Create your own version of The Good Life here

With no covenants on this 10.8886ha of beautiful land, this could be just the spot you have been seeking.

It’s within reasonably easy walk (for the fit) to the beach. Simply follow along the shared pathway which has been created by the local community for walkers and cyclists (not the motorised version), so you don’t need to walk on the road.

Importantly this land has an easy north-facing aspect, is divided into paddocks and also has native bush on some boundaries.

If you have been seeking land which you can either play on or live on, then take a closer look at this.

The current owners have created a wide ‘riding laneway’ around perimeter; fenced to keep cows away, therefore allowing them to ride their horses without disrupting other stock.

There are two ponds/dams which provide water to the paddocks.

Plus plenty of places where you might picnic (or camp) while you decide what to build and where you want it (obviously you still need to comply with council rules).

Just across the road from this property there is a huge private conservation estate, on which tracks for walkers and mountain bikers have been created. Generously the owners allow the public to use their tracks, as long as respect shown for the estate and their ongoing planting program and efforts for predator and weed control.

So if you have an affinity for nature, then invest some time soon to see if you will be the lucky next owner of 1447 Cove RD.

This combination of convenience and tranquillity is almost impossible to replicate.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home is designed for sensational family living and effortless entertaining, with direct access to the pool and a Mediterranean-style alfresco courtyard complete with a beautiful outdoor fireplace. A cleverly planned separate wing offers flexibility for multi-family living, teenager's retreat, or Airbnb income.

An enormous 150sqm (approximately) barn with power, water and toilet provides the ultimate space for hobbies, storage, or a serious “boys’ toy” setup, whilst the two paddocks allow grazing, and the local Pony Club is only minutes away nearly all off-road.

With school buses passing the gate there is easy access to Kristin and Pinehurst private schools, excellent North Shore schools, Massey University and Albany Westfield. The addition of a public bus service through to the CBD, and the various community amenities at the end of the drive, makes this location is second to none.

The property is enhanced with additional features including air conditioning, UV carbon water filtration, fibre and a recently refurbished kitchen for modern, effortless living.

This property will represent incredible value in the heart of Coatesville, a rare opportunity in a location where you simply cannot overcapitalise. North-facing elevation with peace and privacy combine to create something truly special.

Lifestyle at Cable Bay

Positioned within one of Waiheke Island’s most exclusive rural addresses, this extraordinary lifestyle property is a quiet triumph of architecture, landscape and light. Winner of the 2009 Home of the Year and a 2011 NZIA Medal Finalist (Architect Prize), one of New Zealand’s most prestigious architectural awards, the residence was designed by celebrated architects David Mitchell and Julie Stout as a masterclass in sculptural form, spatial poetry and crafted simplicity. Just eight minutes from the ferry and village, it offers both architectural distinction and everyday convenience.
Set across 3.1216 hectares of private countryside, the home sits gently in the landscape, its distinctive timber forms wrapped in sliding cedar screens that choreograph light, shadow and privacy throughout the day. From the outset, the design reveals itself as both bold and understated, with a deceptive scale that makes the home feel intimate for everyday living, yet rich with spaces to explore and experience.
At its heart lies a dramatic open-plan living, dining and kitchen pavilion, beautifully grounded by warm bamboo flooring and flanked by two soaring, two-level wings. One side houses the main suite on the ground floor, while the other contains four cabin-like bedrooms above and a luminous, light-filled room to think, designed as a place of reflection and creativity. Inspired by Ryokan-style architecture, the guest suites feel private, calm and deeply connected to nature.
Handmade joinery, bold colour accents, including the vibrant yellow main bedroom, and carefully restrained materials define the interiors, creating a rhythm of moments and moods throughout the home. Every doorway, window and cedar screen is thoughtfully framed to capture native bush, changing skies and distant sea views.
Wide vistas reach toward Rangitoto Island and the Auckland skyline, while two distinct outdoor living zones offer very different experiences. One faces the water, while the other is a sheltered, private courtyard tucked behind the living pavilion. Beneath a dramatic upper room with a zig-zag skylight, a protected outdoor retreat creates an ideal space for entertaining or quiet reflection.
Outside, the home features a heated swimming pool and spa, extensive landscaped gardens, established native bush, an amphitheater, a productive orchard of fruit and nut trees, and around 55 mature olive trees, complemented by additional visitor or worker accommodation for extended family or staff.
A separate rear entrance to the upper-level guest wing allows visitors to come and go independently, preserving privacy for owners. Built by respected craftsman Ron Jackson, this exceptional home stands proudly in its landscape - a place designed to inspire slow living, creativity, gardening, and the pleasure of gathering and sharing meals.
This is a rare architectural offering where distinction, calm and substance exist in complete harmony.
