrooms throughout the home have been thoughtfully designed, ensuring a consistent level of comfort and finish - allowing the next owners to simply arrive and enjoy. An EV charger has also been installed, discreetly supporting modern, future-focused living. This has been a home of life well lived - a place of creativity, family, celebration, and continuity. Each room speaks its own language, yet together they form a cohesive and compelling whole. The property is situated outside flood zones, providing further peace of mind - and zoned for Epsom Girls Grammar, MAGS, Balmoral School Primary, adding significant appeal for families seeking the very best education. Photography captures only a fragment of the experience. With the owners now embracing a new chapter, this remarkable residence is ready to be discovered - and reimagined - by those seeking something truly exquisite and one-of-a-kind.

Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this residence celebrates the essence of modernist architecture - open space, purity of form, and an enduring dialogue between structure and landscape. A creation by David Ponting and Matthew Fitzgerald, the home is a triumph of precision and material mastery, its refinement placing it in a league of its own. The use of Himalayan schist is both deliberate and poetic, its texture and tone uniting the architecture from the gateway through to the heart of the home. A glass-walled gallery encases a striking central pool, framed by schist walls that anchor the residence to its natural setting, while overhead, a floating sail roof amplifies its sculptural elegance. A palette of Brazilian stone, wood-grained concrete, and American white ash, evokes understated luxury, illuminated by shifting light from broad glazing and skylights that animate the interiors throughout the day. Spanning 809 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents), the home offers four en-suited bedrooms including a master suite of rare calibre, complete with dual vanities and his-and-hers amenities. Living zones transition seamlessly outdoors to 283 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents) of terraces designed for private entertaining, while intelligent CBUS automation, underfloor heating across 11 zones, and a media room with concealed projector deliver technological sophistication and comfort. Set across four hectares of manicured land, this residence is a landmark in contemporary architecture. An extraordinary expression of craftsmanship and vision for those who appreciate the finest in design and scale.
