47 Natzka Road, Ostend

On a quiet street along Anzac Bay, an extraordinary Richard Priest-designed home gathers the shifting play of light and sea. Every space is deliberate - private, yet always tethered to the rhythm of tide, sky and human presence.

The lower level features gleaming hardwood floors, a bespoke kitchen, a family dining area and a conservatory that glows with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide and fold away effortlessly, opening to a sheltered rear courtyard and a bay-facing front deck. A cosy lounge-warmed by a gas fireplace - exudes intimacy, while an office/study, a double bedroom with deck access and a designer bathroom complete the level.

An industrial-inspired staircase, lined with bookshelves, ascends to the main suite that claims the entire floor. Triangular windows draw the eye outward, maintaining the connection to sky and sea. Here, the bay stretches wide-views reaching across to vineyards, wetlands and Rangihoua Reserve. An ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and balcony form a private sanctuary-serene, light-filled and open to the sea breeze.

The grounds - meticulously landscaped with intention - feature low maintenance exotic plantings that wrap the home in tropical calm, while a spa pool and unique fencing carve out spaces for both privacy and gatherings. A spacious garage provides laundry and workshop facilities, complemented by two sheds.

This home is a study in balance: between solitude and connection, shelter and openness, permanence and retreat. Its flexible design, prime waterfront location and proximity to the vibrant heart of Waiheke - Ostend Village with its markets, schools, transport links, boat ramp, sports parks and community life - make it a rare and captivating opportunity.
