## Resource

A luxury Waiheke Island home, once priced at $12.8 million and languishing on the market for 18 months, finally sold for over $10 million — a sweet victory for owners ready to chase their next dream: sailing. The buyer, a Kiwi expat living in the U.S. for 30 years, chose the island to reconnect with family, drawn to its stunning views, art gallery, guest studio, and caretaker’s cottage—all nestled on an acre of land overlooking the ferry terminal. While international buyers from America, Korea, Germany, and France showed strong interest, finalizing such a high-stakes deal demands precision and patience. This sale reflects a broader trend: Waiheke’s luxury market remains hot, even as top-tier transactions slow down, proving the island’s enduring magnetism for elite buyers seeking both beauty and belonging.
