Lifestyle, income, and timeless character

Welcome to Huntly House - An iconic historic Victorian-style villa that perfectly combines lifestyle living with a rewarding income stream. Set on approximately 8.95ha (more or less) of gently contoured land overlooking the Manukau Harbour, this grand 1911 homestead is one of Clarks Beach's most admired properties.

Lovingly restored to highlight its original architectural charm, the home features soaring timber ceilings, polished native floors, intricate detailing, and ornate archways, creating a warm yet refined atmosphere throughout. Generous living areas, multiple dining spaces, and country-style kitchens provide the perfect setting for family life or entertaining guests.

Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms open onto wraparound verandas, capturing sweeping views across the surrounding paddocks, gardens, and the Manukau Harbour. Currently operating as boutique accommodation, Huntly House includes two self-contained guest suites that generate a consistent income while maintaining privacy for the owners.
