800m Away, 192m Above

800 metres from shore, 192 metres up. You sit with your coffee and watch individual waves form, roll, and break. Elevated to see it all. Close enough to feel it.

Before the World Wakes

At 192m above sea level, the sunrise arrives before it reaches anyone below. Teal into gold into ocean — New Zealand coastal living at its most elemental.

The Full Picture

Four wings. A self-contained guest house above the garage. 590m² of resolved coastal design, 192m above Waimarama Beach — the whole compound visible from above.

Every Direction Has a SeatLuxury Real Estate Hawkes Bay — 382m² of Outdoor Living

Most luxury real estate in Hawke's Bay gives you a deck. This one wraps 382 square metres around the entire house — sunrise on one side, sunset on the other, sheltered spots for every wind. Three separate zones for main house, seaview wing, and guest house. The outdoor living room is bigger than most indoor ones.

382m². Every Inch Facing the Sea.

Cherry-coloured hardwood deck, blue-striped sun loungers, a sailing boat on the horizon. This is what Hawke's Bay coastal property looks like at 192m elevation.

Bay House — The Outdoors

382m² of deck. Three zones. One Pacific horizon.

Wrap-around deck 0 m²

More outdoor living space than most houses have indoors. Sheltered spots for every wind direction, every time of day.

Water feature 0 L

400mm deep with infinity edge and integrated lighting. Architectural separation between lounge and seaview wing — and 11,000 litres of firefighting reserve.

Native trees planted 0 +

Planted by the owners across the 1.5-hectare site. Natural windbreak, bird habitat, and a living screen that deepens every year.

Deck screws 0

Every screw angled at 45 degrees for a seamless, fixing-free surface. That level of care is invisible — until you notice nobody else does it.

Outdoor living zones 0

Main house wrap-around, seaview bedroom deck, and guest house balcony — each wing has its own outdoor world with its own view.

Outdoor Living on the Hawke's Bay Coast

Eight minutes to the beach. 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. The Hawke's Bay coast delivers Mediterranean climate, two thousand sunshine hours, and a hilltop where every outdoor hour feels earned.

Built to Outlast the Weather

500mm ring beam. 200mm Hebel walls. The deck survived Cyclone Gabrielle — 450mm rain, high winds, zero damage. The view is built to last.

Step Inside

The deck doors open into a glass-roofed atrium and a chef's kitchen.

The deck wraps the house. The doors open inward. On the other side — a glass-roofed atrium, a chef's kitchen, and 144 square metres of open-plan living facing the same Pacific.

Not a Pool. Something Better.Hawke's Bay Real Estate — Where Architecture Meets Water

Eleven thousand litres of water sit between the lounge and the seaview bedroom wing — shallow, lit from below, with an infinity edge that merges with the Pacific horizon. A glass-floored bridge crosses it. On a full moon night, the reflection doubles the sky. Hawke's Bay real estate with a feature no other property on this coast can match.

400mm. All Day.

Children's toys in the foreground, Bare Island in the Pacific behind. The water feature is 400mm deep — shallow enough for toddlers, wide enough for the whole afternoon.

The Mirror Between Two Wings

Not a pool. An architectural pause between day and night.

The water feature sits between the lounge and the seaview bedroom wing — 400mm deep, infinity edge, lit from below. A glass-floored bridge crosses it. By day, it mirrors the sky. By night, the full moon doubles on its surface. Eleven thousand litres that also serve as firefighting reserve.

Where the Outdoors Does the Living

Coastal living — deck, water, sky, and nothing between you and the Pacific.

Morning light on the water feature. Bare feet on warm timber. The sound of waves from 192 metres below. Lunch on the deck, the sea breeze finds you before the salad does. This is Hawke's Bay coastal living — measured in hours outside, not square metres inside.

Moon. Water. Warm Light.

The water feature mirrors the moon, the bedroom glows through open doors, candles line the rail. At 192m above sea level — this is New Zealand coastal living after dark.

Above the Weather. Inside the View.Property for Sale Hawkes Bay — A Hilltop for Every Season

Sunrise turns the Pacific gold. Storm clouds roll in from the south and break against the hills below. Coastal fog sits in the valley while the hilltop stays clear. Every season, every weather, every hour of the day looks different from 192 metres. A property for sale in Hawke's Bay where the view is never the same twice.

Storm, Beach, House, Pacific

The full coastal drama — storm clouds, rain over the ocean, waves on the beach, and Bay House lit from within. All from 192 metres.

A Hilltop That Handles Everything

192 metres above sea level. Above the fog, above the flood, above the worry.

Coastal fog sits in the valley. Storms break against the hills below. The hilltop stays clear, stays dry, stays warm. Engineered stormwater drainage handles whatever the sky delivers. Outdoor living at this elevation is outdoor living without the anxiety.

The Ocean Thermostat

The Pacific moderates what the inland plains cannot.

The coast runs to a different rhythm. The Pacific acts as a vast thermal buffer — cooling summer peaks, softening winter lows. While the Heretaunga Plains swing between extremes, Bay House sits in the moderate zone the ocean creates.

The House Beneath Both Arcs

90 evacuated solar tubes on the Atrium roof power 1,500 litres of hot water. Beneath a double rainbow over Waimarama Beach, the house runs on the weather itself.

The Hilltop Seat Where Rainbows Finish.

The property sits high enough to watch the weather arrive. Rolling green hills behind, the Pacific ahead, and occasionally a full arc overhead.

Wine Country Starts Twenty Minutes AwayHouses for Sale Hawkes Bay NZ — Built for This Coastline

Waimarama Beach eight minutes south. Award-winning wineries and restaurants in Havelock North twenty minutes west. Art Deco Napier, farmers' markets, Te Mata Peak — all within reach. Among houses for sale in Hawkes Bay NZ, few sit at the intersection of coast, climate, and culture like this one.

The Night Architecture

115 custom uplights. 2700K halogen throughout. The 11,000-litre water feature glows — architectural lighting designed to shift the mood from functional to sanctuary.

A Platform That Floats Toward the Pacific

The deck wasn't added to the house — the house was raised to meet it.

The entire house was lifted 400mm to a full metre above ground to bring everything onto one level — and to create a deck that sits at exactly the same height as the interior floor. The result is an unbroken plane from kitchen to coastline, an infinity platform that visually merges with the ocean. Fourteen thousand screws, every one angled and hidden.

Private Wing. Private Moon.

The seaview bedroom wing has its own entrance, its own deck, its own kitchenette. At night, the full moon rises directly over the water.

No Light Pollution. No Neighbours.

No streetlights, no neighbours. The deck uplights are enough. The full moon rises from the Pacific and paints a path 800 metres long, all the way to Bay House.
