The lakehouse

An amazing opportunity to buy into the premier gated Sanctuary community at an affordable level. The vendors are moving to Orewa and their instructions are clear - they want their property sold at auction (if not before).

The Sanctuary is an established, friendly and secure community spanning almost 500 acres in total, including private sealed roads, tennis courts, a community olive grove that produces oil, a children's play hut, stunning bush walks and resident kiwi.

The man-made lake is the standout feature of the Sanctuary, and this property enjoys expansive lake frontage along its eastern and northern boundaries, with plenty of room to launch kayaks.

This home offers excellent open-plan living flowing to a north-facing patio, where you can watch the swans glide by. There are two living rooms, a large entertainer's kitchen and scullery. The master bedroom boasts an ensuite and walk-in robe, complemented by two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate laundry.

The triple garage includes garage carpet and would make a great gym or kids' play area. Of course, you can park your cars in the garage, and there is also ample off-street parking on the concrete driveway.

The flat lawns are pristine and would suit a robot lawnmower, or you can negotiate with the current owners to purchase their ride-on mower. There are also several lawn-mowing contractors who already work within the Sanctuary.

This is a gem of a property and well worth an inspection. Christine Thomas and Sarah Dyer are here to help you secure your dream home and this one should be high on your must-view list.

Auction: 12 February 2026 at 10.00am (unless sold prior)
