Un Sanctuaire Intemporel D'inspiration Française Sur Un Vaste Terrain

Rarely does a home strike such a perfect chord between old-world European charm and uncompromising modern Kiwi craftsmanship. Set behind private gates on two park-like acres, this French-inspired sanctuary is more than a residence; it is a legacy estate. The home unfolds with an effortless sense of scale. A grand entrance leads to the heart of the residence, a farmhouse-style kitchen rich in natural timber that flows into sun-drenched living areas. For cooler evenings, the separate lounge, anchored by a large open fireplace, offers the ultimate sanctuary for relaxation. Commissioned by its original English owners, no detail was spared in the pursuit of permanence. Constructed using the pre-insulated Firth HotBloc system and finished in a solid cement render, the home offers a level of thermal mass and ”quiet luxury” rarely found. This is a fortress of comfort meticulously designed to remain cool during Puhoi summers while radiating warmth long after the sun sets. The Highlights: Indoor-Outdoor Mastery: A sprawling alfresco deck with an automated louvre roof ensures the ”long lunch” continues regardless of the New Zealand weather. The Grounds: Over two acres of private paradise featuring mature native trees and manicured lawns. Versatile Living: A generous ground-floor master suite offers the convenience of single-level living, while the upper floor reveals an expansive ”everything room” perfect as a cinema, library or high-end home office. The Essentials: Four double bedrooms, three bathrooms (including a large ensuite), internal double garaging, a dedicated workshop and abundant storage throughout. In Puhoi, neighbours are not just people next door; they are friends you meet for a craft beer at the iconic Puhoi Pub or catch up at the General Store. Imagine your Thursday nights at the local sports club, a true community hub where children can run barefoot and safe on the grass while you unwind and socialize. It is the kind of place where life slows down the moment you turn off the main road. While shopping and bustle in Warkworth, Orewa and Silverdale are all within an easy fifteen to twenty minute commute, coming home feels like retreating to a private world of your own. The endless potential of this property has to be viewed to be realized. Call us for a private viewing appointment as soon as possible. Deadline sale: Closes on Friday seventeenth April 2026 at four o’clock PM (unless sold prior).
