8 Walter Frank Drive, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland, 1971, New Zealand

A utopic opportunity has arisen at a rare Island address – the first ever on-sell in this unsurpassed west-end peninsula development. This offering wraps you in a velvet-like privacy, wide mesmerizing Gulf water views, and a sublime green native bush belt.

‘Citrine’ is ahead of its time and sits on approximately 1.7 hectares just beyond the gateway to Park Point Estate, minutes’ drive from Matiatia. Sympathetically nestled into the land, elevated above the coast, it enjoys status as one of six on Walter Frank Drive. Secluded from the road, access is drive-on into a double garage with internal access. Take the lift to alight on the foyer of the main floor.

Winner of the 2011 Master Builders ‘Gold Award’ and ‘Thermal Efficiency Award’, lay out is energy-sensitive and features include smart German appliances and solar panelling. YTong block is a timeless European building material with excellent thermal and sound proof qualities.

If you are artistic you will adore the lower floor media room which could lend itself to a variety of uses. Another work space, currently ‘The Artist Goldsmith’s’ workshop’ may be re-converted to a full bedroom suite. Other indomitable Island features include an on-site sauna, outdoor shower, northern living-dining patio and a ‘reading room’ garden studio. The entire area encapsulates pristine coastal walkways and remnants of historic forest.

Affordable estate positions like this are incredibly few, as are motivated sellers, and there is little land left on this peninsula.
