They did not say how much the house sold for, but the figure is believed to be between $18.5m and $24m.
‘After years of coming and going, there’s finally been a successful sale of the famous Te Rere Cove’, Graham Wall told the New Zealand Herald.
‘It’s been sold to a passport-holding New Zealander. Will they live there? We’re not quite sure but it’s a lot of money for a house if you’re not going to live there’.
