Auction: 177 King Street, Pukekohe (Branch Office) on Thursday 26 February 2026 at 2:00PM (unless sold prior)

With the sellers’ decision made and firm future plans in place, this home will be sold.

Striking in both form and function, this two-year-young residence delivers a rare blend of modern, simple architectural style, flexible living, and an unforgettable rural outlook. The dramatic sleek black exterior is softened by warm timber features, while the semi-industrial interior, polished concrete floors, and elegant finishes throughout enhance the clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Spanning over single level living, the home has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate families, extended living, au-pair or nanny arrangements, and work-from-home flexibility. A gorgeous fully self-contained flat provides additional independence within the one roofline. The property offers a total of five well-proportioned bedrooms and a dedicated office, including a master suite with an elegant tiled walk-in shower and a family bathroom offering both bath and shower.The fifth bedroom forms part of the flat, which is completely self-sufficient and can be closed off from the main home. It features a mini version of the main home with spacious open-plan living, a wood-burning fire, full kitchen, stylish bathroom, a roomy bedroom with walk-in robe, and its own exterior access.

At the heart of the main home, the kitchen and dining space is made for connection, with funky booth-style seating encouraging interactive cooking, dining, and entertaining, statement pendant lighting, and a layout built for everyday living. This flows seamlessly into a cosy living space with a wood fire, perfect for relaxed family life.

Outside, space is in abundance, set on 1.27ha (approx 3 acres of land), step onto lush lawns and enjoy room for kids and pets to play—or imagine a pool complex here (subject to council approval). This property offers endless lifestyle possibilities. There’s ample room for a calf club, pets, plant an orchard, vegetable gardens and create your own private retreat.

A standout feature is the impressive 110sqm pole shed, seamlessly connected via a breezeway and offering exceptional space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a man cave. Generous off-street parking comfortably accommodates boats, campervans, trailers, and multiple vehicles—ideal for those with hobbies, tools, or a busy household.

Completing the picture are the majestic vistas over the Whangamarino Wetlands, spanning more than 7,000 hectares and home to rare plant life, native birds, and wildlife—a truly special backdrop that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Set in a rural community only 7km to key arterial routes for easy access to Auckland, Hamilton and the Coromandel Peninsula Around 14km to Hampton Downs. Close enough to enjoy the amenities of Te Kauwhata, Tuakau, Mercer, Bombay and Pukekohe, yet far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle.
