Die Stadt Im Rücken, Der Hafen Zu Ihren Füßen

captures uninterrupted harbour views stretching from Hobsonville Marina across to Kauri Point and Birkenhead. A property of rare scale and remarkable character, it presents an exceptional opportunity to embrace an iconic waterfront lifestyle today, while offering exciting possibilities for the future.

Privately nestled amongst lush tropical landscaping, the 355sqm (approx.) residence is unlike anything else on the market. Designed in the 1990s, its bohemian spirit and architectural individuality combine to create a home that is both captivating and deeply functional.

The sense of arrival is immediate. Beyond the front door, a verdant internal garden unfolds beneath soaring triple-height ceilings, while electronically controlled glass panels flood the home with natural light and blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Every detail reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of its original owner, from the bespoke handmade tiles featured throughout the kitchen and bathrooms to the thoughtfully configured spaces designed for both connection and retreat.

Offering three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, an office / fourth bedroom, two generous living areas and double garaging, the home accommodates family life with ease while providing an abundance of quiet corners in which to relax, create and recharge.

Beyond the home itself lies the true magic of this exceptional property. Sweeping lawns descend to the water’s edge, where steps provide direct access to the harbour below. With a boat mooring and ample room to explore options for a waterfront pavilion, cabana or boathouse, the setting invites a lifestyle centred around the water and Auckland’s spectacular natural environment.

While the existing home is an extraordinary offering in its own right, the site presents an equally compelling proposition for those seeking to create a landmark waterfront residence in one of Auckland’s most tightly held locations.

Just a short stroll from the vibrant Westmere village, enjoy easy access to local favourites including Westmere Butchery, Ragtag, Bea Beas, and Catroux, along with nearby Cox’s Bay Reserve and West End Tennis Club.

Waterfront opportunities of this calibre are increasingly rare. Whether your vision is to cherish the home’s unique personality, enhance its future potential, or create an entirely new architectural masterpiece, this is a once-in-a-generation offering in a truly world-class setting.
