Exclusive Cape Cod Retreat With Stunning Seascape Views

NOTE: Legal address is 239A Bleakhouse Road (Letterbox ONLY is 243A). Current CV $3,500,000. Flexible settlement options. All agents welcome.

Tucked away for absolute privacy, this breath-taking Cape Cod-inspired residence commands a prized position in renowned Mellons Bay—offering panoramic vistas that will take your breath away.

Originally designed and meticulously constructed in 2003 by Crofton Umbers Design, this remarkable home boasts timeless cedar weatherboards, beautifully accented by crisp white box architraves, dual porthole windows and iconic Otago schist features.

Awaken each morning to sunrises over Beachlands and across the 180 degree sparkling seascape. Unwind each evening as the sun sets over Rangitoto and Eastern Beach (which is only a 7 minute walk). The orientation of the property captures the views perfectly and was a superb location to watch Course E of the Americas Cup in 2021.

Thoughtfully designed over multiple levels, this 390sqm residence is the perfect retreat for busy executive families. The property has recently been painted and re-stained inside and out, so you’ll not have to worry about that big ticket item for some time.

Upstairs, the interconnected living spaces effortlessly blend style and function. There’s a gourmet kitchen, complete with granite benchtops and a central island with stunning water views.

A formal lounge with a cosy gas fireplace promises warmth and comfort on winter nights, while a dedicated study (which the current owners have utilised as a bedroom on occasion) adds to the home’s versatility—especially if you work from home.

The master suite is a private oasis, cleverly separated from three additional spacious bedrooms—all of which frame picture-perfect sea views with ranch sliders onto the deck.

A downstairs games room offers a kitchenette and has been utilised for many parties and sleepovers. The current owners did think of adding a bathroom to create a self-contained studio apartment—a consideration if you are accommodating additional adults.

The lush, tropical themed gardens, heated swimming pool and spa, are brilliantly positioned from prevailing winds—creating a haven for year-round entertaining.

Set on a freehold 1,363sqm title with an internally accessed double garage, and off street parking for 5 vehicles.

Educational excellence is at your doorstep too, with top local schools including Mellons Bay Primary, Bucklands Beach Intermediate, and the highly regarded Macleans College—all in walking distance.

If you need to be in the central city for work or play, then taking the Half Moon Bay Ferry allows you to read or scroll, arriving rejuvenated and ready for your day.

The current owners’ children are all away at University now, so it’s time to travel, allowing you to come and claim a resort-style home where every day feels like you’re on holiday.
