An Extraordinary Waterfront Estate
Evoking the ambience of a private international resort, this estate offers a distinctive waterfront lifestyle in one of the world's most desirable countries.
Privately positioned on the Karaka waterfront, 47 Island View Road brings together the qualities that define a genuine family estate: a substantial residence, established grounds, a direct connection to the water, exceptional entertaining spaces, recreational amenities, extensive garaging and the freedom that comes with space.
This is an estate where the experience extends well beyond the home itself. From the moment you arrive, established gardens and expansive lawns create a sense of privacy and separation. The residence opens naturally to outdoor living areas, inviting the outdoors into everyday life.
The waterfront is fundamental to the property's character. Rather than serving simply as a backdrop, the water becomes part of the way the estate is enjoyed, bringing boating, recreation and the changing moods of the harbour into daily life. Together with the heated swimming pool, private hydroslide and multiple entertaining areas, the waterfront setting offers a distinctive resort-style lifestyle without sacrificing the comfort and privacy of a family home.
Inside, the substantial residence has been developed for living as much as for entertaining. Generous accommodation and multiple living areas provide flexibility for family and guests, while the natural connection between indoor spaces, terraces, lawns and the waterfront allows gatherings to move effortlessly between the house and its surroundings. Underfloor heating and substantial supporting infrastructure further enhance year-round comfort.
Beyond the principal residence, extensive garaging, shedding and ancillary areas provide valuable additional capacity for vehicles, boats, equipment and collections. These spaces allow the estate to accommodate a broad range of interests and evolving family needs without compromising the main home or the presentation of the grounds.
A location on the property is used for helicopter landings, adding another dimension to the estate's appeal. Alongside road access and the property's waterfront position, this further enhances its distinctive character.
Located in Karaka, Auckland, the estate brings together an established waterfront setting, resort-style recreation and extensive supporting facilities. Its appeal lies in this combination of attributes, creating a family estate that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate today.
