King of the Hill – Trophy Lifestyle Estate

Coronation Time for the New King – this is your chance to claim the crown…

Perched proudly at the very top of Henderson Heights, this extraordinary estate is unlike anything else on the market. Set on an expansive 35,584sqm (8.8 acres) of land on the rural–urban boundary, it offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure one of the last remaining grand lifestyle holdings in this prestigious location.

Built by GJ Gardner, this single-level, high-ceiling brick and tile mansion combines scale with sophistication. Boasting 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, multiple living areas, and multiple master bedrooms with ensuite, it’s designed to accommodate large families, guests, or multi-generational living with ease. Every space has been crafted to capture the sweeping views, making you feel like the rightful King (or Queen) of the Hill.

Key Features & Benefits

• Architectural Grandeur – Single-level layout with soaring high ceilings and generous living areas for a sense of light, air, and space.

• Multi-Master Convenience – Multiple bedrooms with ensuites offer luxury, privacy, and flexibility for family or guests.

• Sun-Kissed Living – North-east facing lounge, kitchen, and master suite ensure year-round warmth, endless natural light, and soul-stirring sunrises and sunsets.

• Space for Lifestyle Pets – 3 well-proportioned paddocks, perfect for horses, sheep, alpacas, or family pets.

• Warmth Without Cost – High-density wattle trees provide abundant free firewood; John has loved heating the home for free every winter.

• Endless Playtime – A massive front yard big enough for cricket, rugby, or soccer. With a ranch-slider opening directly from the lounge, family fun is a hop away — play outside in the sun, retreat indoors when it rains.

• Prestige & Privacy – Elevated position with unrivalled privacy and presence.

• Panoramic Views – From sunrise to sunset, Auckland’s skyline unfolds before you.

• Lifestyle & Legacy – Perfectly balancing urban convenience and rural tranquility.

• Opportunity to Add Value – With 35,584sqm of prime land, explore the potential to further develop (subject to council approval) or enhance the estate with more amenities to create one of Auckland’s premier lifestyle homes.

For John and Barbara, this estate has been the setting of the best years of their lives—a place where family memories were made, laughter echoed across the lawns, and the sunrise views never lost their magic. Now, as they look to downsize, the question remains: will your family be next to write its story here?

This is more than just a home – it’s a trophy estate, a statement of success, and a legacy to pass down.

Rare. Regal. Remarkable:

Opportunities like this come once in a generation. Will you be the next King of the Hill?
