Deceased Estate. A Remarkable Story.

Mid-Century Character, Generations in the Making

182 Redoubt Road is something increasingly difficult to find: a distinctive mid-century home, held within the same family since it was commissioned by the owner’s grandparents in the late 1950s.

Set across more than 9,000 sqm, (on two separate Titles) the property combines architectural character with extraordinary privacy, mature gardens, bush and open paddocks.

The home retains many of the features that make its era so appealing, including soaring ceilings, extensive glazing, original built-in cabinetry, generous verandas and a working fireplace. There is an authenticity here that a modern reproduction simply cannot create.

Outside, generations of careful planting have shaped more than 9,000 sq m of established grounds. Camellias and rhododendrons bring colour to the gardens, alongside citrus, persimmons, other fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Paths lead through the bush, while three paddocks and a workshop add to the property’s lifestyle appeal. Offered as a deceased estate, this rare opportunity to carry a much-loved home into its next chapter.

This is not a property that needs to be made special. It already is.

Now offered for sale as a deceased estate, 182 Redoubt Road presents its next owner with the opportunity to preserve and enhance a remarkable piece of Auckland residential history while enjoying the scale, privacy and lifestyle of more than two acres of land. Auction (on site) 22 October 12pm.

Note: Image digitally altered to illustrate a potential pool. No pool currently exists. Installation would be subject to feasibility, any required consents and buyer expense.

Those grounds are a feature in their own right, layered with natives, fruit trees, flowering cherries, rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and weeping willows, before opening into gently undulating paddocks lined by mature shelter, with three ponds adding another layer to the landscape.

Rural capability is comprehensively covered by a woolshed, stable/implement shed, five-bay garage/workshop and boat/tractor/storage shed, while stock are equally well catered for through secure fencing and dedicated cattle yards. A strong water set-up combines approximately 5,000 litres per day of council supply with around 60,000 litres of tank capacity, keeping supply well covered across the property.

Two road frontages give the property additional profile, with Cust Village sitting around five minutes away and Rangiora approximately 15 minutes away, keeping rural life well connected to everyday essentials.

With its character home, unforgettable grounds and substantial rural scale, this is country living played out on significantly greater ground.
