This exceptional offering presents an opportunity to secure a generous landholding in one of Waiheke Island’s most cherished northern coastal enclaves, complete with resource-consented architectural plans by award-winning Studio2 Architects. Studio2 is an Auckland-based practice formed from Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects and led by founding architect Paul Clarke, alongside Brett Gerrard. Renowned for their high-end, bespoke and site-responsive residential architecture, the practice has earned a reputation for crafting homes that sit lightly within the landscape, defined by thoughtful materiality, proportion and light, and an enduring sense of place. Studio2 has designed a sophisticated contemporary coastal residence for this site that responds directly to its north-west orientation, capturing all-day sun, ocean views and a strong sense of privacy within a protected natural setting. The architectural and driveway designs are approved, with resource consent issued and building consent drawings near completion. The completed home may meet AIP criteria for foreign purchasers, subject to OIO approval. Two titles have been amalgamated into one generous 1,915 sq m (more or less) site, ideally positioned between Sandy Bay and Enclosure Bay — two of Waiheke Island’s most picturesque northern beaches, just a short walk apart. The elevated home site enjoys a north-west aspect with excellent sun, ocean outlooks and proximity to all-tide boat launching, while a mature native reserve along the eastern boundary ensures enduring privacy. Whether you elect to realise this architectural vision or simply value the clarity of what is possible, this is a location where quality, design integrity and long-term value are assured.
