Sprawling estate with architectural flair.

Please be aware that the property is situated on Smith Road, although Google Maps may not reflect the exact location.

This is a rare and exclusive opportunity to secure a premium lifestyle estate just minutes from Waiuku township. Set on 14.8 hectares or 36.5 acres (more or less) of gently rolling pasture, this architecturally designed executive home delivers a high-end rural living experience with complete privacy, panoramic views, and an exceptional level of detail throughout.

The 320sqm (more or less) residence is positioned to capture all-day sun with full-height glass stacker doors connecting the central living spaces to multiple outdoor entertaining zones. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with a luxurious master wing featuring a spacious walk-in wardrobe, a stunning tiled ensuite with walk-in shower, and a private bath area that opens to the outside via stacker doors. Three additional bedrooms are located in the east wing, separated by an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen zone. The kitchen is a chef's dream, showcasing a five-metre stone island, gas cooktop, two ovens, including a steam oven, and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

Entertaining is effortless, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow through flush floor joinery to a covered portico, complete with motorised louvers and café blinds, built-in fireplace, and BBQ area. The expansive patio provides multiple vantage points to take in the views over the valley and rolling hills beyond.

In addition to plus-sized double internal garaging, the property includes a substantial 11m x 8m high-stud shed - ideal for storing the big boat, campervan, or creating a dedicated workshop space. The land is divided by a central stream, with a bridge providing access across. Currently leased with flexible terms, the land offers an immediate income stream for the next owner.

For those thinking ahead, there's exciting future potential to explore subdivision through the use of a conservation lot, opening up the opportunity to realise further value over time (subject to council approval). Located just five minutes from Waiuku, with complete privacy and rural charm, this is a property that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The attention to detail, design quality, and scale make it a standout offering in the current market.
