Explore the rich history and distinctive charm of this modern family home, designed to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Inspired by the Hacienda architecture of Spain, Mexico and the American Southwest, the home combines rustic charm, substantial construction and timeless design.
With instant street appeal, there is an element of surprise behind the high walls. The home unfolds around generous outdoor living areas, providing a natural transition between indoors and out, with exceptional privacy and security.
Bathed in sunlight, the single-level three-bedroom residence opens to expansive terracing before stepping down to an oasis pool setting. In addition, a fully self-contained guest villa sits above the substantial three-car garaging, complete with a separate bedroom, bathroom and private balcony, also enjoying the expansive outlook. Previously operated as an upmarket bed and breakfast, it provides an excellent option for guests.
The main residence is predominantly solid masonry, with reinforced concrete-filled block construction. The garage and guest villa, is constructed in Hebel, providing excellent thermal efficiency and durability.
Situated on approximately one acre, the property backs directly onto a protected reserve. At the centre of the outdoor living is a magnificent 10-metre swimming pool, complete with a dramatic two-metre waterfall.
Further features include a built-in barbecue and refrigerator, an outdoor fire pit designed to convert into an additional barbecue, multiple entertaining terraces and conservation areas, a dedicated wine cellar and private sauna.
Renowned west coast beaches including Piha, Karekare and Whatipū are within easy reach. Also close to the city, the property is approximately 16 kilometres from Auckland CBD, Newmarket and Auckland Airport, making this peaceful coastal lifestyle remarkably convenient.
