Some homes give you more bedrooms. This one gives you more ways to live.
Architecturally designed and built in 2014 for three generations of one family, 136 Pinchgut Road was created with a simple idea in mind: living together without living on top of each other.
With five bedrooms, an office offering potential as a sixth bedroom, three bathrooms and a thoughtfully designed layout, this substantial home offers something increasingly appealing: the opportunity for extended families to share one property while maintaining their own space and independence.
Whether you're accommodating ageing parents, adult children, or considering pooling resources with family to purchase together, this is a home designed to make multigenerational living work.
Room to Come Together. Space to Spread Out.
The main living area is generous, light-filled and designed for bringing everyone together. High stud ceilings enhance the sense of space, while oversized windows frame the outlook across native bush and farmland towards the Kaipara Harbour.
It's the kind of view that makes you stop when you walk through the door.
Throw open the doors and the living continues outside. The expansive deck connects with bedrooms and both lounges, creating multiple outdoor living areas where you can follow the sun, entertain family and friends, or settle in to watch the sunsets over the harbour.
A Separate Wing. A World of Possibilities.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its dedicated guest and extended-family wing.
Purpose-designed to provide greater independence, this generous area includes bedrooms, bathroom facilities, a substantial rumpus/living room and an extensive bar/utility area with a sink, cabinetry, bench space and room for a fridge.
It's a practical arrangement that allows different generations to enjoy their own living spaces while remaining connected under one roof.
Parents can have their own retreat. Adult children can enjoy more independence. Or perhaps it's space for regular guests, teenagers, hobbies or working from home.
While the property is not currently consented as a separate home and income, the layout provides considerable flexibility for extended-family living. Any proposal to establish an additional independent dwelling would be subject to the necessary council approvals.
A Lifestyle Worth Coming Home To.
Outside, approximately two-thirds of the land is protected covenanted native bush, providing a beautiful natural backdrop, privacy and an abundance of native birdlife, including tūī and kererū.
Established gardens complement the setting, while the outlook stretches across surrounding farmland towards the Kaipara Harbour.
A double garage, carport and generous off-street parking provide room for additional vehicles, the boat, campervan or trailer.
Country Living, Community Connection.
Kaukapakapa offers a welcoming rural community, with the local school, playground, store and Shed 16 close to home.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the wider area offers golf, equestrian activities, walking tracks and access to the Kaipara Harbour, all part of the lifestyle that makes this area appealing.
Designed for Five Years. Loved for Twelve.
When the owners designed this home, their plan was to bring three generations together for five years, sharing the benefits of one property while enjoying their own independence.
Twelve years later, they're finally ready to move on.
Now it's your opportunity to discover what this home could offer your family.
