A Landmark Remuera Estate | Heritage Elevated, Internationally Defined
CV $18,000,000 (2024)
Few homes in Auckland command the presence, provenance and architectural integrity of this distinguished Georgian estate. Recently unveiled following a meticulous designer-led transformation, this iconic residence now stands as one of Remuera’s most complete and compelling family holdings, where heritage architecture meets refined international living.
Positioned on an elevated 2,082 sqm landholding along prestigious Arney Crescent, within the coveted Double Grammar Zone, the residence spans approximately 741 sqm and delivers exceptional scale, privacy and presence. Originally conceived in the 1880s by noted architect Draffin, whose legacy includes the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the home has been masterfully reimagined by Sydney-based architect Harvey Little, introducing a polished New York sensibility to its classical framework.
Interiors are both grand in proportion and effortless in feel. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms are anchored by a master suite of exceptional calibre, complemented by two private guest or family suites, each with their own ensuite and lounge, offering flexibility for extended family or visiting guests. A separate external office with adjoining bathroom provides further versatility, ideal as a professional workspace or additional accommodation.
Original architectural features have been preserved and elevated, with soaring ceilings, intricate plasterwork and a sweeping staircase forming a dramatic foundation. These are balanced by a contemporary palette of crisp whites, warm timbers and refined brass detailing, creating a home that is both timeless and distinctly current.
Multiple living zones cater to both formal entertaining and relaxed daily living, including a grand library, private gym and bespoke wine cellar. Below, a substantial underground garage provides secure accommodation for four or more vehicles.
Outdoors, the estate is framed by exquisitely curated gardens by acclaimed landscape architect Paul Bangay. Structured planting, manicured lawns and a resort-style pool terrace create a private sanctuary of rare composure, equally suited to large-scale entertaining or quiet retreat.
This is a residence of true international calibre, defined by scale, architectural significance and one of Auckland’s most prestigious addresses, offering an exceptional opportunity to secure a long-term position in New Zealand’s premier residential market.
This property may be acquired by eligible international purchasers under New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus (AIP) pathway, subject to Overseas Investment Office consent.
