This impressive clifftop home has a pool, tennis court and stunning views

Located at the peak of Beach Road above the Campbells Bay cliff, this 1550m² waterfront estate showcases views that must be seen to be believed. Located back from the road behind two sets of electric security gates, the private compound boasts a grand, architecturally-designed residence, resort-style pool and spa and full-sized tennis court.

Part of the elite group of properties that embrace the cliff, the location is within one of the North Shore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Campbells Bay beach is an easy walk down the hill and bountiful Centennial Park, with its tennis club, walking tracks and access to Pupuke Golf Course, is across the road. Another huge bonus for families is the school zoning, as it falls in both the Rangitoto and Westlake zones, along with renowned Campbells Bay Primary and Murrays Bay Intermediate.

Calling it their ‘slice of Kiwi paradise,’ the current owners have owned this property since 2005, after time spent overseas. They’ve relished the incredible privacy, location and spectacular and ever-changing landscape of sea, land and sky always on display. While the estate embraces a wide expanse of the clifftop, thoughtful design placing it back from the edge affords an excellent sense of privacy. Many elements, both inside and out, have been updated over the past decade, affording excellent peace of mind as well as aesthetic enhancement. Those with an affinity with the water will savour the soundtrack of waves and the ocean breezes flowing through the home at all times.

Interiors are classic and elegant, with gracious proportions and a layout designed for both grand and intimate entertaining. Double front doors open into the dramatic entry foyer, where a romantic sweeping staircase and open top level enhance the glamorous ambience. The open plan living, dining, sunken lounge and kitchen has walls of windows along the front side, opening out to different terraces that can be selected for alfresco entertaining dependant on the time of day. Outside, the large swimming pool, landscaped grounds and tennis court drastically minimise the need for a beach house and tropical holidays.

Overlooking the Kennedy Park cliffs, the vantage point captures 180 degrees of unobstructed panorama that stretches from the Eastern suburbs, Takapuna, Auckland ports and the Coromandel, right up to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and Tiritiri Matangi, with Rangitoto Island, both Little and Great Barrier and all the islands of the gulf sprinkled in between. From dawn ‘til dusk, the outlook is constantly alive with activity. Sunrises blaze across the water, cruise ships and container vessels make their way up and down the channel, flotillas of yachts from the local North Shore clubs fill the sea and pods of dolphins frolic in the bay. It’s captivating whether the weather is wild or calm and the grandstand position is the perfect spectators spot for the America’s Cup.

The fifth bedroom/ media room is located on the ground floor, along with a bathroom, home office, internal garage access and large laundry and storage area. Upstairs, there are four more bedrooms, including the luxurious master with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus another two bathrooms. A host of inclusions and features enhance the living environment, including American Oak flooring, underfloor heating, Bosch appliances, Italian tapware and granite tops in all bathrooms, heat pumps and a top-quality security system.

Generous dimensions mean the site is subdividable, so those with an eye to the future may wish to redevelop the property to create another clifftop dwelling. Initial foresight when positioning the main house on the site has means the adjacent tennis court area is the perfect flat canvas and is easily accessible for building.

This exceptional property embodies clifftop living at its quintessential best in Campbells Bay.
