Steeped in history and rich in presence, this remarkable late 1800s kauri home stands as one of those properties that rarely become available. Built in an era where craftsmanship mattered, it carries the scale, detailing, and proportions that character lovers search for but seldom find.
From the moment you step inside, the sense of grandeur is unmistakable. Soaring stud heights, expansive rooms, and timeless architectural features create a home with substance and authenticity. Generous living areas provide space to gather, celebrate, and entertain, while the traditional wrap around veranda offers a place to sit back and appreciate the setting.
Having housed a large family of seven children and more recently home stays the home now presents a genuine opportunity for its next chapter. It has been treasured, lived in, and cared for over time, and there is clear scope here to enhance, restore, and add significant value. For those with vision, the foundations are exceptional and the rewards could be considerable.
With multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, the layout easily accommodates extended family living, guest accommodation, or creative reconfiguration. The kitchen and living zones offer a practical base from which to further modernise while retaining the character that makes homes of this era so special.
Adding further flexibility is a separate two bedroom cottage, self contained and privately positioned. Ideal for extended family, supplementary income, or independent living arrangements, it complements the main home without compromising space.
Set within established grounds, this is a property with scale, history, and rare potential. Our owner is ready to simplify their lifestyle and pass this landmark home to its next custodian. Opportunities like this are scarce. Inspect and explore what you could create here.
