HORSES FOR COURSES - AND MUCH MORE BESIDES

If you long for the good life without leaving the city behind completely, this high-quality property set on a generous 3.5920 ha (approx. 8.9 acres), in a quiet no-exit street is easily reached via the much-improved North Western motorway system.
Recently renovated to a very high standard, with tasteful décor, it offers three bedrooms on the upper level, including the master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
A smart new kitchen with quality Smeg appliances and lots of bench space is an entertainer's dream. The combined living, dining and family space is huge and bright and there's a separate laundry, as well as a breakfast nook. The wraparound porch can be accessed through French doors, and enjoys all day sunshine.
Downstairs is another large area currently being used as a home office and gym. There's lots of potential for other uses and it could suit an extended family situation as a fourth bedroom and third living area, or be utilised as a teenage retreat.
Outside, the attractive park-like grounds have well-established trees, neat box hedging and a beautiful lily pond. There's a swimming pool and an attractive outdoor dining room complete with fireplace.
A recently completed barn complex, built by high-spec stable specialists Harrison Lane, has gas heated water on tap for washing horses down and a separate round barn offers storage space for hay, farm equipment and bikes, with a mezzanine floor and large workshop area.
Properties of this standard rarely come to market and with the hard work already done, you can simply bring your horses, move in, and enjoy all the benefits.
There are high-decile schools nearby and Kumeu itself is just a 10-minute drive away while Westgate and its many shops and services is also within easy reach. You're not far from Muriwai Beach, Woodhill Forest Equestrian Park and Woodhill Sands Equestrian Centre.
Act today and book your place for Christmas lunch or dinner on the terrace here at your own private paradise. They don't come better than this.
