Imagine walking out of your architecturally-designed North Shore home, through the pohutukawas which frame the view, to step down onto the sand.
That’s the reality for the buyer of 25 Huntly Road in Campbells Bay, Auckland, an architecturally-designed five-bedroom, four-bathroom, high spec property on the market for $8.5m, says agent Lewis Guy, of Premium Real Estate.
The two-level cedar home with easy-care copper guttering on a big section is positioned to make the most of the sun, surf and sand.
“A lot of beachfront properties are quite flat-facing so they don’t get the later day sun whereas this is quite unique the way it’s angled to the north so it gets more sun through the outdoor area on the beach which is rather nice. It’s a pretty cool spot.”

The home features automated technology and is beautifully-finished, Guy says.
There are four bedrooms, two living areas and two en suites in the main house, plus a separate large fifth bedroom which is perfect for guests, family or older children.
There is also a beachfront shed for the water skis and paddle board, and there is a spa pool.
The ground level has the living and dining areas with a bespoke kitchen and there’s a great home office which can be tucked away behind a frosted glass screen, perfect for the working-from-home post-Covid-19 world.
A large formal living room, ideal for the kids’ to chill out in, has a cosy fireplace and sea views, and that can be hidden behind frosted glass or left open.
There is even a little room the current owners use for whiskey tasting.
“They have a collection of whiskey and have people round where they sit and have a tasting session. It has a very cool vibe.”
Upstairs features the master bedroom with big en suite and walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony.
“That’s rather cool for ma and pa to go out there and chill out and have a glass of bubbly and look at the view.”
The property is over 1000 sq m in size, which is big for a beachfront site and easily big enough to put in a pool, though the beach itself is so close and is a family-friendly one.
“There’s not bucket-loads of houses through there. It’s quite a boutique type of beach and it’s not high traffic.”
A deep double garage will accommodate the jetski plus there is an outdoor area for the boat but one of the best features of the property is its easy flow in a great location only 15 minutes from the CBD, Guy says.
“It all stacks back and flows outside to a beautifully-tiled outdoor area. You go from one area to another without anything getting in the way.
“This one-of-a-kind property simply is the whole package for you and your family to cherish now and into the future.”
