The huge 412m2 home has a heated swimming pool, garaging for a 7-metre long boat and a master bedroom that takes up the entire second level.
Omaha is fast becoming the playground for Auckland’s super-rich, willing to part with mind-boggling sums for high-end beach houses.Di Balich, from Precision Real Estate, is currently marketing 114 Mangatawhiri Road, a 412m2 behemoth mega-pad with all the trimmings.
The swimming pool is kept at a constant 33 degrees, and chandeliers, solid marble bench tops, and European appliances are just a few of the luxurious features. Di says Aucklanders are increasingly buying homes in Omaha that are superior to their city houses.
“They’ve had enough of draughty villas and want new homes that have been well designed and built,” Di says.
Bare sections are becoming increasingly scarce with most now reaching seven figures. Di currently has nine listings in Omaha and plenty of buyers at the lower end of the market, which she describes as being around the $1.5 million mark. Over the last four years there has been a marked increase in permanent residents.
“People are realising what this area has to offer. Many are downsizing to inner city apartments and buying a large home here.”
The Mangatawhiri Road house has the entire top storey set aside for a huge master bedroom with ocean views. Di says the current owner will be staying in Omaha and moving closer to the beach, but will miss the Mangatawhiri mansion.
“It’s very understated from the outside, but inside it’s spectacular. This house is very much Versace meets rock star.”
Soaking up the sea views, designer chic and rock star lifestyle at 114 Mangatawhiri Road will set you back just under $3 million.
