656 Horseshoe Bush Road, Waitoki, Auckland, Nouvelle Zélande

Elevated to embrace sweeping panoramic rural views, this character-filled residence delivers an exceptional country lifestyle where timeless charm, family living and superb equestrian facilities come together across 3.72 ha.

The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, complemented by a separate formal lounge for added space and separation. The country-style kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite benchtops and a statement oak island, while native Kauri flooring and impressive 3-metre stud heights bring warmth, character and a wonderful sense of scale throughout.

Large stacking doors open effortlessly to expansive wraparound, northwest-facing decking, partially covered to create multiple outdoor living and entertaining zones. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, hosting friends or simply taking in the sunset, the panoramic countryside provides an ever-changing backdrop.

Thoughtfully designed for family living, the master suite enjoys privacy at one end of the home, complete with a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite. The three remaining bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the opposite wing, while a separate laundry with external access adds everyday practicality. A gas fireplace, heat pump and wood burner ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, established hedging beautifully frames the residence, while electric gates create a secure and impressive entrance. A freestanding double garage with sleepout, adjoining carport and generous off-street parking provide excellent flexibility for family, guests or those working from home.

Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the infrastructure already in place. The 3.72 hectares are divided into seven paddocks each with their own trough plus a pond, complemented by a 20m x 60m arena, three stables, feed room and dedicated truck or storage shed. A separate entrance to the equestrian facilities provides excellent functionality and convenience.

Private, picturesque and superbly equipped, this is a lifestyle property with genuine presence, offering character, space and an outstanding setup for those looking to embrace country living without compromise.
