It has panoramic sea views, kilometres of native bush, a helipad, a landing strip and a private jetty.<\/p>\n The mega-estate boasts two houses.

But according to OneRoof, they are \u201cwell-known Kiwis\u201d.<\/p>\n The Sotheby\u2019s listing states the 719sq m waterfront estate offers one of the finest water connections in New Zealand.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Mediterranean-inspired masterpiece has been cherished by a single family for over 45 years and boasts a prime 2253sq m position within a private bay, granting breathtaking views across Auckland\u2019s glittering Waitemata Harbour,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n \u201cArchitecturally impressive and expansive in scale, the home seamlessly combines luxurious entertaining spaces with a peaceful retreat. Six elegantly designed bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, deliver supreme comfort and privacy. <\/p>\n \u201cThe living areas flow effortlessly on to sun-drenched terraces, where manicured gardens frame sweeping harbour vistas and the gentle rhythm of the tide provides a calming backdrop.\u201d<\/p>\n Southern Farm Collection, Otago<\/p>\n Cost: Valued around $140 million<\/p>\n Several stations on a 14,600ha Otago property<\/a> are up for grabs. And at a total value of around $140m, the buyer will be at the very top end of the market \u2013 excluding 99% of the local buying population, according to New Zealand Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Queenstown agent Russell Reddell. So even if you only have $55m in your back pocket, don\u2019t feel too bad that this might be a little out of your price range. <\/p>\n Speaking to OneRoof, Reddell said an operation this size rarely came up for sale. <\/p>\n \u201cIt takes 20 or 30 years to build something like this. You\u2019ve got to buy multiple farms, bring them together, redefine them, and so all that hard work has been done.\u201d<\/p>\n Reddell said the buyer most likely would be a wealth fund: \u201cIt\u2019s a sophisticated buyer. It\u2019s not going to be your ma and pa investor as such\u201d. Or maybe your average Lotto winner.<\/p>\n Legacy properties by the beach, Mount Maunganui<\/p>\n Cost: Three properties with a combined RV of $9.03 million<\/p>\nArtist’s impression of Winton’s Ayrburn residences.
