Country calm, city connection

Set amid beautifully landscaped grounds and rolling countryside, this impressive English Tudor–style residence delivers scale, architectural presence and timeless character in a true lifestyle setting spanning 4.05 hectares.

Its elevated position captures all-day sun and commanding views across rural landscapes to Auckland City, the Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island beyond.

Generously proportioned, the 335sqm floor plan offers refined family living across two levels. Multiple dining and living areas provide both formal and relaxed spaces, all flowing seamlessly to an expansive deck and outdoor entertaining area where the remarkable outlook can be fully appreciated.

Accommodation is located on the upper level, with four bedrooms thoughtfully separated from the living zones below. The master suite is complete with ensuite, dressing room and a private balcony that takes in the sweeping views.

The grounds unfold across a stunning multi-level setting. Established gardens, mature trees and expansive lawns frame the home before giving way to grazing paddocks and native bush, complete with a picturesque waterfall. Well-fenced paddocks, shed, race and yards support stock with ease, creating a well-rounded and functional country lifestyle.

A quality lifestyle is assured with the convenience of urban access. Whitford and Clevedon villages are close by, with golf courses and local markets nearby, while Pine Harbour Marina and Botany Town Centre are just a short drive away.

Held by the same family for thirty years, this much-loved property is now ready to be passed on to new owners to enjoy the space, serenity and enduring comforts of country living.
