Private Paradise - Nature is Your Neighbour

Tranquillity, privacy, birdsong and fresh mountain air. A place to slow down, breathe deeply and truly hear your own thoughts. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle, and one that my vendors have treasured for the past 17 years.

Tucked away from prying eyes and the everyday bustle of suburbia, this special haven has been the backdrop to a lifetime of precious memories, from raising their child to enjoying time with their grandchildren. Now, as they embark on their next chapter, they invite a new family to discover this remarkable setting and create treasured memories of their own.

Meandering up the tree-lined driveway, you could almost imagine you're heading towards the heights of the Hakarimata Ranges. But as the property comes into view, you're greeted by a scene that feels straight out of a country living magazine. Nestled amongst a beautiful native bush setting, this spacious family home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, with leafy outlooks from every angle.

Step inside and the sense of space immediately welcomes you. A wide entrance hallway, impressive high stud ceilings and exposed beams create warmth, character and a feeling of understated country charm.

The home offers three generous double bedrooms, a separate family room and spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, providing room for the family to spread out while still enjoying time together.
The country-inspired kitchen feels perfectly at home in its natural surroundings, with generous bench and cupboard space, a large pantry and all the essentials for everyday living and entertaining. A charming office nook provides a quiet corner to catch up on work, settle in with a good book or simply enjoy a peaceful cuppa while taking in the outlook.

When it comes to entertaining, the expansive decking offers an exceptional setting for summer barbecues, family gatherings or simply relaxing amongst the trees. Venture up to the slightly elevated garden area, where a small pool invites you to unwind while soaking up the breathtaking bush views. Listen carefully and you may hear the distinctive calls of tÃÆ'…«ÃÆ'Þ« and kererÃÆ'…«, accompanied by the gentle sounds of the stream meandering below.

Beyond the home, the property continues to deliver that wonderful rural feel. The original woodshed and calf-rearing shed remain, adding to the property's character, while the usable land is currently grazed by the neighbours' sheep.

And for families, just imagine the childhood this setting could offer. Adventures by the stream, eeling on a lazy afternoon, tree huts tucked amongst the trees, and endless games of hide-and-seek in a natural playground that most children can only dream of. This is the kind of environment where imaginations run wild and childhood memories are made.

Meticulously cared for and beautifully manicured, the property reflects the pride and attention its owners have invested over the years. A single garage and ample parking at the top of the property provide practical convenience without detracting from the peaceful surroundings.

Yet despite this wonderful sense of escape, convenience remains close at hand, with The Base approximately 14 minutes away by car and easy access to the Waikato Expressway.
If you're yearning for a lifestyle where privacy, nature and family living come together, where the birdsong replaces the traffic noise and the pace of life feels a little more relaxed, this is an opportunity to secure something truly special.

Your own private paradise awaits. Come and experience the magic for yourself.

Welcome to Wynona, where country serenity meets contemporary family living. Set high on a plateau with glorious coastal and rural views, this is a home that invites you to slow down, spread out and enjoy life, all within easy reach of the city.

A legacy written into the landscape

After generations in the Gordon family, one of Waiheke's most remarkable coastal landholdings is being offered to the market.
Set along the island's spectacular south-eastern coastline, 630 Gordons Road encompasses approximately 18.78 hectares of elevated pasture and established native landscape, sweeping all the way to the water's edge. With over one kilometre of waterfront, a beautifully sheltered bay and expansive views across the surrounding waters, this is a property of exceptional scale, privacy and character.

The original family homestead sits elevated within the property, enjoying sweeping coastal views and retaining much of its original character. A driveway leads down to the waterfront, where a second, three-bedroom dwelling and boatshed sit along the shoreline. Further around the coastline stands the historic woolshed, an enduring connection to generations of farming and family life at Awaawaroa.

The existing buildings present intriguing possibilities, whether restoring and preserving elements of the property's heritage or exploring the potential to create an entirely new architectural vision within this exceptional coastal setting, subject to the necessary approvals.

The Gordon family's connection with Waiheke dates back to the 1860s, with generations living, farming and raising their families at Awaawaroa. Today, this is the last remaining piece of the original Gordon family landholding, bringing more than a century of history to an extraordinary waterfront offering.

In earlier days, visitors arrived by steamship at the Awaawaroa Bay wharf, making their way along the shoreline to the Gordon family's guesthouse on the neighbouring property. The working woolshed at 630 Gordons Road played its own memorable part in this history, transformed on special occasions for weddings, dances, church services and gatherings, with lanterns suspended beneath its substantial kauri beams. That history remains woven into the landscape, giving this extraordinary coastal property a sense of place and provenance that cannot be recreated.

For the next owner, the opportunity is equally compelling. Whether envisaged as a private family retreat, a restoration of the existing buildings or an entirely new vision for the land, 630 Gordons Road offers the space, setting and freedom to imagine something truly special, subject to the necessary consents.

What is being offered is increasingly difficult to replicate: the scale of the land, the waterfront, the privacy, the position and the opportunity to shape the next chapter of one of Waiheke's most significant coastal holdings.

18.78ha | Over 1km of waterfront | Two dwellings | Boatshed | Historic woolshed | Mooring*

Architectural character, shaped by the coast

Designed by Min Hall, co-founder of Arthouse Studio, and completed in 2005, this architect-designed residence brings together the enduring character of villa architecture with the comfort of contemporary design.

Custom-made joinery, substantial heritage-style skirting boards and timber-framed windows and doors give the interiors warmth and texture. High ceilings, timber floors and a wraparound verandah establish a sense of character, while north-facing living spaces and expansive double-glazed windows capture natural light and sea views across the Waimea Inlet, where the outlook changes with the tides. The rooftop solar system adds a practical advantage, with the potential to offset daytime electricity use and reduce reliance on grid power.

At the heart of the home, a generous kitchen and separate scullery connect with open-plan living and dining areas. The proportions accommodate both everyday living and larger gatherings, with double doors creating an easy connection to the verandah and outdoors. Underfloor heating, individually controlled in each room, provides year-round comfort, while a substantial wood burner in the lounge and dining area adds warmth and atmosphere.

The master suite is positioned away from the main living areas, offering privacy and an outlook across the inlet, framed by wisteria along the verandah. Corner windows capture the changing light throughout the day, while a walk-in wardrobe concealed behind shuttered doors maintains the home's architectural character. Nearby, a separate office with a built-in wooden desk provides a dedicated workspace.

The remaining two bedrooms occupy a separate wing, with a lockable door allowing this part of the home to function independently when required. Both rooms are generously proportioned and share a large bathroom. One bedroom has previously been used for Airbnb accommodation and has direct verandah access, offering flexibility for extended family, visiting guests or potential short-stay use.

The grounds bring a further dimension to the property. Established heritage fruit trees, orchard plantings, mature gardens and native vegetation reflect years of growth and care, creating a landscape that would take considerable time to establish elsewhere. Combined with the home's scale and its position alongside the Waimea Inlet, the grounds offer a sense of space and privacy with a close connection to the surrounding coastal environment.

Set in Redwood Valley, Richmond is approximately 10 minutes away, with Māpua around seven minutes by car. Schools, shops and supermarkets are within easy reach, while the beaches, art studios, restaurants and wineries of the wider Tasman region are close at hand.

For buyers seeking a lifestyle property near Richmond and Māpua, the appeal lies in the combination of architectural character, sea views and an established landscape. Much of what gives this property its identity is already in place, from the home's distinctive design to the mature grounds that surround it.
