136 Pinchgut Road

Designed for Generations.

Some homes give you more bedrooms.
This one gives you more options.
Architecturally designed and built in 2014 for three generations of one family who wanted to live together, but not on top of each other.
With five bedrooms, an office that offers potential as a sixth bedroom, three bathrooms and a layout purpose-designed with multigenerational living in mind, this is a home that gives everyone something increasingly hard to find: their own space, under one roof.
136 Pinchgut Road was supposed to be a five-year plan.
Twelve years later, they're finally leaving.
That tells you something.
The main living area is generous, light-filled and made for bringing people together. The vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space and draws your eye straight to the spectacular outlook across native bush and farmland towards the Kaipara Harbour.
It's the kind of view that makes you stop when you walk through the door. Take a moment. Breathe. And appreciate where you get to call home.
Throw open the doors and the living continues outside.
The expansive deck creates multiple outdoor living zones and is accessible from the bedrooms and both lounges, making it an integral part of the home. Follow the sun, settle in with a cup of tea, or simply watch one of the incredible sunsets unfold over the Kaipara Harbour.
For extended family or guests, a dedicated wing creates another dimension to the home. Designed specifically for extended family, it creates a generous zone of its own with bedrooms grouped around a large rumpus/living area, bathroom facilities and a substantial bar/utility area complete with sink, extensive cabinetry, generous bench space and room for a fridge. It's a practical, multifunctional space that adds another layer of independence and flexibility to this already clever layout.
It isn't a legal home and income, but it offers something many families are searching for: the ability to live together while still having genuine separation and privacy.
Your parents get their space. You get yours.
Or perhaps it's adult children, teenagers, regular guests, working from home, hobbies, or simply a family that needs more flexibility than the average floor plan can offer.
Outside, approximately two-thirds of the land is protected covenanted native bush, creating privacy, greenery and some pretty impressive neighbours of the feathered variety, with tui, kereru and abundant native birdlife making themselves at home here.
The established gardens compliment the natural setting, while the outlook stretches across the bush and surrounding farmland towards the Kaipara Harbour. There's a double garage, carport and plenty of off-street parking for the boat, campervan, trailers and extra vehicles.
And while the setting feels wonderfully private, you're far from disconnected.
Kaukapakapa has a fabulous, friendly community with plenty close to home. Kaukapakapa School is nearby, as is the great children's playground by the hall, with local playcentres, golf, sculpture gardens and plenty more to explore. Local favourites, including the Kaukapakapa Store and Shed 16, add to the easy village lifestyle.
Beyond the village, there's a whole lifestyle to discover. The Kaipara Harbour opens up weekends on and around the water, while golfers have a choice of courses across the wider area. Equestrian enthusiasts are equally well catered for, with a strong local horse community and Kaukapakapa Pony Club nearby. Add in local reserves, walking tracks and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside, and there's plenty to explore without venturing far from home.
The original plan was simple: design and build a home where three generations of one family could live together comfortably for five years.
They stayed for twelve.
Now it's your turn.
