In the pursuit of perfection, it took years to shape this spectacular property on Takapuna's waterfront.
Solitary and private and surrounded by sub-tropical gardens, so close is this secure, contemporary complex to the water it conjours the sense of being adrift in the mid-ocean.

The large home, built on several levels, and self-contained pool house were designed with modern comforts in mind by architect Frans Kammermans. Built of solid masonry, the pale european beech floors and joinery deliver understated Scandinavian flavours in rooms where every function is simply controlled by electronic touch pad. The large formal and family living areas open onto sweeping terraces enfolded in greenery, yet catching sun all day. Every space is generous - a library, a lofty office with harbour views, home theatre, gym, five car garaging with wine cellar and workshop.
