Titled the "Clifftop Retreat" by New Zealand's television series Grand Designs, this architectural Piha home is a masterclass in wholesome, coastal luxury living. It's only by the owners' newer venture and commitment that the Clifftop Retreat is now for sale. As a holiday escape or permanent family sanctuary, 81 Piha Road will be appreciated by homebuyers seeking an unparalleled build and paradisal tranquillity. Remarkably engineered and maximising the site's private position at a soaring altitude over Piha Beach; rolling sets of pipeline surf, iron-rich coastline, Lion Rock, and the Waitakere Ranges become the constant, awe-inspiring panorama digested by every bedroom and indoor/outdoor entertaining zones. With a beautiful waterfall effect of rough-sawn macrocarpa, the centralised living is bookended by the fireplace and a jet-black, gourmet kitchen boasting a hidden butler's pantry. Glass walls glide open to the spectacular alfresco scene, showcasing an in-ground infinity pool, spa, outdoor shower, and Argentinean BBQ kitchen, replete with a woodfire pizza dome and beer on tap - it's in every way an entertainer's home. There is single garaging with an office, a media lounge, a family bathroom, a powder room, and four bedrooms, including the serene master suite featuring a walk-in closet and ensuite. From black slate tiles to concrete flooring, pitch-dark framework, and native lumbers; the presence of these elected materials is a nod to a rustic-couture style, but more so a humble acknowledgement of the unique characteristics of NZ's beautiful west coast. State-of-the-art technologies ensure homely comfort and performance, including underfloor heating, bespoke lighting, built-in audio, 2-series ventilation system, and a security system; the catalogue of qualities are endless. Marked on a surfer's atlas as the place to ride; loved by locals, visited by globetrotters and day-trippers, Piha is more than a beach paradise; it's a village of diversity only 45 minutes from Auckland City.
