breathe in - pause - exhale – northern bays
crème de la crème positioning means being situated on the
tranquil ring-road portion of this north-side, dress circle drive – 5 minutes
to all its enchanting northern coves.
here is where an architecturally distinct mcquarrie creation
sits in quiet contemplation, surrounded by kowhai and tui. the home is private
from the road, a talismanic 300-year-old pohutakawa stands sentinel at its
street frontage and a short, wooded path leads you to the covered entrance.
‘three tower house’ combines soaring timber ceilings,
abundant natural light and a waterfall-like flow through succinct relaxing
spaces; an upper master with sea views, a private internal courtyard, a bath
with a view of orion’s belt (we will explain), and an additional living wing
and yoga den.
all the while the newton reserve draws the eye down toward
oneroa bay and the comings and goings of boats in the coastal surrounds.
while an additional garden shed and storage lock-up cupboard
provide handy utility – this home is not about collecting ‘stuff’, but will
incline you more toward paring back your life to an understated simplicity -
rest and reflection – creative work - whatever matters most to you - in a prime
island location.
our already vacated owner is relinquishing her ten-year-old
treasure, so if you want to invest in your health in 2026 – this is the ticket.
