luxury apartment / penthouse for sale Puhoi, New Zealand

The Grange. One of Auckland’s earliest and most distinguished grand homes, a rare legacy estate combining heritage, scale, and future opportunity. Originally built in 1865 for an official overseeing Auckland’s early development, the villa features strong American influence and original detailing. Once a landmark at 2 Epsom Avenue, it was meticulously relocated in 1990 to its current Wainui setting, now occupying nearly 54 hectares just 30 minutes from Auckland’s CBD. Coincidentally, it again sits perfectly balanced between the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean, with the lights of Auckland’s Sky Tower visible at night. Spanning approximately 632 sq m (more or less). In 2006, renowned architect Terence Hitchcock sympathetically adapted the original homestead to incorporate some modern amenities that took advantage of the north-facing rural views. Including a conservatory, kitchen and family room, together with 3 car garaging and main suite above. Throughout, the home offers high ceilings, wide verandas, sun-filled living spaces and at it's heart a graceful conservatory which frames the beginning of what are continuous expansive rural views across rolling pasture and trees. A grand tree-lined driveway and secure gated entrance lead to beautifully established gardens, originally designed by Michael Burton, with mature hedging, rose gardens, fruit trees and resident white doves creating a tranquil, romantic estate setting. The landholding offers exceptional versatility. Fertile paddocks currently graze cattle and sheep, while a productive hay paddock yields approximately 2,000 bales per summer. Significant native forest, including mature kauri, provides a haven for kererū, tūī and kākā. Equestrian facilities include a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena, stabling for six horses, tack room, wash bay and large implement sheds. Three-car garaging with accommodation above adds further flexibility. There is a separate Title for what has been developed as Lot 10. Plus three additional one-hectare sections which have been consented for subdivision. Adding further land investment potential to the Estate. Meticulously maintained and rich in provenance, The Grange stands as one of Auckland’s most compelling lifestyle and investment offerings. A true legacy estate for generations to come.

Positioned at the centre of one of Auckland’s most rapidly advancing growth corridors, this exceptional 8ha+ Future Urban holding represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial strategic landbank in the heart of Dairy Flat’s long-term expansion. Offering an unmatched combination of scale, location, and accessibility, the property stands apart as one of the only large holdings in the area with direct access from both Dairy Flat Highway and Postman Road. This truly unique point of difference significantly enhances future flexibility, usability, and long-term development appeal. Surrounded by accelerating infrastructure investment and neighbouring large-scale development activity, the property is perfectly positioned to benefit from the continued transformation of the wider Dairy Flat precinct, including its close proximity to the proposed Surf Park and surrounding growth initiatives. Opportunities of this calibre are becoming increasingly scarce as substantial landholdings continue to be absorbed by the market. Beyond the undeniable future potential, the estate delivers immediate lifestyle, equestrian, and operational value. Immaculately maintained and purpose-built for high-end equestrian use, the land features full post and rail fencing, a professional floodlit arena with mirror, extensive stabling facilities, a large float shed, upstairs office space, and a well-appointed two-bedroom flat. Two enormous working sheds provide exceptional versatility for machinery, contractors, storage, or business operations, all serviced by separate access and addressing. Privately positioned away from the working infrastructure via a tree-lined driveway, the main residence delivers a premium lifestyle retreat surrounded by established landscaping and complete privacy. Designed for both family living and entertaining, the home offers expansive living zones, a designer kitchen, an office/security room, a gym, and seamless outdoor flow to a resort-style pool and spa area. This is far more than a lifestyle property, it is a strategic investment into one of Auckland’s most tightly held and rapidly evolving Future Urban locations. With scale, dual frontage, infrastructure momentum, and multiple layers of present and future value, 55 Postman Road stands clearly above the rest of the market. *Boundary lines are indicative only.

The world’s most enduring private estates are built upon a combination of vision, stewardship, and place. Sculptureum offers the opportunity to acquire all three within one of New Zealand’s most desirable lifestyle destinations. Home to one of New Zealand’s most celebrated private art collections, an established hospitality operation, a boutique vineyard, and considerable scope for future growth, Sculptureum is an estate unlike any other in the country. Positioned on the Matakana Coast, less than one hour from Auckland, Sculptureum spans 10.19 hectares across two freehold titles. The estate is located approximately 3 kilometres from Matakana Village and its popular farmers’ market, and approximately 5 kilometres from Omaha Beach. Over the past decade, Sculptureum has become a destination of genuine national and international standing. More than 400,000 guests have experienced its galleries, sculpture gardens, vineyard, and acclaimed Rothko Restaurant, establishing a brand and visitor experience recognised throughout New Zealand and increasingly abroad. Included within the opportunity is the collection that forms the foundation of Sculptureum, creating a rare combination of cultural significance, established commercial activity, and strategic landholding within a single holding. Today, the estate operates with established hospitality infrastructure and a proven track record of attracting both domestic and international audiences. Thoughtfully designed gardens, immersive landscapes, and curated experiences have transformed the estate into a place of both beauty and purpose. Woven throughout the property, they create an environment that inspires guests and contributes to the estate’s enduring appeal. The vineyard title presents a rare opportunity to expand upon an already established destination. With elevated views towards Great Barrier Island and a significant landholding within one of New Zealand’s most desirable lifestyle regions, it provides a compelling canvas for accommodation, hospitality, residential, cultural, or philanthropic initiatives. The primary title also retains capacity for the continued enhancement of the visitor experience, hospitality offering, and gardens. Sculptureum sits at the centre of a region attracting increasing attention from entrepreneurs, private investors, family offices, and globally connected capital. The Matakana Coast continues to strengthen its position as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s premier lifestyle and leisure destinations, supported by internationally acclaimed golf experiences at Te Arai Links and Tara Iti, and a growing collection of luxury hospitality and tourism investments. Accessible by road or helicopter, and with the nearby Sandspit Marina providing access to the wider Hauraki Gulf, the estate enjoys exceptional connectivity by land, sea, and air. Multiple pathways exist, enabling future ownership to shape an outcome aligned with their ambitions, whether commercial, cultural, philanthropic, or lifestyle-led. Sculptureum represents a rare opportunity to acquire and build upon one of New Zealand’s most distinctive estates. Expressions of Interest are Invited.

First offered to the market in 50 years, 230 Riverhead Road presents a rare 4.05ha (more or less) mixed rural holding in one of Auckland’s most quietly strengthening lifestyle corridors. This is a property that combines immediate usability with clear long-term positioning, appealing to buyers who understand land scarcity, location and holding value. The existing home is solid, well maintained and entirely serviceable as-is, offering a comfortable base for family living, extended household use or a practical holding pattern while future plans are considered. While the home is not the headline value driver, it provides useful flexibility and removes the pressure of having to improve immediately. The real strength lies in the land. Gently contoured, well drained and supported by existing sheds and small vine plantings, the property offers genuine versatility. It will suit a range of uses including grazing, equestrian, horticulture or the creation of a private lifestyle estate, with the scale and layout allowing buyers to imagine both enjoyment now and options later. Positioning matters here. Neighbouring the Plan Change 100 area and near the proposed Botanic retirement village, the property sits within a broader corridor of gradual evolution. These factors should be viewed as contextual upside rather than relied upon as outcomes, but they are exactly the kind of signals sophisticated buyers will assess. Riverhead and nearby Kumeu continue to attract strong interest for their lifestyle appeal, established schooling, wineries, breweries, golf and everyday amenity. Westgate’s retail and commercial hub is within easy reach, and Auckland’s CBD remains accessible, making this a genuine option for those seeking space without sacrificing convenience. This is a property that will resonate with a wide buyer pool: families wanting a long-term foothold, land bankers seeking a strategic holding, buyers looking to add value over time, and international purchasers drawn to scale, privacy and New Zealand land ownership. Offered by Deadline Sale (unless sold prior), this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial Riverhead holding with flexibility today and considered upside for the future.
