A brand new architect-designed home with a copper-clad exterior and direct access to a secluded beach is on the market in Takapuna, Auckland.
Designed by Adrian McNaught of Matter Architects, the property celebrates its beachfront location and has panoramic views of the ocean.
“When I first visited the site, I walked down to the beach and saw the natural beauty of the area which inspired me to incorporate raw materials into the design.
“The colours on the beach of sandstone blended with rust-red staining really struck me. We used copper on the roof and the walls of the home as a celebration of the surrounding natural environment, and because this cliff top site required the highest quality materials.
“We designed the property so that every level is a camera to the view and the eye is always drawn to the sea. The views are spectacular and they are the real hero of the home,” says Mr McNaught.
Selling agent, Grant Dickson of Ray White Remuera, says he expects interest from international buyers.
“Its setting exemplifies the unique beauty of New Zealand and I expect our buyer to be an outsider who comes in and falls in love with the area.
“This is the very top end of property in Takapuna. The quality of the design and build is without peer in the area. The property sits on a half share of 2,332 square metres of land including your own slice of beachfront - it’s true luxury.
“The master bedroom occupies the entire top floor and has two separate bathrooms.
“The home has never been lived in and offers 454 square metres of space, a further three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, two living areas on separate levels and open plan indoor/outdoor living,” says Mr Dickson.
The property is for sale by negotiation with price expectations above $6m.
