Property Overview

Set on five hectares of pristine coastal land, this Sumich Chaplin architectural masterpiece spans an impressive 855 sqm - a private sanctuary that defines luxury coastal living in New Zealand. Crafted with precision and artistry, the home celebrates space and serenity with multiple living zones flowing organically throughout.

Seven bedroom suites each offer uncompromised comfort and sea views, with elegant connection to the walled courtyard and living terrace featuring uninterrupted sea vistas. The property includes a grassed foreshore with private jetty and boat ramp, ensuring seamless exploration of the Hauraki Gulf and its exquisite islands.

Accessible by car, boat, or a 10-15 minute scenic flight from Auckland directly to the private helipad, Omaru Bay Lodge represents more than a residence - it's a riparian coastal lifestyle estate sitting at the pinnacle of New Zealand real estate.

Originally purchased in 2008 for $4.3 million by London-based expats who fell in love with the property on their way to the airport, the home was completely rebuilt by award-winning Sumich Chaplin Architects and Argon Construction. The transformation included the stunning floating infinity pool that prompted the total rebuild, creating a masterpiece capable of hosting celebrations for 50+ guests.
