Where Nature Meets Thoughtful Luxury

Set across 17 hectares of untouched land, this isn’t just a home—it’s a peaceful, luxurious lifestyle that goes far beyond the ordinary.

You’ll find nine beautifully laid-out paddocks, framed by 2 acres of towering pine trees on either side of the house. Whether you’re out for a walk or watching your animals enjoy the space, the surroundings offer a calming, picture-perfect backdrop. There’s also an acre of nut trees, adding charm and a great natural space for pets and wildlife.

Privacy is a given here. The home is tucked away, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the wind, birds, and waves in the distance. With no neighbouring houses in sight, it’s just you and nature.

Wild deer often wander through the property, adding a magical, untamed touch to everyday life—whether they’re sheltering under the pines or grazing in the paddocks.

One of the standout features is the sweeping 270-degree sea view. Every sunset feels like a private show, and on clear nights, stargazing is simply unforgettable. It’s the kind of view you rarely find this close to Auckland City.

Getting to the beach is easy too. Thanks to a right of way easement, you can walk or ride horses straight there. In just 15 minutes, you’ll find yourself at Karioitahi Beach or by the mouth of the Waikato River—perfect for enjoying the coast at your own pace.

The home itself was built with serious care and craftsmanship—designed by the late Richard Mercer and constructed by the team behind Auckland’s Sky Tower foundations. Solid and stylish, it covers 435 square meters and includes four spacious bedrooms with large wardrobes. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in loads of natural light and keep the view front and center.

Inside, modern upgrades bring a fresh touch: natural stone epoxy flake floors, electronic blinds, and classic herringbone timber flooring. The 20-foot windows in the main lounge are a real showstopper, paired with bold concrete pillars and a stylish mezzanine.

The current owners are saying goodbye to a home full of love and memories, ready to hand it over to someone who’ll appreciate its charm and calm. This is more than a house—it’s a sanctuary, a place to truly live, surrounded by nature and beauty.
