+22You can build a home, but landscapes like this take decades to create. Mature trees, sweeping lawns, picturesque gardens and a meandering tree-lined driveway combine to create an arrival that immediately captures the imagination.
Inspired by travels through Europe and affectionately known as La Maison — French for “The House” — this substantial concrete block manor draws influence from both French and Italian country estates. Recently refurbished throughout, with newly double glazed windows on the lower level, it offers timeless character with the comfort and convenience of modern living.
A grand entrance hall with a soaring seven-metre stud sets the tone, while a striking wrought iron staircase leads to the upper level. The primary suite is a true retreat, entered through double doors and complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe, beautifully appointed ensuite and breathtaking views across the grounds.
At the heart of the home, the country-style kitchen features a charming bi-fold servery window, a well-equipped scullery and seamless connection to the everyday living and dining areas. A separate formal lounge and dining room provide additional entertaining spaces, all opening effortlessly to a collection of enchanting courtyards and garden settings.
The inviting fireplace and underfloor heating offer multiple heating options and thoughtful practicalities including a separate laundry and internal-access double garage ensure comfort year-round. A dedicated guest wing enjoys excellent indoor outdoor flow, while the separate office opens to its own courtyard, ideal for those working from home.
Separate from the main residence, the one-bedroom minor dwelling offers excellent flexibility, featuring open plan living and a versatile additional space suitable as a home office, nursery or dressing room. Whether accommodating extended family, guests or generating supplementary income, it provides valuable options for modern living.
Beyond the home, the grounds are nothing short of magical. An olive grove, raised vegetable gardens, giant chessboard and tranquil pond are woven throughout the landscape, creating a setting that feels both established and utterly serene.
Now awaiting its next custodians, La Maison offers a lifestyle rarely found in Auckland. Positioned on a quiet, leafy avenue surrounded by quality homes, it evokes the charm and romance of the European countryside while remaining just 15 minutes from Albany Westfield, motorway access and leading schools including Kristin School and Pinehurst School.
Nearby lifestyle destinations include Coatesville, Okura and Albany.
