Hidden among the rolling hills of Waiheke Island, Poderi Crisci feels like a small corner of Tuscany quietly settled in the South Pacific. Only a short journey from Auckland’s international airport, yet worlds away in atmosphere, the estate unfolds across sunlit vines, olive groves and fertile gardens where land, wine and hospitality shape daily life. Arriving here feels like stepping into another rhythm. The road winds through gentle countryside before revealing rows of vines stretching across warm slopes, olive trees catching the afternoon light and the soft movement of the island breeze across the valley. It is a landscape that invites people to slow down — to taste, gather and stay a little longer. At the heart of the estate sits a celebrated vineyard and restaurant, already established as one of Waiheke’s most loved destinations. Guests gather for long lunches among the vines, weddings unfold against sweeping rural backdrops, and the land produces wine, olive oil and seasonal produce that reflect the character of the site. The Mediterranean philosophy of living close to the land feels natural here — growing, harvesting, cooking and sharing all part of the same story. Complementing the hospitality operation is a welcoming residential component. At the centre stands a Tuscan country-style villa with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, reflecting the relaxed warmth and rustic elegance of the setting. Outdoors, a 6 × 12 metre swimming pool and spa overlook the surrounding landscape — a private retreat to unwind after vineyard days or gather with friends beneath the Waiheke sun. More recently, a beautifully designed guest suite has been created above La Locanda Bistro. This fully self-contained residence includes a generous office, double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. It connects to the main villa through the winery itself, where an elevated internal bridge crosses above the winemaking area — a striking architectural moment suspended above vats and barrels, reminding visitors how closely life and craft are intertwined. Beyond the existing buildings, further possibilities unfold across the land. At the upper reaches of the property lies a designated building platform with elevated views stretching across the sea toward Awaawaroa Bay. Plans have been prepared for additional visitor facilities carefully positioned within the landscape, offering potential to expand the hospitality experience. The estate also features an existing helipad, allowing direct access to Auckland in approximately ten minutes — a rare convenience that enhances both lifestyle and business potential. Creativity and gathering have always been part of Poderi Crisci’s story. Among the vines sits a remarkable amphitheatre designed for performances, celebrations and shared moments beneath the open sky — reflecting the founder’s vision of bringing a slice of Italian countryside culture to Waiheke Island. Today the estate operates as a successful vineyard and hospitality destination, yet its future could take many forms — an elegant agriturismo, a boutique vineyard retreat, an expanded wedding venue, or a private estate where vines frame everyday life. Poderi Crisci is more than a vineyard. It is a way of life — where wine is crafted, food is grown and people gather in a setting that feels timeless. A slice of Tuscany, shaped on Waiheke Island.

Lotus Estate is a rare private lakefront estate set on approximately 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of Matakana land, just under an hour from Auckland. A property of this completeness and scale is seldom offered to the market.This is not simply a home. It is a fully realised lifestyle estate comprising three distinct buildings - the main residence, a separate two-bedroom income cottage, and a dedicated wellness and commercial building - all surrounded by established olive orchards, productive gardens, water gardens, native planting, and a tranquil private lake. Every element has been considered. Every detail speaks to a life lived with intention and grace. The main residence is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and the water always in sight. The fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage, with its own private entry, offers flexibility for extended family, long-term guests or a reliable income stream. The dedicated wellness and commercial building opens further possibilities, with potential for boutique retreat hosting or commercial use, subject to council approval. Set within grounds that reveal themselves slowly, Lotus Estate rewards those who take the time to understand what it represents. A lakefront lifestyle property of this calibre, combining natural beauty, income potential and resort-style design, is extraordinarily rare in the Auckland region. For international buyers, Lotus Estate presents a compelling investment and lifestyle opportunity. New Zealand's Active Investor Plus Visa programme offers a pathway to New Zealand residency for qualifying investors, and a property combining lifestyle, land and income potential represents exactly the kind of asset the programme was designed to recognise.

Set across approximately 18.98 ha in the sought-after Warkworth - Matakana corridor, 4 Hamilton Road presents a rare opportunity to secure meaningful scale, privacy, and long-term potential within one of Auckland’s most compelling lifestyle regions. Positioned moments from Warkworth township, Matakana Village, and the wider coastline, this is a property that offers both retreat and connection - a substantial landholding within easy reach of Auckland, yet distinctly removed in atmosphere. The approximately 230 Sq m residence has undergone significant renovation, creating an immediately comfortable and highly liveable home, while still offering scope for a purchaser to further refine or personalise over time. Established landscaping, entertaining areas, and pool amenities enhance the lifestyle appeal. What distinguishes this offering is not simply the home, but the scale and flexibility of the wider holding. In a market where sizeable land parcels close to Auckland are increasingly scarce, opportunities of this nature remain tightly held. For some, this will be a private family sanctuary, a place to escape, host, and reconnect with nature. For others, it may represent a strategic long-term landholding or lifestyle estate, subject to required approvals. The balance is compelling: genuine privacy without isolation, scale without compromise, and optionality without immediate pressure. With Warkworth’s continued growth, improving connectivity north, and the enduring appeal of the Matakana lifestyle corridor, this is a property that will resonate with lifestyle buyers, strategic landholders, and those seeking something increasingly difficult to replicate. For more information on 4 Hamilton Road, Warkworth, contact Kelly Hamilton, New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty.
