Why choose an island when you can enjoy even greater freedom?
Set on approximately 3.3194 hectares of pristine coastal land, this exceptional lifestyle at Big Bay delivers a rare combination of privacy, scale and breathtaking natural beauty. Just over an hour from Auckland, it offers an escape that feels a world away, where expansive open spaces, fresh sea air and spectacular west coast scenery become part of everyday life.
The modern residence has been thoughtfully positioned to embrace the peaceful surroundings, providing comfortable and flexible living while allowing the remarkable landscape to take centre stage. The main home features two bedrooms, including a generous master suite with ensuite, full bathroom & laundry, while a separate wing offers an additional two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended family or independent accommodation. Whether you are searching for a permanent residence, executive retreat or weekend sanctuary, this is a property designed to be enjoyed for generations.
For buyers considering Waiheke Island, 202G Big Bay Road presents a compelling alternative. Forget ferry timetables, queues and logistical challenges. Here you can simply get in the car and arrive, or for those seeking the ultimate executive lifestyle, imagine flying directly from the city. The property’s expansive open land has previously accommodated helicopter landings, highlighting the scale and versatility of the site.
Spend your weekends fishing the Manukau Harbour, exploring nearby beaches, entertaining family and friends beneath vast western skies, or simply unwinding in complete privacy. With room for boats, recreational vehicles, hobbies and future possibilities, this is a lifestyle few properties can offer.
Large freehold coastal holdings of this calibre are tightly held and seldom available. More than a home, this is a destination. A place to reconnect, entertain, create lasting family memories and enjoy one of Auckland’s most spectacular and unspoilt coastal environments.
