luxury farmhouses with pool for sale Auckland, New Zealand

There are properties that are simply owned, and those that are held. Set across approximately 6.5 hectares (16 acres) within the Riverhead–Coatesville corridor, this is a private holding defined by scale, discretion, and enduring quality. Completed in 2019, the residence is constructed in solid concrete and masonry, with a material palette that favours permanence over trend. European influences are present but restrained, expressed through timber, stone, and proportion rather than ornament. The home is generous in scale, with expansive living areas, high stud ceilings, and a natural connection to the surrounding grounds. Spaces are designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings with ease, without compromising privacy. The land is established and functional. A heated pool, tennis court, and outdoor living areas are set within landscaped grounds, while equestrian facilities, including multiple paddocks, a professional stable complex, and a full-size arena, provide a complete environment for those who require it. A separate studio allows for discreet staff or guest accommodation. Positioned within easy reach of central Auckland, and in proximity to leading independent schooling including Kristin School, the property offers a level of convenience without compromising its sense of separation. Opportunities of this nature are seldom presented publicly. Contact Natalie Newton & Jesse Hooper for more details.

520 sq m Residence , 6 Bedrooms , Dual Living , 1.17ha Flat Lifestyle Land Now priced at a compelling level well below replacement value, this substantial near-new single-level estate presents one of Coatesville’s most compelling lifestyle opportunities currently available. With the overseas owners fully committed to a sale, genuine buyers are encouraged to act decisively. Originally conceived as the owners’ forever family home, the residence was crafted without compromise, combining architectural scale, enduring brick construction, and exceptional flexibility across approximately 1.17 hectares of flat, highly usable land in one of Coatesville’s most tightly held lifestyle pockets. Completed to an exceptional standard, the near-new 520 sq m residence has been thoughtfully designed to balance luxurious family living with long-term practicality. The main residence comprises four generously proportioned bedrooms, complemented by multiple living areas including open-plan family and dining spaces, a dedicated media lounge, private gym, and sauna. A fully self-contained legal two-bedroom minor dwelling further enhances the property’s versatility, offering ideal accommodation for extended family, guests, live-in support, or independent living. A defining point of difference is the home’s substantial single-level construction, a genuine rarity at this scale within Coatesville. Built predominantly in enduring brick with an emphasis on permanence, low maintenance, and ease of ownership, the residence offers the kind of solid, long-term construction increasingly difficult and expensive to replicate in today’s market. Inside, refined contemporary finishes create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. American Oak flooring, tongue-and-groove ceilings, premium stone surfaces, curated feature lighting, and integrated security systems combine to deliver a home of genuine quality and substance. At the centre of the home, the designer kitchen features a statement island, twin Miele ovens, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry with secondary cooking facilities, flowing seamlessly to expansive covered outdoor entertaining areas. Multiple light-filled living zones connect effortlessly to the heated swimming pool and landscaped grounds. The fully self-contained legal two-bedroom minor dwelling is complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, open-plan living area, and independent double internal-access garage, designed to provide complete autonomy without compromising connection to the main residence. Unlike many lifestyle properties characterised by steep or fragmented contours, this estate offers predominantly flat and highly usable land. This creates an easy-care environment for families while still allowing significant future scope for additional enhancements such as a high-stud shed, tennis court, or private orchard. Positioned only minutes from Albany, motorway access, and leading private schools including Kristin School and Pinehurst School, this is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark Coatesville holding where scale, construction quality, and long-term practicality align. Properties of this calibre — particularly substantial single-level brick residences with flexible dual-living design and flat usable land — are becoming increasingly difficult to recreate at today’s construction costs.
