38 View Road, Ostend, Waiheke Island

Описание: The Acropolis – Vintage Fearon Hay

Romance from Rhodes alights on this high northern ridge, poised between Palm Beach and Onetangi. Here unfolds an Aegean dreamworld where detail almost upstages architectural essence. Durrell’s Spirit of Place is embedded in this intergenerational home, steeped in the memory, of 23 baking summers.

Art compels presence. J Botica’s pebbled mosaic pathway entrance unfolds an island tale through a sculptural glade of nikau. Onward, through a private rear lawn, you arrive at the hallucinogenic plinth of a reclining Adonis above the pool, within a dramatic private pavilion. Introspection triumphs. Be still – take it all in. There is room for your own orchestra in this mesmeric oikos to which every room opens through cedar shutters – trapping the light until 10:00 p.m. for break-out and entertaining.

The vast northwest gaze from a grand upper deck and rooftop Mediterranean gazebo commands a 270-degree panorama of the Gulf and the Tamaki Strait. A home, still avant-garde, with outward as well as inward aspiration. Sunsets melt before your eyes, making every evening a light show.

Floor-to-ceiling sliders open and unite, offering cool breezeways. A master wing closes into its own apartment. Wall tiles dance in sunlight; concrete, glass and marble are in great balance – all a lock-and-leave bunker. Yet wherever the practical leads, there is aesthetic dividend. Features too exhaustive to list here (request our e-book) include a multipurpose games room, a secret wine cellar and a dumbwaiter to the lower level. A walkway along the front boundary will lead a clambering bunch of teenagers to Palm Beach … all the while … Adonis reclines. This astonishing property aches to be embodied by the next family.
