There are properties that are simply owned, and those that are held.
Set across approximately 6.5 hectares (16 acres) within the Riverhead&ndash;Coatesville corridor, this is a private holding defined by scale, discretion, and enduring quality.
Completed in 2019, the residence is constructed in solid concrete and masonry, with a material palette that favours permanence over trend. European influences are present but restrained, expressed through timber, stone, and proportion rather than ornament.
The home is generous in scale, with expansive living areas, high stud ceilings, and a natural connection to the surrounding grounds. Spaces are designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings with ease, without compromising privacy.
The land is established and functional. A heated pool, tennis court, and outdoor living areas are set within landscaped grounds, while equestrian facilities, including multiple paddocks, a professional stable complex, and a full-size arena, provide a complete environment for those who require it.
A separate studio allows for discreet staff or guest accommodation.
Positioned within easy reach of central Auckland, and in proximity to leading independent schooling including Kristin School, the property offers a level of convenience without compromising its sense of separation.
Opportunities of this nature are seldom presented publicly.

Positioned on the prized northern ridgeline of Remuera’s 'Golden Mile', this landmark family estate represents a rare trophy-level holding in Auckland, defined by its exceptional scale, privacy, and commanding architectural presence. It achieves a seamless balance between timeless elegance and contemporary comfort, offering discerning global buyers a residence that serves as both a symbol of status and a long-term asset.
Designed by Craig Moller Architects, the residence spans approximately 700 sq m and occupies a substantial 1,864 sq m (more or less) freehold, north-facing site. Constructed using rarely seen commercial-grade steel beams and reinforced concrete, and finished with a limestone façade, the home expresses a refined modern aesthetic grounded in strength and permanence. Elevated on the ridgeline, it commands uninterrupted 180-degree panoramic views stretching from Rangitoto Island across the Waitematā Harbour to the Sky Tower skyline, forming a truly irreplaceable natural and urban outlook.
The interior is defined by scale, light, and material integrity. An approximately eight-metre gallery atrium anchors the spatial composition, while the main living level features 3.5-metre stud heights flowing seamlessly to a 37-metre north-facing balcony, creating a cohesive indoor-outdoor living experience. A curated palette of travertine, French oak, and bespoke timber joinery establishes a restrained yet sophisticated material language, designed for enduring aesthetic appeal and comfort.
The residence comprises five bedrooms and six bathrooms, including multiple ensuites, with all bedrooms oriented north to maximise natural light and views. The master suite enjoys expansive outlooks, a private balcony, and a walk-in wardrobe. A separate guest residence with full living amenities provides flexibility for extended family living or hosting.
The lower-level entertainment zone opens directly to landscaped gardens, featuring an approximately 12m × 5m heated swimming pool and level lawn, ideal for both family use and social occasions. Additional features include a dedicated home theatre, library, and office, complemented by bespoke cabinetry throughout. C-Bus smart home integration, comprehensive security, central heating, and multiple fireplaces complete a residence of exceptional livability and technical specification.
Located within Auckland’s premier education precinct, the property sits adjacent to King's Preparatory School and within the sought-after double grammar zones of Auckland Grammar School and Epsom Girls Grammar School, with leading private schools nearby.
This is more than a residence—it is a strategic acquisition of scarce land in one of Auckland’s most tightly held locations. Securing a north-facing ridgeline site of this scale in Remuera represents long-term control over an irreplaceable asset, combining lifestyle excellence with capital security and future potential.

Welcome to Wakarara Country Estate, an extraordinary homestead set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ruahine Ranges, representing the pinnacle of refined country living in Hawke’s Bay.
The property’s location was chosen for the raised plateau that the home is sited on, with panoramic views across the hinterland of Hawke’s Bay. The rural landscape is a combination of viticulture, horticulture and rolling pastureland on the short commute from Hastings or Napier. It offers buyers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions.
Wakarara is crafted with materials sourced from around the globe, together the homestead, secondary accommodation and ancillary buildings span over 2,286 sq m and are set within approximately 24.7 hectares. The property blends timeless architectural character with modern luxury, designed for multi-generational living or as a prestigious retreat.
In consultation with Central Hawke’s Bay District Council, a proposed boundary and title realignment has been progressed, specifically designed to enable international purchasers to meet New Zealand regulations under the Active Investor Programme. A proposed plan reconfigures the residential holding to 4.285 ha (approx), positioning the estate comfortably below the 5 ha threshold while preserving the setting and integrity of the residence.
Inside, soaring ceilings, generous proportions, and finely crafted detailing define the residence. From the grand entrance lobby French oak flooring leads you through beautifully lit hallways to explore the main home. Multiple living and entertaining spaces flow seamlessly, equally suited to intimate family gatherings or large-scale hosting. Vast joinery opens to manicured lawns, covered terraces and views beyond. Accommodation in the residence is provided for by six luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms that provide privacy and comfort.
Informal living is catered for with a family room adjoining the executive kitchen and scullery. Amenities elevate the estate to international standards: a heated indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna, snooker and media room, a defined large office or board room, and six-car garaging is provided for. Extensive service facilities and separate secondary accommodation that has two bedrooms and bathrooms allows for comfortable onsite management, or further guest accommodation.
Beyond the home and lawns, landscaped gardens, and sweeping pastoral vistas unfold. Accessed via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by park-like grounds, the property retains the authenticity of a working rural estate, offering scope for equestrian, viticulture, or simply the enjoyment of wide-open space. The elevated position captures the essence of Hawke’s Bay - rolling hills, native bush, and endless skies.
Near the village of Ongaonga, the estate enjoys proximity to the service town of Waipukurau. Hastings and Havelock North, with their renowned wineries, restaurants, and championship golf, are within easy reach, while Napier Airport provides seamless connections to Auckland, and international gateways.
Wakarara is more than a residence, it is a lifestyle investment, a sanctuary, and a statement of prestige. Whether a private residence, a luxury retreat, or a base for exploring New Zealand’s celebrated landscapes, this estate delivers unparalleled scale, privacy, and opportunity.

Important: This property may be suitable for overseas purchasers. However, this does not constitute confirmation of eligibility, approval, or suitability for any individual buyer. All purchasers remain subject to New Zealand’s overseas investment laws, including the Overseas Investment Act 2005, and may require consent from the Overseas Investment Office.

Hidden among the rolling hills of Waiheke Island, Poderi Crisci feels like a small corner of Tuscany quietly settled in the South Pacific. Only a short journey from Auckland’s international airport, yet worlds away in atmosphere, the estate unfolds across sunlit vines, olive groves and fertile gardens where land, wine and hospitality shape daily life.
Arriving here feels like stepping into another rhythm. The road winds through gentle countryside before revealing rows of vines stretching across warm slopes, olive trees catching the afternoon light and the soft movement of the island breeze across the valley. It is a landscape that invites people to slow down — to taste, gather and stay a little longer.
At the heart of the estate sits a celebrated vineyard and restaurant, already established as one of Waiheke’s most loved destinations. Guests gather for long lunches among the vines, weddings unfold against sweeping rural backdrops, and the land produces wine, olive oil and seasonal produce that reflect the character of the site. The Mediterranean philosophy of living close to the land feels natural here — growing, harvesting, cooking and sharing all part of the same story.
Complementing the hospitality operation is a welcoming residential component. At the centre stands a Tuscan country-style villa with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, reflecting the relaxed warmth and rustic elegance of the setting. Outdoors, a 6 × 12 metre swimming pool and spa overlook the surrounding landscape — a private retreat to unwind after vineyard days or gather with friends beneath the Waiheke sun.
More recently, a beautifully designed guest suite has been created above La Locanda Bistro. This fully self-contained residence includes a generous office, double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. It connects to the main villa through the winery itself, where an elevated internal bridge crosses above the winemaking area — a striking architectural moment suspended above vats and barrels, reminding visitors how closely life and craft are intertwined.
Beyond the existing buildings, further possibilities unfold across the land. At the upper reaches of the property lies a designated building platform with elevated views stretching across the sea toward Awaawaroa Bay. Plans have been prepared for additional visitor facilities carefully positioned within the landscape, offering potential to expand the hospitality experience. The estate also features an existing helipad, allowing direct access to Auckland in approximately ten minutes — a rare convenience that enhances both lifestyle and business potential.
Creativity and gathering have always been part of Poderi Crisci’s story. Among the vines sits a remarkable amphitheatre designed for performances, celebrations and shared moments beneath the open sky — reflecting the founder’s vision of bringing a slice of Italian countryside culture to Waiheke Island.
Today the estate operates as a successful vineyard and hospitality destination, yet its future could take many forms — an elegant agriturismo, a boutique vineyard retreat, an expanded wedding venue, or a private estate where vines frame everyday life.
Poderi Crisci is more than a vineyard.
It is a way of life — where wine is crafted, food is grown and people gather in a setting that feels timeless.
A slice of Tuscany, shaped on Waiheke Island.

101/22 Karori Crescent, Orakei

The Grange. One of Auckland’s earliest and most distinguished grand homes, a rare legacy estate combining heritage, scale, and future opportunity.


Originally built in 1865 for an official overseeing Auckland’s early development, the villa features strong American influence and original detailing. Once a landmark at 2 Epsom Avenue, it was meticulously relocated in 1990 to its current Wainui setting, now occupying nearly 54 hectares just 30 minutes from Auckland’s CBD. Coincidentally, it again sits perfectly balanced between the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean, with the lights of Auckland’s Sky Tower visible at night.


Spanning approximately 632 sq m (more or less). In 2006, renowned architect Terence Hitchcock sympathetically adapted the original homestead to incorporate some modern amenities that took advantage of the north-facing rural views. Including a conservatory, kitchen and family room, together with 3 car garaging and main suite above. Throughout, the home offers high ceilings, wide verandas, sun-filled living spaces and at it's heart a graceful conservatory which frames the beginning of what are continuous expansive rural views across rolling pasture and trees.


A grand tree-lined driveway and secure gated entrance lead to beautifully established gardens, originally designed by Michael Burton, with mature hedging, rose gardens, fruit trees and resident white doves creating a tranquil, romantic estate setting.


The landholding offers exceptional versatility. Fertile paddocks currently graze cattle and sheep, while a productive hay paddock yields approximately 2,000 bales per summer. Significant native forest, including mature kauri, provides a haven for kererū, tūī and kākā.


Equestrian facilities include a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena, stabling for six horses, tack room, wash bay and large implement sheds. Three-car garaging with accommodation above adds further flexibility.


There is a separate Title for what has been developed as Lot 10. Plus three additional one-hectare sections which have been consented for subdivision. Adding further land investment potential to the Estate.


Meticulously maintained and rich in provenance, The Grange stands as one of Auckland’s most compelling lifestyle and investment offerings. A true legacy estate for generations to come.

Positioned to capture expansive sunset views over the Tasman Sea, the cottage sits in complete acoustic and visual separation, with its own entrance and direct access to Piha’s surrounding bushwalks and coastal landscape.
The elevated setting and considered layout create a calm, deeply private environment suited to both extended stays and guest accommodation.
Currently configured as a one-bedroom retreat with a second room operating as a massage and wellness space, it is fully self-contained and immediately functional — a refined, quietly high-performing asset with flexibility for future use.
