The Room to Relax & Unwind
Fireplace, library, 9m of Pacific. Sit down.
A double-sided fireplace, floor-to-ceiling ocean views, built-in library, and home theatre. The lounge connects to the atrium, kitchen, and deck without losing its sense of calm.
Two Wings. Two Masters.
Seaview bedroom wing. Waimarama House wing.
The Seaview master wakes to the Pacific through floor-to-ceiling glass. The Waimarama wing sits beside the atrium — quieter, warmer. Two masters, two worlds.
The Atrium & Kitchen
Glass roof. Chef's kitchen. 144m² open plan.
The atrium absorbs solar heat by day, releases warmth by evening. The kitchen runs the full width — Miele, wood-fired pizza oven, La Cimbali, 9-metre corner window.
Second Home Above the Garage
68m². Two beds, two baths. Fully independent.
Physically separate, completely independent. Miele kitchen, open fireplace, private entrance, balcony facing Bare Island. Guests stay for months — never feeling like visitors.
Deck, Water Feature & the Coast
382m² of deck. Water feature. Two beaches.
The deck wraps every wing at floor level — one continuous outdoor plane. The water feature glows between the wings. Hawke's Bay delivers two beaches within ten minutes.
Two Beaches. Eight Minutes. Zero Crowds.
Waimarama south. Ocean Beach north. Both yours.
Waimarama's 3.2km crescent empties by Tuesday. Ocean Beach — five kilometres, barely a footprint. Both within ten minutes of a hilltop where the salt stays at the shore.
Bay House — The Full Picture
One hilltop. Five wings. The complete estate.
Main house, guest house, wrap-around deck, water feature — all on 1.5 private hectares at 192 metres above the Hawke's Bay coast. The full picture, from above.
Unique Property for Sale NZ — What Makes Bay House Unrepeatable
What makes a home unrepeatable? A glass-floored bridge over a lit water feature. An infinity view engineered by raising the house a full metre above ground. 293 metres of hidden ducts carrying 115 handmade uplights. A unique home for sale where the most impressive decisions are the ones you can't see.
Infinity View Engineering
The view doesn't end at the deck. It floats to the horizon.
The house is elevated up to 1 metre, with the deck on the same level to extend the platform outward. At 192m elevation, the view flows seamlessly to the horizon, with sunken gardens and a glass link bridge preserving the infinity feel.
No Curtains Needed
Every window faces sky and ocean. Nobody looks in.
The hilltop position and careful wing orientation ensure complete seclusion and privacy. No neighbours overlook any room. No curtains needed — live open to the view, day and night.
Hidden Infrastructure
293 metres of hidden intelligence. Every panel opens with one screw.
Custom-made channels concealing water, electrical, data, security, and heating.
Custom-made light boxes integrated into the duct system — 2700K warm.
Every duct section accessible for maintenance and upgrades.
The Ocean from Every Hour — A Home with Water View, NZ
Most ocean view properties show you the water. This unique home shows you the water changing — sunrise gold, storm purple, moonpath silver. Bath facing the Pacific at dawn. Dinner beside it at dusk. 270 degrees of coastline that no future development can touch.
The View That Never Repeats
270 degrees of Pacific Ocean. No curtains required.
Waimarama Beach to Bare Island to the Mahia Peninsula — and nothing but horizon beyond.
Koemmerling German-engineered double glazing. Every pane frames the Pacific.
The kitchen's corner panorama window dissolves the wall between cooking and coastline.
Step outside from almost any room. Morning sun, afternoon shelter, sunset everywhere.
A Sunrise That Changes Every Morning
270 degrees of Pacific Ocean. From your pillow to your coffee cup.
Dawn breaks over the Pacific and floods every east-facing room with light. The panorama stretches from Waimarama Beach to the Mahia Peninsula — a 270-degree arc that shifts with every cloud, every tide, every season. Visible from everywhere.
Why This Panorama Is Permanent
Elevation. Topography. Privacy. The three things money can't retrofit.
A 590m² Coastal Home — Craftsmanship in Every Surface
Every surface in this house was considered. 600 square metres of tongue-and-groove pine, sanded and sealed twice. 115 uplights, each handmade, each recessed into custom duct boxing. A smart home running on Philips Hue, Grid Connect, and Google Mesh. Among interesting homes for sale, this is the one where the luxury is in the layers — not the labels.
600m² Tongue & Groove
Secret-nailed. White-bleached. Every room, every walkway.
Approximately 600 square metres of white-bleached pine panels, secret-nailed across living areas, bedrooms, walkways, the glass link bridge, and exterior soffits. At night under uplighting, the texture transforms into a luminous canopy.
115 Custom Uplights
At night, the ceiling becomes a luminous canopy.
Professionally designed lighting with 293 metres of custom service ducts housing 115 light boxes, illuminating water feature, garden, artwork, crystal cabinets and wine cellar, so at night the tongue‑and‑groove ceiling becomes a luminous canopy.

Every room, every appliance, every piece of furniture — documented, photographed, and included. Miele kitchen, Villeroy & Boch tableware, Nachtmann crystal, outdoor furniture, garden tools. A unique property for sale that arrives complete. Move in, not fit out.
The Hawke's Bay Address
Eight minutes to the sand. Twenty to wine country. Forty-five to the airport.
Waimarama Beach eight minutes south. Ocean Beach ten minutes north. Havelock North twenty minutes for dinner. A unique home with water view on the Hawke's Bay coast — close to everything, private from everyone.
How's the Lifestyle and Day-to-Day?
What living here actually feels like — from morning to after dark.
The sunrise wakes you before the alarm. La Cimbali espresso from the kitchen, fresh rosemary from the hedge outside. The deck is warm by 9am. Waimarama Beach is eight minutes if you want it — or stay on the hilltop and let the Pacific come to you.
Quiet — not remote. Havelock North's cafes, restaurants, and supermarket are 20 minutes. The hilltop sits 650 metres from the main road, so there's no traffic noise. Birds, waves from below, and the occasional neighbour's garden tools are the soundtrack.
Hawke's Bay is one of New Zealand's sunniest regions. The hilltop position sits above the coastal fog line — clear when the valleys are grey. Mild winters, warm dry summers, and a sea breeze that keeps summer temperatures comfortable without air conditioning.
The glass-roofed atrium stays bright regardless of the weather. The double-sided fireplace warms the lounge and atrium simultaneously. The home theatre, the library, the wine room, and a kitchen designed for serious cooking make a rainy day at Bay House genuinely enjoyable.
