Deadline Sale - 1pm Wed 28 Jan 2026 (unless sold prior)

Positioned on 4.66 hectares, this lifestyle block delivers land, layout, and a modern edge, to offer an accessible step into rural Amberley.

Completed in 2013, the home carries a laid-back design and the certainty of comfort, with its sloped roofline and glazing drawing countryside views across a generous open-plan living domain.

Timber floors and a log burner centre the space, and multiple lounging zones give definition without division, while the dining area and kitchen sit in natural sequence, shifting easily to the patio as the seasons allow.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms shape a well-balanced accommodation layout, with the master featuring an ensuite with underfloor heating and outdoor access for a direct connection to the land.

Practicality is a defining feature, delivered by a separate laundry, a floor-mounted heat pump and a double internal-access garage.
Storage and working capacity extend outdoors through two three-bay sheds, including one bay which is enclosed, supported by a pair of garden sheds that broaden the property’s working capability.

The Hurunui Water Scheme provides the council water supply, which is directed into a pair of 25,000 litre tanks, while a regularly serviced septic system reinforces the property’s rural setup.

Fully fenced and divided into three paddocks, each with its own trough, the land supports grazing, small-scale farming or simply the room to step into lifestyle living at your own pace.

Conveniently positioned only minutes from Amberley’s growing township, this property promises rural scale with the kind of reach that makes lifestyle living both accessible and practical from day one.

Where heritage meets modern luxury

Originally designed in 1914 by celebrated architect Louis Hay, the residence has been transformed by only its second owner through a meticulous four-year restoration and redesign, creating a timeless home of elegance, comfort, and enduring quality. Set amid park-like grounds at the foot of the Havelock Hills, this extraordinary estate is a rare fusion of heritage architecture and modern refinement.

Discreetly positioned, the residence captures sweeping views across the Heretaunga Plains to the ocean, stretching to the distant ranges and even Mt Ruapehu, snow-clad in winter. Turning inland, the outlook embraces the Havelock Hills and Te Mata Peak, while by night the twinkling lights of Hastings and Napier create a captivating panorama.

Behind its stately façade lies a grand home of approximately 540 square metres (internal) offering five bedrooms, four living areas, and six bathrooms plus powder room. Every space is crafted with care - the materials, textures, and craftsmanship telling a story of both legacy and renewal.

Solid concrete construction with pebble roughcast exterior and newly reinforced internal walls ensure lasting strength, while earthquake strengthening and modern insulation bring peace of mind.

Inside, the interiors celebrate both the old and the new - bandsawn European oak flooring underfoot, limestone tiling from France, and bespoke joinery in smoked Finnish oak, and Italian imported marble. Heating and comfort are exceptional: a new Viessmann diesel system provides individually controlled warmth throughout, complemented by three open fireplaces, underfloor heating in bathrooms, and dual heat pumps in the pool pavilion.

The bespoke kitchen and wine bar, designed and crafted in Amsterdam, is a triumph of function and form - rich smoked oak cabinetry from Finland paired with Italian marble benchtops and Gaggenau and Wolf appliances. A large scullery with additional dishwasher and sink supports effortless entertaining, while a dedicated wine cabinet and tall wine fridge make this the ideal setting for connoisseurs and hosts alike.

The home's grand entrance hall welcomes guests with a sweeping staircase and a lift to the upper level. Multiple living areas flow beautifully from formal to relaxed - from the serene drawing room and elegant dining area, to the light-filled family room and adjoining sunroom that captures year round sunshine.

Upstairs, the primary suite commands sweeping views and opens to a covered verandah. Two luxurious en-suites and a large dressing room with custom cabinetry provide indulgent privacy. Guest suites are generous and beautifully appointed, one with its own terrace and tea station. Additional bedrooms open to covered verandahs or terrace with sweeping views, while a flexible fifth room serves as a study, TV lounge or bedroom.

Outdoors, an Italianate courtyard with open fireplace, rose-draped pergola, limestone paving, and a tranquil water feature invites gatherings and long summer evenings beneath the stars. The pool pavilion mirrors the home's design integrity with two rooms, a full bathroom, and a wooden interior sauna. The 15-metre heated swimming pool and custom spa are framed by French limestone paving - an oasis of calm and leisure, fully fenced for peace of mind.

Two original cottages complete the estate: A two-bedroom character cottage designed by William Gummer (1910) and a three-bedroom cottage, with opportunity for rejuvenation. Rolling lawns, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed irrigated gardens create a living landscape that evolves beautifully through the seasons. Fully fenced paddocks with water troughs currently have sheep grazing to control the grass.

This is more than a home - it's an estate of architectural significance, crafted for those who value history, design, and lasting quality. A truly outstanding offering, restored with vision and executed with uncompromising detail, where historic charm and modern elegance create the ultimate lifestyle.

The complete lifestyle package in Wainui

Set on 1 hectare (more or less) on the border of Waitoki and Wainui, this elevated single-level home offers the kind of lifestyle families dream about—space to breathe, room to grow, and a setting that feels a world away while still close to everything that matters.
Built by Platinum Homes and thoughtfully designed for modern living, the spacious layout is all about comfort and connection. Sunlight pours into the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, creating a warm and welcoming hub for everyday life. Large sliders open to the covered loggia where long lunches, evening BBQs, and quiet morning coffees become part of your daily rhythm, surrounded by a sweeping rural backdrop.
The kitchen is a true centrepiece—its generous island, quality appliances, gas cooking, and walk-in pantry make it ideal for entertainers and busy families alike. A second living area offers a cosy retreat, perfectly suited for movie nights or a peaceful escape.
There are four double bedrooms, including a private master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. The remaining bedrooms each feature double wardrobes and are serviced by a well-planned family bathroom designed for the rush of daily routines. Comfort is ensured year-round with a gas fireplace, two heat pumps, and a HRV system.
Practicality is taken care of with an internal-access double garage, dedicated laundry space, and a high-stud carport for the boat or campervan—ready for weekend adventures.
For those with hobbies, projects, or home-based business needs, the separate entrance to the impressive shed is a standout feature. With a 3m stud, workshop, single-stand hoist, and room to house 4–6 vehicles, it’s a dream space many buyers only wish for. Additional outbuildings and two garden sheds create endless potential.
All of this sits just a 7-minute drive from the motorway on-ramp and within zoning for respected local schools, making the location convenient.
A lifestyle of fresh air, open spaces, and family living awaits—right here in the heart of the ever-popular Waitoki and Wainui community.

Step into a special entry-level lifestyle opportunity where character, comfort and country charm intertwine seamlessly.
This refreshed bungalow has been thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated, with every update carried out in a way that’s sympathetic to the era of the home.

Inside, the home is rich with heart and soul. Polished native timber floors, over-height ceilings and classic proportions create warmth and timeless appeal. The stunning kitchen is a real centrepiece - high quality, full of storage, and finished with charming details that honour the home’s heritage, while overlooking the living spaces for easy everyday living and entertaining.
The living room includes wood burner for cosy evenings, and double door access to the generous deck - a space where the ebbs and flows of day-to-day living can easily unfold.

Double garaging adds valuable storage and practicality.
Set among other quality lifestyle properties, this location is hard to beat - approximately ten minutes to Hamilton, two minutes to highly sought-after Rukuhia Primary School, and around twenty minutes to Te Awamutu, offering the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.
Rarely does an opportunity like this present itself at this level - cute as a button, and full of potential, with scope to further personalise over time. Our owners have loved their beautiful home but have now purchased. A special offering in a tightly held lifestyle location - this is one you’ll want to experience for yourself.

Three Titles. One Extraordinary Opportunity.

Set high above the shimmering waters of Lake Ōkāreka, with the commanding presence of Mount Tarawera forming a dramatic natural backdrop, this is a landholding of rare scale, beauty and versatility.

Offered by tender on Wednesday 25 February at 3.00pm, this remarkable property spans three separate titles, delivering a combined lifestyle offering that is quite simply unmatched. One remarkable offering, or two exceptional opportunities - 171 and 191 Millar Road may be secured together or separately.

The journey begins through a stylish electric gate, followed by a picturesque 1.7 kilometre private climb, winding gently through established plantings and rolling hills. The sense of arrival is unmistakable - anticipation builds with every turn.

At the summit sits the primary residence at 191 Millar Road -a breathtaking 337 square metre, two-level home that has undergone a superb transformation, with no expense spared and every detail thoughtfully curated. The view across Lake Ōkāreka is nothing short of spectacular - expansive, elevated and ever-changing surrounded by native planting and the sound of native birdsong year round.

Cathedral timber sarked ceilings immediately draw the eye, guiding attention to the striking picture window where the lake appears to stretch endlessly below. There is a genuine sense of floating above the water.

The main living pavilion is exceptional - a grand yet welcoming space incorporating a central dining area, generous lounge, and an intimate nook overlooking the resort-style inground swimming pool and spa. This zone evokes the atmosphere of a private retreat - relaxed, luxurious and effortlessly connected to its surroundings.

The designer kitchen and scullery are beautifully appointed, perfectly laid out for both everyday living and entertaining, and equipped with all the features expected of a gourmet space - all while enjoying sweeping lake views.

The master suite is a private sanctuary, positioned separately for peace and privacy. A walk-in robe, elegant ensuite and sublime morning outlook complete this lush and restful space. The main level also incorporates two further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Upstairs, a fully self-contained wing offers outstanding flexibility - two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchenette and bathroom - ideal for extended family, guests or independent living.

Oversized internal garaging and utility garaging complete the primary dwelling, providing excellent storage and practicality.
Across this approximately 54 hectare title, 21ha of easy country is deer fenced and divided into 20 well-managed paddocks, with the balance in established native and production forestry, all thoughtfully configured to balance productive use with natural beauty.

The property is well supported by an established easy care livestock operation, currently running, 60 Red Deer breeding hinds and replacements, finishing 55 venison annually and 12 rising two-year-old steers. The grazing area and facilities could alternatively run sheep or cattle.

The second title, 171 Millar Road, hosts the much-loved “Red Barn” - an exceptional and character-rich accommodation option sleeping up to fourteen guests. A proven holiday retreat, this 9.5 hectare (more or less) title also presents Airbnb potential, offering both income and future flexibility, or a unique family home for extended family.

The third title presents a truly rare opportunity – 8,015sqm (more or less) of flat, easy bare land at Lake Ōkāreka, an increasingly scarce commodity. Whether held as a strategic landbank, lifestyle addition or future development opportunity, its value is undeniable.

This is not simply a property - it is a legacy offering. A place of scale, privacy and extraordinary outlooks, where lifestyle, land and location combine in perfect harmony.

Three titles. One vision. An opportunity that may not be repeated.

Contemporary Form, Lifestyle Freedom

Settled within Waymau Estate, this near-new residence reflects a leading level of luxury long associated with Coatesville’s lifestyle landscape.

Pavilion-style by design with a clear priority on form and finesse, the home’s modern lines introduce interiors defined by volume and natural light.

Vaulted ceilings elevate the main living spaces, oak flooring brings warmth and texture underfoot, while stone surfaces and finely tuned finishes reinforce an elevated standard of execution.

The kitchen is highly specified with double ovens and a full scullery, operating as the entertainment centre of the open-plan living space, where dining and lounge zones are cleverly divided by a double-sided gas fire.

Outdoor living is immediate, with seamless openings to a fully covered alfresco space where the pavilion form carries the architecture forward in full, creating a setting capable of hosting year-round.

The five-bedroom layout showcases flexibility in full, with one space shifting between bedroom and media room, while the master suite steps ahead, encompassing an office nook, walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite appointed with a bath and walk-in shower.

A flawlessly assigned family bathroom supports the rest of the household, while a sleek powder room steps in for guests.

Double internal-access garaging with carpet underfoot and extensive off-street parking sit within easy-care grounds and expansive lawns, with the scale and structure of the land naturally lending itself to the addition of a swimming pool, shed or minor dwelling.

Located in a contemporary corner of Coatesville, Waymau Estate sits within easy reach of Albany Westfield, motorway access, and the dining precincts of Albany and Silverdale, making this an appealing find for buyers seeking high-calibre construction in the countryside.

Desirable Location. Dual Function Living.

Offering sought after North Taieri location with substantial home and additional cottage dwelling, situated on 5.1597 hectares of peaceful rural living, - this is a genuine opportunity to create your lifestyle your way.

Central to the surrounding paddocks, the main home is striking in design and offers noticeable substance as well as its style. Built on two levels, the layout provides generous space and plenty of living options. North facing, the frequently used kitchen, dining and living room areas enjoy a particularly sunny position, with outdoor access from the dining and living areas as well. For the formal diners, there’s a second dining area and accompanying lounge area, - again generous in size and providing plenty of options for larger families or guest’s peaceful enjoyment. A bathroom, office and internal access double garage complete the lower level, as well as the very welcoming large formal entrance area.
Ascend the circular stairwell to the four double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, - master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and there’s also the third bathroom, including a spa-bath, as well as separate toilet. Heated by log burner with wetback, the home is double glazed throughout. Set amongst three decades of established garden and surrounds, the sense of quality of establishment and private rural living abounds despite its very handy proximity to urban amenities.

Complimenting the main home is the cottage, which provides a completely self-contained living space, potentially providing options for extended family or visitors. It holds a consent for ‘Visitor Accommodation’, and includes two-bedrooms, open plan living/dining, excellent kitchen area and heated by both log burner and heat pump.

Further improvements include the three-bay pole shed with power and water, five well fenced paddocks with water reticulation, sheep yards, excellent level of planted shelter and private bore water supply.

This is a unique opportunity within the dress circle of the North Taieri lifestyle living area, with quality improvements and presented to a high level. Viewing will impress.
