Farmhouse with garden and pool Helensville (New Zealand)

Set against the timeless backdrop of Woodhill Forest, this extraordinary estate occupies approximately 18.11 hectares of pristine countryside, offering a level of privacy, scale and tranquility seldom found within such easy reach of Auckland. Rarely does a property of this scale and calibre become available within such close proximity to Auckland's CBD. Just thirty-five minutes from the city, it feels worlds away — a private sanctuary where architecture, nature and lifestyle exist in remarkable harmony. Approached through dual gated entrances and surrounded by sweeping grounds, the residence commands an enviable position overlooking its own expansive landscape. Designed as both a grand family retreat and an exceptional entertaining venue, the home unfolds across a series of beautifully considered spaces that effortlessly balance sophistication with warmth. Accommodation is generous and thoughtfully arranged, with eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and eleven toilets providing flexibility for large families, multi-generational living or distinguished guests. Multiple living environments allow for both intimate moments and large-scale gatherings, while a collection of specialised spaces elevates the home beyond the ordinary. A dedicated multifunction room with home theatre setup, executive office suites, a substantial workshop with three-phase power and an enchanting library complete with a rolling ladder suited to business and quiet reflection. Expansive veranda wrap around the master bedroom, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out while framing views across the surrounding countryside. Architecturally, the residence draws inspiration from the organic design principles championed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the relaxed elegance of Balinese architecture. Natural materials have been carefully curated throughout, combining warm timbers, handcrafted brickwork and natural stone to create a timeless aesthetic that feels both grounded and refined. Soaring ceilings, dramatic sightlines and abundant glazing invite natural light into every corner of the home, while bespoke details, including a striking pāua shell feature, celebrate a distinctly New Zealand sense of place. Beyond its architectural beauty, the estate has been thoughtfully designed for modern living. Comprehensive security systems, remote-access surveillance and dual automated gates provide complete peace of mind, while structural provision has been made for future lift installation, ensuring the home remains adaptable for generations to come. The grounds themselves are nothing short of spectacular. Mature orchards, productive vegetable gardens and beautifully established English-style gardens create a setting of extraordinary beauty and self-sufficiency. Rolling pastureland provides ample room for equestrian pursuits or lifestyle farming, supported by utility sheds and a reliable bore-fed water supply. At the heart of the gardens, a swimming pool is framed by manicured lawns and mature plantings, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining throughout the seasons. Bordering the renowned Woodhill Forest, the estate enjoys a rare connection to nature while remaining remarkably accessible. Vast open spaces, birdsong, mature trees and uninterrupted rural vistas create an atmosphere of complete serenity seldom encountered in today's world. Situated alongside native forest, the home benefits from a continual presence of wild deer, creating a unique natural setting. Properties of this calibre are increasingly difficult to secure. Combining a substantial landholding, architectural integrity, and absolute privacy, this is an estate of genuine significance — a legacy property offering an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity for the discerning purchaser. A rare offering where scale, beauty and seclusion converge to create something truly exceptional.

Farmhouse with pool Coatesville (New Zealand)

520 sq m Residence , 6 Bedrooms , 3 kitchens , Dual Living , 1.17ha Flat Lifestyle Land The owners have permanently relocated overseas and are committed to achieving a sale, welcoming all genuine offers. This presents a compelling opportunity to secure exceptional value in Coatesville's prestigious lifestyle market. This remarkable single-level estate represents a rare opportunity to secure a near-new lifestyle property at a level increasingly difficult to replicate at today's land and construction costs. Originally built as the owners' forever family home, this substantial residence was designed and constructed without compromise, combining architectural scale, enduring brick construction, and remarkable 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 (more or less) residence has been thoughtfully designed to balance luxurious family living with long-term practicality. A defining point of difference is the rare combination of substantial single-level living, legal dual accommodation, and predominantly flat land — a lifestyle offering becoming increasingly difficult to find and even harder to recreate. The main residence comprises four generous bedrooms, multiple living areas, open-plan family and dining spaces, a dedicated media lounge, private gym, and sauna. At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen features a statement island, twin Miele ovens, premium stone surfaces, and a fully equipped butler's pantry with additional cooking facilities, seamlessly connecting to expansive covered outdoor entertaining areas. Further enhancing the property's versatility is a fully self-contained legal two-bedroom minor dwelling. Complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, open-plan living area, and independent double internal-access garage, it provides outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, live-in support, home business use, or independent living. Adding even greater functionality, the home incorporates three kitchens in total, allowing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational families, entertaining, guest accommodation, or those seeking true dual-living capability. 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, American Oak flooring, tongue-and-groove ceilings, curated feature lighting, integrated security systems, and quality finishes throughout create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Outside, the heated swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the landscaped grounds, while the predominantly flat land provides an easy-care lifestyle with significant future potential for additional improvements such as a high-stud shed, tennis court, equestrian facilities, or a private orchard. Positioned just minutes from Albany, motorway connections, 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, flexibility, and long-term practicality align. Properties of this calibre — particularly substantial single-level brick residences offering six bedrooms, legal dual living, three kitchens, and flat usable land — are becoming increasingly difficult to recreate at today's construction costs. Contact Nico Zhang from New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty for further information or to arrange your private viewing.

Farmhouse with garden and pool Coatesville (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.
