155 Ocean View Road Oneroa, Waiheke Island

It could be the Cote d'Azur or the Italian Riviera, but this is in fact the crystalline turquoise waters and white sands of Oneroa Bay, viewed from a rare vantage point right in the heart of Oneroa village. Shops, cafes and the island's vibrant restaurant precinct are all just moments away, yet the outlook feels worlds apart.

Behind its Mediterranean facade, this substantial beachside villa reveals an exceptional and cleverly concealed advantage: it is configured as two fully self-contained homes within one elegant residence. One wing comprises a four-bedroom villa, the other a two-bedroom + study, each complete with its own fully appointed kitchen, bathrooms and generous living spaces.

Throughout, refined ceramic flooring, timber shutters and cohesive design details create an effortless sense of coastal European style. A beautifully paved garden courtyard, complete with a lion-head water feature and even a private petanque piste, further enhances the home's distinctive charm.

The piece de resistance is the expansive, north-facing sun deck, flooded with natural light and commanding sweeping views across the bay, where boats drift in and out against an ever-changing seascape.

Set in a premium location, this remarkable property presents a rare range of options for the discerning buyer. Retain it as two separate living spaces for extended family, live in one and derive income from the other, operate both as holiday accommodation, or re-envision the home as a single grand luxury residence.

Whether you seek an exceptional home, a sophisticated investment, or the perfect balance of both, the true appeal of this property can only be appreciated in person, standing on the sun-soaked deck, overlooking Oneroa Bay, and experiencing it for yourself.
