31 Aquila Drive, Whitianga, Thames-Coromandel

Grand canal front living

Introducing Casa Aquila, a distinctive Mediterranean-inspired estate, where the charm of Italian architecture meets the pristine beauty of Whitianga. Positioned grandly, this North-facing masterpiece constructed of solid concrete masonry commands an impressive double site.
Casa Aquila was meticulously designed by its visionary owners. The awe-inspiring entryway and grand entrance foyer set the stage for the finesse that unfolds throughout the residence. The ground level features an expansive kitchen, living, and dining areas that blend seamlessly. The kitchen, equipped with a 5-burner gas cooktop and generous walk-in pantry, offers breathtaking views of the canal. The primary living space unfolds into a sophisticated formal lounge, intimately connected through the warmth of a double-sided bespoke Belgian fireplace. An additional lounge, home office and bathroom complete the ground floor. Beautiful archways beckon to explore the private, enclosed portico and beyond to the meticulously manicured gardens. The terraced outdoors lead to a private 7.5m pontoon, with ample space for expansion, anchored by 48m of exclusive canal frontage. Upstairs you'll find five sumptuous bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms. The master suite is a crowning glory, bathed in sunlight, featuring a walk-in robe and a private balcony. Every detail of this home has been carefully curated, including the warmed waters that course through the underfloor heating from the solar heating system, all complementing the bespoke character of Casa Aquila. Currently operating as a boutique bed and breakfast, Casa Aquila specialises in crafting unforgettable romantic experiences, evident in the seclusion of the outdoor private hot tub. In essence, Casa Aquila is not merely a residence but a place where every sunrise and sunset is an invitation to live a life less ordinary. Offering an unparalleled opportunity to own a slice of Whitianga's finest, this estate awaits those who demand nothing less than extraordinary living.
