Enter through electric gates and follow the tree-lined driveway as it winds its way through substantial, manor-like grounds. Set across 2.468 hectares, this private and luxurious estate sits proudly in an elevated position, offering a true sense of arrival and complete seclusion.
Step inside and the tone is set immediately. A sweeping staircase delivers that grand first impression, balanced by the warmth of rimu floors underfoot and a home that feels as comfortable as it is impressive.
Multiple formal and informal living areas give you space to spread out or come together with ease. Host large dinners, celebrate special occasions, or enjoy quieter moments with family, each zone connecting effortlessly to expansive decking and outdoor living, creating a natural flow for both everyday living and larger gatherings.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen brings everyone together. A granite island bench anchors the space, designed for connection as much as function, where conversation flows easily and the home naturally centres around shared moments.
Carefully selected crystal lighting throughout adds another layer of elegance, while the combination of brick and cedar construction speaks to both quality and timeless appeal.
Upstairs, the primary suite sits alongside two additional bedrooms. Filled with natural light and overlooking rolling grasslands and paddocks, this level offers a peaceful retreat, elevated, private and perfectly suited for rest at the end of the day.
A separate wing provides excellent flexibility for extended family or long-stay guests, offering separation and privacy without compromise. Above the garage, a fully separated private wing with its own bedroom and bathroom offers a quiet, independent space, ideal for extended family, guests, or working from home.
Adding to the appeal, the property currently generates income through four tiny homes, professionally managed under 'Tinier Way Limited', offering guests a sought-after rural Airbnb retreat. Buyers may wish to continue this established setup and enjoy the additional income stream.
Triple car garaging with workshop, extensive off-street parking and ample storage round out the practical side of the home, with space for multiple vehicles, guests, or recreational use.
The grounds themselves are something special. A thoughtful mix of native bush and open, usable land creates space to enjoy now, with room for future additions such as a pool, gardens, or further enhancement of the estate.
All of this, just 20 minutes from Albany, yet it feels a world away. Private, substantial and designed for both connection and retreat, this is a property that delivers on lifestyle, presence and long-term flexibility.
