A layer cake of luxury, this palatial home overlooks Okahu Bay and the Hauraki Gulf. At 818sqm it is grand in scale and, with top-level craftsmanship poured into every high-end detail, it is also lavish.Spread over four levels, extravagant living starts with the lower floor, which has garaging, a movie room, sauna and pool changing room. Next, on the ground level, is the entrance leading to the living room, lounge, kitchen and scullery with wine cellar. You’ll also find a self-contained apartment and laundry with guest toilet. Up the stairs are four bedrooms, including the main suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and two bathrooms. The upper floor has a second living area with bar, kitchenette and powder room. A lift and stairs connect all four floors. To accommodate the lower level, the section had to be excavated and piled. The house itself is a mixture of in-situ concrete and masonry with a plaster finish. Every detail here is considered and opulent – even the spouting and downpipes are made of copper. There’s a large pool with a spa, tiled loggia and landscaping to suit the style of the home. Inside are materials you’d expect to find in such a property, including marble and solid timber floors.
