Dazzling views and engineering triumph.

In one of Auckland's most prestigious streets, this modern fairy-tale castle-like home by legendary architect Claude Megson offers showstopping, sweeping 270-degree views over Bloodworth Park to the harbour and city skyline. Profoundly serene and luxuriously comfortable, it is one of Arney Road's most impressive homes, dazzling with architectural originality on a large 1102sqm site.

The unique cliff-top masterpiece constructed of solid stucco plaster was meticulously renovated. However, in the torrential storms of February 2023 a landslide left the foundations exposed. In 2024, the owner has spent around $1.5million to remediate the property to ensure complete stability. Designed by renowned engineering firm Babbage and built by industry leader Groundfix. It was anchored to solid rock with seven barrier piles, two underpinning piles and six ground anchors that knit together and hold it firm forever.
