Bonanza

Prepare to be genuinely impressed.

What began as a classic three‑bedroom, brick‑and‑tile Kiwi home, positioned proudly on five acres of high, dry, sought‑after Kumeu land… has evolved into an estate of remarkable scale, comfort, and versatility.

Purchased in 2017, the original residence didn’t simply receive a refresh. It underwent a complete reinvention. Modernised throughout, double‑glazed, re‑wired, re‑lined, and thoughtfully rebuilt, the home now delivers contemporary style and future‑focused living while retaining its rural soul. Even the original garage was not overlooked.

Then came the masterstroke: a consented five‑bay shed, initially envisioned for work–life balance, ultimately transformed into something far more extraordinary.

Today, that expansive structure stands as the epitome of luxury, featuring a lean to, generous decking, and landscaped grounds. It’s an exceptional solution for large families, multi‑generational living, or those seeking space for extended relatives, an increasingly important priority for many modern and multi‑cultural households. Whilst these conversions have been made without Council Approval, come and visit the property yourself to admire the quality craftsmanship and high-end fixtures which are on offer here.

Additional features include a two-bay workshop complete with hoist, registered water bore, a two‑bay carport, well‑fenced paddocks, and a serene country outlook that captures the essence of Kumeu living.

The scale, the craftsmanship, the possibilities, this is a property that must be experienced in person.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen features stone benchtops, quality appliances, excellent storage, and a large central island that anchors the space and encourages connection. Flowing seamlessly from here, the dining area enjoys an elevated scenic outlook and opens to the balcony, while the generous living space boasts French doors leading to a sun-soaked, partially covered deck that extends your living outdoors.

On the bedroom wing, a second large living space, with access onto the deck, provides valuable versatility for families and guests. A well-appointed primary suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while four additional double bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, and there's a smart family bathroom with both bath and shower. A stylish separate laundry, along with ducted air-conditioning throughout, a solar system, and new hot water cylinder, all add to the comfort and convenience on offer.

An oasis for family life, the expansive entertaining deck captures an abundance of sun and sits alongside the refreshing swimming pool - ready for endless summer fun! There's ample flat lawn for games, and children will love the playhouse, while a single garage with workshop, double carport, great off-street driveway parking, and secure entrance gates deliver practical living. A sheltered valley below, with a variety of mature trees and native plantings, creates a serene backdrop, attracting abundant birdlife, enhancing privacy, and providing a naturally low-maintenance landscape.

The convenient location ensures family life is kept simple - it's just minutes to great schooling, shops, and eateries, as well as to nearby parks and nature walks. Ready to enjoy the day you move in, this inviting lifestyle package offers modern living, rural ambience, and lifestyle potential in equal measure.
