78 Onetangi Road, Onetangi, Waiheke Island

Between legends

Positioned between Te Motu and Stonyridge - two of the Southern Hemisphere's most historically significant Bordeaux-style vineyards - 78 Onetangi Road represents one of the rarest land offerings in New Zealand wine real estate.

This is not simply a development opportunity.

It is the chance to shape a future estate within a mesoclimate that helped redefine international perceptions of New Zealand fine wine. To the west, Stonyridge's legendary 1987 Larose brought global attention to the Onetangi Valley and remains regarded as one of New Zealand's most celebrated wines. To the east, Te Motu achieved international acclaim when its flagship wine was recognised among the finest Bordeaux-style wines outside France.

Between these two benchmarks lies a remarkable parcel of land. Rolling gently toward the sea and framed by established vines, the property sits within the Onetangi corridor — a landscape now regarded as one of New Zealand's most revered Cabernet-growing environments. The same Jurassic clay soils, north-facing aspect and maritime climate that contributed to the success of its neighbours are present here.

For the right custodian, this is a rare opportunity to create something truly enduring. Whether envisioned as a private vineyard estate, a luxury hospitality retreat, a world-class wellness destination, or the foundation for a future cult wine from one of the Southern Hemisphere's rarest terroirs, the possibilities are exceptional. With a proven terroir and legendary neighbours, the fundamentals are already in place - what comes next is entirely your own vision to realise.
