After owning this spectacular home on the waterfront at Omaha Harbour for five years, the current owner says that she will really miss it because it’s such a wonderful property to be in.
251 Omaha Drive in Omaha, Rodney, Auckland, is on the market to be sold at auction on October 16. According to OneRoof data, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom property has a current ratings valuation of $4.25 million and last changed hands in July 2017 for $2.825m.
“During the lockdowns it was so pleasant and peaceful, and it’s quite interesting looking around the neighbourhood; a lot of people found that working from home here went well for them and they’ve since decided to become permanent residents,” the owner says.
She adds that the views are exceptional. “You see the estuary, the boats, the birds, and the scene is ever-changing,” the owner says.

As a rare bonus, there is yet another outdoor living space on the top floor. This time it’s reached from the master bedroom – with its walk-in wardrobe and luxury ensuite.
Glass balustrades on the upper deck ensure that views are never disrupted, and the spa bath is perfect for a laid-back soak under the stars. A second bedroom on this level also has an ensuite bathroom and there’s a central-shared, lounge.
A generous double garage – along with several sheds – provide ample space for kayaks, bikes, golf carts plus other holiday and sporting paraphernalia.
Nearby Omaha Beach Golf Club is where former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key perfected his technique, prior to playing a few rounds with US president Barack Obama.
The owner says that the property is just five houses away from the local boat ramp and the surf beach is a two or three-minute walk away, depending on how energetic you feel.

Di Balich of Precision Real Estate says that the handsome dwelling has much to recommend it.
“This is your chance to own one of the widest waterfront frontages on the Omaha Harbour and at eight years old, it’s a lot more modern than many of the surrounding homes, which were built around 18 or so years ago.
“The spectacular dramatic 180-degree sea views, complete privacy and a trio of morning and afternoon sun and sensational red sunsets completes this sensational family experience.”
Balich adds that new owners will be able to move in for Christmas and the summer holidays.
Omaha is around 75km from central Auckland and the journey takes around one hour. Shops, a cinema, restaurants, cafes, and a super-popular farmers market in Matakana are easily reached, and decile 9 Matakana School is just over six kilometres away.
