Coastal Sophistication

Set within the prestigious Black Rock Estate of Charteris Bay, this exceptional 0.2372-hectare section offers the perfect balance of luxury, tranquillity and manageable scale. Positioned in one of Banks Peninsula’s most desirable coastal enclaves, it captures uninterrupted, north-facing views across Lyttelton Harbour (Whakaraupo) to Quail Island (Otamahua) and the distant lights of Lyttelton — a panorama that will remain forever preserved. This is because Quail Island (Otamahua), as a protected public reserve, is managed by the Department of Conservation in partnership with Ngati Wheke (Rapaki Runanga). Its ecological and cultural importance ensures the island’s natural beauty and open landscape will remain unchanged for generations to come, guaranteeing that your outlook will stay pristine and unobstructed. Crafted stone walls, gated entry and landscaped reserves define the prestige of Black Rock Estate, while the tranquil surroundings enhance the sense of refined coastal living. A short stroll leads to the sheltered swimming waters of Hays Bay, with Diamond Harbour’s cafés and ferry only minutes away. Explore Port Hills walking trails, mountain-bike tracks and secluded bays — all within easy reach. Also nearby, the Charteris Bay Yacht Club offers a welcoming community atmosphere, a boat-launching ramp and a front-row seat to regular sailing races throughout the season — adding vibrancy and charm to your harbour views. Positioned at the end of Ohinehau Lane and bordering a native reserve, this property offers an exceptional sense of privacy, sunshine and connection to nature. Providing breathtaking harbour and island views, the elevated site also maintains a sense of peace and seclusion. The low-maintenance land size makes the property ideal for creating a luxurious retreat or permanent coastal home, combining elegance with ease of living.
