Historic homestead invites future family
Woodhill comes to the market for the first time since 1989 offering the unique opportunity to acquire one of Tauranga's rare architectural treasures, superbly sited in a prime central suburb, an easy walk to the water.
Woodhill is listed as a Category 2 historic place for the significance of its heritage. The Tauranga Historical Society notes, "Woodhill in Grange Road is the second house built on his farm for Henry Stainforth Brabant (the first being Mangawhare). Fitzgibbon Louch, an Irish architect and Katikati settler, designed the 'domestic Gothic' style house and David Lundon built it in 1885. Kauri logs from the Coromandel were milled on the site. The whole building is clad with timber weatherboards and has a corrugated iron roof."
The society notes that "The house held an imposing position on a ridge looking across the Waikareao Estuary to what was then the small town of Tauranga."
Tauranga is now a large city and Woodhill now stands not on a farm but on over half an acre (2,271 sqm more or less) of relative seclusion from neighbouring properties.
The well maintained home still retains its original features, like timber wainscotting, the kauri panelled ceiling of an exceptionally high stud, an elaborate splayed bay window and verandah fretwork. The graciously versatile interior spans reception rooms and bedrooms which offer scope for reconfiguration for family life; the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from an upgrade befitting the style of the dwelling. A magnificent master suite could be created from a suite of rooms.
Woodhill is both a home of historical value and a warm and inviting residence that could embrace a family with foresight and the desire to capitalise on its unique character to create a contemporary lifestyle that can deliver pleasure now and for generations to come.

Building trust of those I work for and establishing good relationships is a key objective for me.
I was awarded “Rookie of the Year” in 2012 after my first full year in the Real Estate business, which I followed up with being named in the “100 Club” in 2013, 2014 and 2015, “200 Club” in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and Rothbury Referrer of the Year in 2016. I am working hard to improve on these results year by year.
I grew up and attended Otumoetai College in my teenage years and have resided in Tauranga since then with the exception of a few brief periods exploring the world. I spent some time as a semi-professional cricketer in Worcester England in the late eighties and was a professional rugby coach in Lisbon, Portugal from 2008 to 2010.
Building the trust of those I work for and establishing good relationships is a key objective for me. Living up to the mantra, "Clients for life" you can expect a high level of communication and commitment to get your desired results with me "Finding your Property Solutions". My family have a notable history in Tauranga which can be traced back for at least 80 years which has helped me gain a great network, both friends and family who have helped me along the way to becoming a successful realtor. I have a vast knowledge of the greater Tauranga area and guarantee that people buying or selling property can rely on my abilities to give them what they are seeking.
Luckily I am not alone in my goals and my wife Leeann has joined me, so as Team Sandlant we would love to assist you. We are also hugely supported by our three children; Savannah, Luke & Brianna. They are constant levellers behind the scenes, keeping us grounded and focused for our futures. When I'm not working my family are actively involved in leisure time activities such as camping, fishing and ball sports which dominate our family holidays allowing us to take a break every once in a while.
Please contact me if you or family members require real estate advice now or in the future.
