Magical seaside retreat
Every day is a holiday at 846 Clevedon Kawakawa Road where you can indulge in complete privacy, tranquillity - and stunning coastal views, with access to the water.
Owners Angela and Russell designed this contemporary residence in 2017 to make the most of the spectacular site, nestled into the hillside to protect from the weather and overlooking the ever-changing vista of the wetlands along the Clevedon River and rolling hills of Duders Regional Park, Waiheke and beyond.
The result is simply exquisite - a seamless blend of indoors and out that feels like coming home to an upmarket resort.
This enviable contemporary cedar home is perfectly at home among the contoured hills and wetlands of the surrounding landscape, while inside, well-designed openplan living, fantastic indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic views take your breath away.
The large open-plan European-style kitchen, dining and lounge area features a 3m high ceiling that creates an airy feeling - one that is further enhanced by the spectacular vista. The indoors flows effortlessly out onto a 55sqm sun-drenched deck plus 60sqm of covered decking. Perfect for year-round entertaining, this stunning outdoor living space incorporates an outdoor kitchen with wood-fired oven, granite benchtop and dishwasher plus automated shade blinds that can be adjusted to suit all weather conditions.
“It’s a fantastic house for entertaining and the views are just incredible,” says Angela. “We’ve had some great birthday parties here. We love relaxing on the deck while watching the boats go by or our son and his friend as they jet ski or wakeboard up and down the river. We’re right on a reserve, with direct access to the water and boat ramp, and our son could easily wander down with his jet ski.”
Angela and Russell have loved waking up in paradise every morning while overlooking the sea and pastoral views from the comfort of the master suite, which also comes with a large walk-in wardrobe and stunning ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles, underfloor heating and a feature window overlooking a private garden.
A second bedroom, family bathroom, study nook and oodles of storage complete the picture inside. A designer onebedroom studio on the property is perfect for extended family or guest accommodation, and the large workshop and shed have room for all the big boy’s toys.
With just a short drive from the polo grounds and Clevedon village seven minutes away with its cafés, restaurants, arts and crafts and farmer’s markets, this seaside property is the perfect getaway and yet so close to everything you need. Your dream lifestyle awaits.
