34A Coromandel Road, Oneroa

Seven years ago when a gifted Parisian couple secured this spot from the other side of the globe, who would have imagined the sleek retreat now nestled on this west-side valley? Was it our 3.5 minute home-video walk of Don's track from the site's rear to the beach that ensnared their hearts? Or the pre-historic aura of the Hekerua Bay precinct with its micro-climate and green-black trees? Their toil has culminated in an elegant design that floats through the canopy at different levels. An entertaining/yoga deck splurges like a Taniwha's tongue into the valley, sun-baked throughout the day. Bedrooms are conveniently separated - ideal holiday conditions for extended family and guests. Forgetting a towel is no drama if you saunter along the track for a swim, paddle-board or kayak in the silken waters of this northern bay least accessible to tourists. Cosmopolitan yet Waihetian, shrouded in other-worldly sensations, our creative duo have drawn a line in the sand. This startlingly near-coastal position will thus soon be gone. AUCTION: 12:00 p.m. Saturday 5 February 2022 On-Site (unless sold prior)
