- SkyView at Nga Parae Road, Oropi is a perfect showcase of considered design.
- The multi-award-winning residence crafted by Stufkens+Chambers Architects/Shaw Builders has recently listed.
- Here’s everything the asking price of NZ$15.25 million (AU$13.95 million) buys you.
Nestled in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty, at the end of a private road 2.5 hours from Auckland, lies a minimalist masterpiece that’s paradoxically anything but simple.
While the tri-level North Island gem — dubbed SkyView — flaunts a strikingly clean aesthetic, as Oliver Road’s listing so elegantly communicates, it’s simply a disguise for the “extraordinary complexity and meticulous craftsmanship behind its creation.”
In other words, what you see before you today is so much more than its six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 805 square metres seamlessly blending the indoor/outdoor, and extraordinary landscaping.
Completed in 2021 after a meticulous five-year construction involving Stufkens+Chambers Architects/Shaw Builders and a “precise brief,” beneath the stunning surface, you’ll find:
- a state-of-the-art home automation system w/ fixed touchscreens
- high-end climate control
- underfloor heating
- a lift connecting all levels
- a custom car wash station in the courtyard outside the garage
- as well as a patio “pool off” switch offering 30 minutes of silence at a time for when the symphony of nature will do
“What really stands out is the level of detail and amount of technology that’s in the house,” noted agent Ben Hawan from Oliver Road Luxury Real Estate (via Domain).
“Twinned with the exceptional efforts that they have gone to for none of that to be seen, and for it to have this normal feel and appearance when you’re in.”
“You won’t see gadgets or tech everywhere. It’s all very still and calm, but it’s all present behind the walls and under the floors and in the ceilings.”
Other key features of this glass and concrete-rich sanctuary include a gourmet kitchen with a sizable yet discreet scullery and all the expected high-end appliances (Wolf, Sub Zero, Miele, Liebherr); saltwater pool complemented by a waterfall, bubbles jets, motorised pool cover, internal pool cleaner, and seven-seat spa; a very necessary gym and firepit; as well as multiple living areas to lounge about and take in the serene surrounds of Oropi Hills.
Side note: beyond the sub-tropical gardens, the property neighbours a Truffière, native bush, and stream that possesses more than its fair share of custom mountain biking trails.
