Imagine waking to panoramic views across Swanson, the Waitakere Ranges and Auckland's skyline, surrounded by paddocks, native bush and outstanding income potential.
Elevated on Tunnel Hill, it combines a spacious family home, an income-producing minor dwelling, approximately 10 acres of versatile land and the remarkable infrastructure of the former Sharrows boarding facility.
Elevated Family Living
Capturing sweeping rural and city views, the main home features:
• Three extra-large double bedrooms with wardrobes
• Open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge
• Family bathroom, wet room and separate laundry
• Extensive decking and barbecue areas
• Double garage and double carport
The generous indoor and outdoor spaces are ideal for relaxed family living and entertaining.
Separate Minor Dwelling and Income
Privately positioned with its own driveway, the self-contained two-bedroom minor dwelling offers an existing income stream or accommodation for extended family, guests, staff or a caretaker. Features include private access, a heat pump, Healthy Homes certification and an existing periodic tenancy.
Ten Acres of Lifestyle Freedom
The land includes dry-stock paddocks, stockyards, native bush, a peaceful glade, valley views and a pond. There is room for grazing, horses, pets, horticulture or simply enjoying country life.
A barn, sheds, garden storage and yards provide further flexibility, with town-supply water adding convenience. This rural retreat is reported to be approximately two minutes from Waitakere Railway Station and close to Swanson's shops and amenities.
The Iconic Former Sharrows Facility
Formerly operated as Sharrows and reportedly used for Auckland Pound overflow, the extensive facilities offer an exceptional opportunity to establish or expand an animal-care business, subject to approvals and purchaser investigations.
• Approximately 70 large kennels
• Approximately 20 indoor small-dog kennels
• Additional dog rooms and dedicated small-dog building
• Secure outdoor exercise areas
• Reported capacity for up to 100 dogs
• Existing cattery facilities
• Powered kennels with water and lighting
• Cooling and filtering systems
• Reception, office and customer parking
• Staff kitchen, laundry and staffroom
• Outdoor staff toilet, shower and basin
• Storage sheds, barn and working yards
• Fire-evacuation infrastructure
• Replacement kennel-building wiring
The vendor advises that the former operation developed a substantial client database, offering the possibility of reconnecting with an established market. The land could also support horse agistment or large-animal care, subject to council requirements and consents.
Live, Earn, Operate and Grow
With family living, rental income and commercial-scale infrastructure able to remain comfortably separate, this is far more than a lifestyle block. It is an exciting opportunity to live, earn and build your future from one breathtaking Waitakere Foothills address.
