Auckland's Best Kept Secret

A hidden sanctuary. Native birdsong. Sweeping harbour views. And central Auckland just minutes away.

Tucked away in one of Hillsborough's most tightly held and exclusive pockets, 6 Captains Retreat is a truly special address - a place known by locals who understand just how rare it is to find this level of privacy, natural beauty and outlook so close to the city. Surrounded by native bush and filled with birdsong, this 266sqm freehold cedar-clad home feels like a complete escape from the everyday. Yet its central location means you can enjoy the best of both worlds - the peace and privacy of a bush retreat, with Auckland's amenities, transport links, shops, supermarkets and excellent school zones all within easy reach.

Set down a private road, the home is elevated amongst established greenery with extensive views across the Manukau Harbour. Generous decks and expansive windows make the most of the outlook, creating a wonderful connection between the home, garden and surrounding landscape. Upstairs, open-plan living and a modern kitchen provide an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining, with the harbour stretching out beyond. Two double bedrooms, an office, main bathroom and generous master bedroom with ensuite complete this level, with beautiful views from the key living spaces and bedrooms.

Downstairs offers exceptional flexibility, with another double bedroom and a large rumpus room that could work equally well as a fifth bedroom, second living area, home office or teenagers' retreat. A separate toilet, internal-access double garage, workshop and generous storage add practicality. Outside is where the sanctuary truly comes to life. Established gardens blend naturally into the native bush setting, while the decks provide the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, afternoon sunshine or evening drinks as the harbour changes with the light.

And when you want to venture beyond your own private retreat, the nearby coastal walkway offers another taste of what makes this pocket so special. Wander through the bush, listen to the birdsong, take in the panoramic harbour views or try your luck fishing - it is a remarkable piece of Auckland that feels a world away. With sunshine, a large heat pump and gas fire, the home is designed for comfortable year-round living.

This is the kind of place you come home to and instantly exhale. Auckland's best kept secret, a private sanctuary surrounded by nature and harbour views - yet remarkably close to everything you need.

DEADLINE SALE - unless sold prior. Bring your offer and discover the escape that could be yours at 6 Captains Retreat.
