Hidden Sanctuary - Sun, Space & Serenity

Tucked away within 1.56 hectares of lush, semi-tropical grounds, this exceptional 263sqm brick and tile residence feels a world away from the city, yet sits within easy reach of everything Auckland has to offer.

Elevated to capture all day sun from the first light of dawn through to the final glow of sunset, the home enjoys sweeping views across Auckland and out towards the Waitemata Harbour. Private, peaceful and beautifully established, this is a property where the setting is every bit as impressive as the home itself.

Substantial in both scale and construction, the residence has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully built with suspended concrete floors, offering a reassuring sense of permanence and quality. At the heart of the home is an incredibly spacious main living area - light filled, inviting and perfectly positioned to make the most of the outlook.

The beautifully remodeled kitchen is a standout. Generous enough for multiple cooks, it offers excellent workspace and storage, all accompanied by inspiring views that make even the everyday feel special. Whether entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this is a home designed to embrace its surroundings.

Adding another dimension is the semi self-contained lower level, complete with a fourth bedroom, ensuite, kitchenette and laundry facilities. Ideal for extended family, teenagers, guests or those seeking separation and flexibility, it opens up a wealth of possibilities.

Step outside and the magic continues.

Expansive lawns unfold amongst mature trees and established subtropical planting, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion. There is space to entertain, play and explore, with a classic rope swing hanging beneath the trees and plenty of shady retreats for long summer afternoons.

Follow the secret track through the bush and discover your own tranquil glade, where a babbling stream and miniature waterfall create an enchanting escape hidden within the property.

Despite the remarkable sense of privacy, you're only around 30 minutes from Auckland's CBD (off peak), while sought after Oratia District School and Oratia Kindergarten are just a couple of minutes down the road.

Properties with this combination of land, outlook, privacy and lifestyle are incredibly difficult to replicate. Welcome to your hidden sanctuary.
