luxury farmhouses with pool for sale 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.

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.
