luxury farmhouses for sale Kaukapakapa, 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, creating a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking exceptional value in Coatesville's premium lifestyle market. This exceptional 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 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.

182 Ha Within Auckland's Waitākere Foothills International Tender Some opportunities are measured by size. Others are measured by scarcity. Very few are defined by both. Positioned within Auckland's Waitākere foothills, Gregory Road, Caton Road and 121 Mount Albion Rise comprise approximately 182 Ha of rolling terrain, regenerating forest, extensive covenanted native bush and natural watercourses, only 30 minutes from Auckland CBD during off-peak travel times. It is a rare combination of scale, privacy and accessibility. A property where the landscape feels a world away from the city, yet remains remarkably connected to it. Historically shaped by forestry and quarrying activity, the land today presents as a diverse and evolving environment. Established tracks traverse the property, native vegetation continues to regenerate, and substantial areas of protected bushland contribute to a setting that is both visually impressive and ecologically significant. The appeal of the property extends beyond its physical scale. This is a landholding that invites vision. For some, it may represent a private estate of exceptional proportions. For others, a strategic long-term holding positioned within Auckland's expanding north-western corridor. Equally, its natural character, accessibility and scale may appeal to those seeking opportunities aligned with conservation, recreation, tourism, wellness or future landscape-led development. Importantly, the property does not dictate a single future. Its strength lies in the breadth of possibilities it presents. An approved framework provides further insight into the land's potential, embracing a low-density approach that recognises and protects the natural qualities that make the property unique. Native revegetation, ecological enhancement and significant retained landscape areas form part of a vision that seeks to work with the land rather than against it. A comfortable minor dwelling currently provides practical on-site accommodation and may serve as a manager's residence, operational base or holding asset for future ownership. Beyond the property itself, the surrounding environment continues to add value. Taupaki, Westgate and key transport connections remain within easy reach, while the renowned west coast beaches of Piha and Bethells, together with the wider Waitākere landscape, reinforce the area's enduring appeal. Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to replicate. Large landholdings still exist. Landholdings of this scale, with this level of accessibility, natural character and future optionality, rarely come to market. Whether viewed as a legacy asset, a long-term investment, a place of retreat or a canvas for future vision, this is a property that rewards imagination and patience in equal measure. For those seeking something genuinely uncommon, Gregory Road, Caton Road and 121 Mount Albion Rise represent one of Auckland's most significant landholding opportunities.
