About the Property

A LEGACY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND NATURE
For the first time in over a quarter of a century, this cherished estate is offered to the market. This isn’t just a home; it is a two-hectare labour of love, meticulously developed by its builder-owner over twenty-six years to create a lifestyle that balances architectural integrity with the raw beauty of the local landscape.

A LEGACY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND NATURE
For the first time in over a quarter of a century, this cherished estate is offered to the market. This isn’t just a home; it is a two-hectare labour of love, meticulously developed by its builder-owner over twenty-six years to create a lifestyle that balances architectural integrity with the raw beauty of the local landscape.

THE MAIN RESIDENCE: A BUILDER’S OWN
Designed with volume and light in mind, the primary home is a testament to quality. High-stud ceilings create an immediate sense of spaciousness, while the layout is perfectly tuned for the modern professional family.

• Versatile Living: Comprising four to five generous bedrooms complemented by dedicated office/study spaces, offering the ultimate flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits, or a growing family.

• The Heart of the Home: Light-filled living areas flow seamlessly to expansive decking, positioned perfectly to capture some of the most breathtaking sunsets in Auckland.

THE GROUNDS: A PRIVATE ECOSYSTEM
Follow the picturesque driveway to discover a hidden gem. The centrepiece is a stunning forty-metre handmade rock wall, supporting a delightful garden designed by the renowned Judy Laity, displaying an array of colour for many months of the year.

• Nature at your Door: Share your morning coffee with the resident hawk, rosellas, quail, and wood pigeons.

• The Land: Beyond the vegetable gardens and pond lies two point five acres of covenanted bush—a magical playground for children to explore and create lifelong memories of outdoor adventure.

• The Locals: The property includes well-fenced paddocks, currently home to two very friendly resident sheep who could stay on and welcome the new owners.

THE SECONDARY DWELLING: QUALITY & INCOME
Located down its own private driveway, the eighty-square-metre secondary dwelling (completed in 2020) defies the standard definition of a minor unit.

• Premium Living: Featuring three bedrooms and a tasteful, modern build with its own large garden, covered parking, and private decked entertaining area.

• Immediate Return: The dwelling is currently rented to tenants who are keen to stay on, providing an effortless transition for those looking for bonus income or an investment head-start.

YOUR NEW START IN PARADISE
Rarely do we see a property that offers such a profound sense of ”home” alongside such practical versatility. If you are looking to escape the ordinary and secure a foothold in one of the region’s most serene pockets, this is your opportunity.

Key Features:

• Two point zero hectares of pristine land (including two point five acres covenanted bush)

• Main Home: four to five bedrooms | Office/Study | High Stud | Indoor-Outdoor Flow
