BREATHTAKING VICTORIAN MANSION

The epitome of grace and elegance, Kylemore is an iconic six bedroom Victorian country mansion steeped in Auckland’s history. Occupying 7.13 hectares (17.62 acres) of elevated land in the beautiful Ararimu Valley and zoned Rural Production, this 556 square metre (approx) icon began life in circa 1880 as an Auckland merchant’s home, later serving as a convent, before undergoing a significant residential relocation of exceptional scale. Meticulously restored and reimagined, it now blends historic grandeur with modern luxury, offering resort-style amenities, expansive living, and a truly unforgettable lifestyle setting.

Afforded privacy by the brick and steel gated entry and beautiful long tree-lined driveway complete with a ford crossing through landscaped gardens, this residence is a showcase of colour and décor expertise with six individually styled bedrooms,- five with ensuites, downstairs there’s also a studio and an absolutely wonderful kitchen with stone benchtops, Falcon stove, island bench and quality inclusions. Chandeliers meet subway tiling, ornate ceilings, drapes and stained glass windows blend seamlessly with Roman and roller blinds, walk-in robes and modern appliances - the flawless integration of beauty with functionality here is simply breathtaking!

There’s both elegant and chic casual dining and separate living rooms spilling outdoors to expansive decks, a games/billiard room and a study/home office. One of the bathrooms gives a whimsical nod to the past with a modern free-standing bath and chain-pull toilet while the contemporary laundry boasts super-storage. Al fresco entertaining is sophisticated on expansive scenic decks overlooking the sparkling 15m x 4.5m (approx) pool and spa and the astro turf tennis court which sits alongside. There’s freestanding triple garaging with upstairs rumpus room and bathroom, three stables plus tack room and wash down bay and 8 paddocks plus a 108 square metre (approx) three bay shed for the farm.

Steep steps take you up to the turret where you can gaze across the surrounding countryside and, for your private picnics in wonderland, there’s an enchanting lily-covered pond and jetty. An attempt to adequately describe the scale of this home, its facilities and its attributes is an impossibility in this space – suffice to say, Kylemore’s owners’ circumstances have changed, and it is now time to invite those with an appreciation for the finer things in life to inspect with a view to acquiring this unique historical gem.
