573 Scenic Drive, Waiatarua, Waitakere City

Elevated along Scenic Drive and immersed within the ancient landscape of the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Park, Waitakere Resort & Spa is a landmark estate of rare scale, privacy and presence.

Held within the same family for over 85 years, this remarkable property represents a generational opportunity - one that speaks to legacy, stewardship and an enduring connection to place.

Often likened to the Hollywood Hills for its elevation and seclusion, the estate offers a profound sense of privacy while keeping Auckland’s CBD within effortless reach. Spanning 29 hectares of native bush, it commands sweeping, cinematic panoramic views of the ranges, harbour and city skyline.

The estate comprises 24 well-appointed suites and one exclusive villa, and one two-bedroom apartment, each with private balconies and commanding outlooks. In addition, the vendors have already completed the process of securing resource consent for an additional 12 rooms, providing immediate scope to expand the accommodation footprint.

Surrounded by native forest and moments from iconic west coast beaches, waterfalls and walking tracks, the setting is inherently restorative - a place where scale, silence and nature converge to create genuine wellbeing and inspiration. Guests are immersed in nature, with bush walks, tranquil communal spaces and moments of quiet reflection providing a restorative escape.

Wellness is at the heart of the experience. The spa offering bespoke treatments, with The Resort’s Park Restaurant showcasing New Zealand cuisine against breathtaking bush and views. An established helipad also ensures discreet access and reinforces the property’s exclusivity.

With expansive infrastructure and exceptional flexibility, the estate can continue as a premium resort, be transformed into a world-class wellness destination, or reimagined as a private sanctuary of extraordinary proportions.

As a potential pathway within New Zealand’s investment and residency frameworks, including options aligned with the Golden Visa, Waitakere Resort & Spa represents not only a significant real estate acquisition, but also an entry into a coveted lifestyle and long-term future.

A truly rare offering - irreplaceable by nature, scale and legacy - for those seeking to create something meaningful, enduring and compelling to a global audience.
