Spectacular Sanctuary on Scenic

Perhaps once in a generation a home with such poise, privacy, and spectacle greets the market. Over 20 years ago our current owners discovered this iconic cedar sanctuary, positioned in 3168m2 of sculptured gardens and manicured lawns, all with spectacular views of the Manukau. It was virtually love at first sight and for good reason, this home has the unique ability to take the breath away.

The moment one passes through the gated stone entrance you know something extremely special awaits you and the immediate reward is the wow factor when the house appears through the bush framed drive. The setting is supreme but the way the residence is designed to match it sublime. Seemingly carved from the environment the cedar design embraces the native bush Eco climate. The generous use of glass really brings the outside nature into the home, picture windows offering views of the sumptuous grounds to wide harbour vistas. Indoor/outdoor living is indeed the mantra with multi point egress from living spaces onto sun drenched decks offering easy access to substantial grassed spaces.

The layout is superlative, with bedrooms spaced over three levels while the focal point remains the spacious main lounge, highlighted by cathedral ceilings and light airy spaces. Adjoining the lounge the designer kitchen sparkles, morphing function with fashion, a wondrous site for culinary creation. My favourite has to be the pink room, the secondary lounge with its bespoke décor, distinctive yet distinguished. Added extras like the mezzanine office above the three car garage and the dog grooming salon add extra dimensions to this feature packed property.

Nestled in the foothills of our fabulous Waitakere ranges this sun drenched private sanctum is less than 30 minutes' drive from the CBD yet offers peace and tranquillity experienced at an exclusive lodge in a remote location. Available for the first time in over two decades this is an extraordinary opportunity to secure a special retreat and an extra special lifestyle.
