A Private Architectural Sanctuary on Over 2,000sqm

Architecturally designed and beautifully positioned, this exceptional home curves gently along the edge of native bush, offering rare privacy, serenity, and a true connection with nature — all just minutes from central Auckland.

Set on an expansive 2,187sqm (approx.) freehold section, the home enjoys an elevated outlook with peaceful bush surrounds and harbour views stretching across the Manukau Harbour toward Puketutu Island. Birdsong, greenery, and space define everyday living here.

Light-Filled Living & Seamless Indoor–Outdoor Flow

At the heart of the home is a spacious, light-filled central living area that flows effortlessly to an expansive deck running the length of the house — ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation while taking in the elevated outlook.

Above, a sun-soaked mezzanine retreat, wrapped in windows, captures all-day light and offers a flexible space for work, reading, or simply enjoying the changing landscape.

The stylish kitchen is designed for easy entertaining, featuring a generous serving bench connecting to the living area. Bi-fold windows open to a fully paved courtyard with a fenced spa pool zone, creating a private, all-season outdoor entertaining space.

Flexible Layout for Families & Professionals

Accommodation is cleverly arranged across two separate wings, each with sliding doors that can be closed off — ideal for families, guests, or multigenerational living.

One wing features a double bedroom and a master suite with semi-ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and kitchenette (easily converted to a study)

The opposite wing offers another double bedroom and a generous fourth bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a study alcove.
