Hanene Street, St Heliers – Auckland’s Most Prestigious Address

Where Architectural Brilliance Meets the Horizon

Commanding a prized north facing double block atop one of Auckland’s most exclusive clifftops, this newly reimagined architectural residence delivers a rare opportunity to own a world-class coastal sanctuary with breathtaking 270-degree views across the Waitematā Harbour, Rangitoto Island, and beyond.

Set on an expansive 1,613m² freehold site and spanning four meticulously crafted levels, this exceptional home defines modern luxury. Every detail has been considered to create an uncompromising lifestyle—seamlessly blending family comfort, resort-style entertaining, and timeless design.

Boasting five generously proportioned bedrooms and eight luxurious bathrooms, the home includes a stunning master retreat with private terrace and uninterrupted sea views. A series of beautifully appointed living spaces cater to every occasion: a formal lounge, a rooftop bar with an entire floor of panoramic viewing decks, a home cinema, and a private office provide both relaxation and productivity. An internal lift ensures easy movement across the upper three levels.

Indoor and outdoor living merge effortlessly through expansive decks oriented to capture the northerly sun and panoramic vistas. The landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully curated to include a tranquil water feature, putting green for the golf enthusiast, and a private path leading directly to Tamaki Drive—unique to this address on Hanene Street.

Modern living room with white sofa and armchairs, glass coffee table, large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a body of water and sunset sky.

The home’s lower level hosts a fully self-contained suite perfect for guests, extended family, or staff—ensuring privacy without compromise. Wine connoisseurs will appreciate the wine and whiskey cellar, while fitness lovers can easily convert existing space into a private gym. For collectors and adventurers alike, the garaging is exceptional with secure accommodation for six vehicles—including a separate street level garage on Tamaki Drive, ideal for a Sealegs or a classic car.

Moments from the shoreline, vibrant cafés, and premier schools, this is more than a residence—it’s a statement of prestige, privacy, and permanence.

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a landmark residence in the heart of Auckland’s most coveted coastal enclave: this is more than a home, it’s a legacy.

A note from the Owners

“This property was a rare opportunity — two north-facing blocks side-by-side on the cliff with its own access to Tamaki Drive, beach and Village. In a time when blocks are only getting smaller, it’s virtually unheard of to find a double site like this, particularly in one of Auckland’s most prestigious streets.

You feel a sense of peace and serenity as you wander through the home as every room has a different view of the beach and Harbour.  At times, it truly feels like you’re on a ship sailing out to sea — the views are that incredible.  

What’s really surprised us about the home now is how warm and inviting it feels, despite its size. The way the zones are designed means you can live very comfortably day to day, using only the areas you need — like the master suite, kitchen, and main living — but you also have so many spaces to entertain, whether it’s for a big gathering, family occasions, or an intimate dinner.

There are lots of big homes in Auckland but what makes this one so exceptional and unique is its purposeful, practical design, its mind blowing views and its privacy yet with easy access to the local beaches, cafes and St Heliers Village..”
