luxury houses with pool for sale Havelock North, New Zealand
House with pool and garden Havelock North (New Zealand)
Some homes are bought. Others are entrusted to their next custodian. Woodcroft is one of the latter. Designed and built in 1921 by James Walter Chapman-Taylor and recognised on the Havelock North Architectural Trail, it is an important example of New Zealand Arts and Crafts architecture - but its significance becomes much easier to understand once you're inside it. More than a century later, Chapman-Taylor's hand is still everywhere. In timber that was shaped rather than manufactured. In small-framed windows capturing pieces of garden. In roughcast walls, intimate rooms and details that reveal themselves gradually rather than demanding attention. Those are things a new house cannot recreate. What Woodcroft's most recent custodians have achieved is equally important: they have preserved those qualities without requiring the next owner to live as though it were still 1921. Between 2021 and 2025, the property underwent an extensive programme of restoration, alteration and infrastructure renewal in partnership with Designgroup Stapleton Elliott. Roofs were replaced, insulation added, electrical and plumbing systems substantially renewed, windows and hardware restored, bathrooms refreshed and floor finishes replaced. The intention was never to turn Woodcroft into a museum. It was to allow it to live beautifully in its second century. Nowhere is that more apparent than the kitchen pavilion. Here the house shifts naturally from historic architecture to contemporary family life - a generous kitchen and social space where cooking, conversation and people can occupy the same room, before spilling outside into the garden. Landscape architect Shannon Bray has approached the grounds with similar restraint. Rather than one manicured garden, the 1,386m² property unfolds through a collection of outdoor spaces, with established trees and planting providing the sense that the house has always belonged exactly where it sits. The heated pool and cabana introduce a more relaxed contemporary layer, while the original brick service building has found an entirely new life as a self-contained studio apartment with independent access - useful for guests, family, older children or work. The main house provides four bedrooms, including an ensuite, while the studio adds further accommodation, bringing the property to five bedrooms overall. Its position within walking distance of four Havelock North schools and close to the village makes what could easily have been simply an important architectural property an unusually workable family home. Woodcroft will not be for everyone; nor should it be. It is for someone who notices the difference between something old and something enduring. Someone who values workmanship that cannot easily be repeated, but who also wants warmth, function and modern infrastructure. For its next owner, Woodcroft offers something increasingly scarce: The opportunity to live comfortably in a piece of New Zealand architectural history - and become part of what happens to it next.

House with pool and garden Havelock North (New Zealand)
Scale to gather. Space to retreat. There are houses designed around rooms, and houses designed around the way people actually live. At 20 Aintree Road, breakfast can be happening in one part of the house while somebody works behind a closed office door, teenagers disappear to another living room and weekend guests have somewhere that feels properly their own. Later, everyone finds their way back together - around the kitchen, outside on the terrace or beside the pool. That ease is probably the thing you notice least on a floor plan, yet it is one of this home's greatest strengths. Set privately across 1.66 hectares in an established Havelock North lifestyle location, The Enclave offers approximately 477m² of living with the scale for a full house without requiring everyone to live on top of one another. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living spaces and a separate office give different generations, guests and family members genuine separation when they want it. Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman, the predominantly concrete-block home has a reassuring solidity to it. Over the past twelve months it has also undergone a substantial programme of improvements, bringing a more current finish and feel while retaining the scale and substance that made the house compelling in the first place. New carpet and floor coverings, refreshed bathrooms, updated lighting, interior and exterior paint, new curtains and blinds and refreshed aluminium joinery have collectively changed the way the home presents and feels. Outside, the property becomes its own private environment. Established planting surrounds terraces, lawns, the saltwater infinity pool and spa. There is room for children, dogs, visitors and long lunches without feeling overlooked or contained. The pool is an obvious attraction in summer, but its greater value is as part of a property where much of family life can happen at home. Technology and infrastructure are equally well resolved, including automated irrigation, Starlink internet, Control4 audio, security systems, multiple water supplies with filtration, air conditioning, heat pumps and gas fires. The Enclave isn't simply a large house on a lifestyle block. Its luxury is having space to be together - and space not to be. Key features • Approximately 477m² residence on 1.66 hectares • Four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuites • Three living spaces providing excellent separation • Separate office • Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman • Predominantly concrete-block construction with solid plaster finish • Significant interior and exterior improvements completed over the past twelve months • Generous garaging and storage • Saltwater infinity pool and spa • Automated irrigation • Multiple water supplies with filtration • Starlink internet • Control4 audio and smart security • Heating and cooling throughout A comprehensive property information pack is available, including the LIM, building report, Certificate of Title and floor plans is available by copying this link into your browser - https://bit.ly/TheEnclave20AintreeRoad Method of Sale: By Negotiation

Contemporary house with pool and garden Napier (New Zealand)
One side of the house watches the world go by. Boats leave their berths. Paddleboarders cross the water. Light moves across the marina and the outlook changes with the weather. Turn in the other direction and you are in an entirely private world of limestone, water and tropical planting - a heated magnesium pool, spa and cabana hidden from the street and sheltered from view. That contrast is at the heart of The Quay. Completed in 2025, the 607m² residence was designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco as a contemporary coastal courtyard house. Its scale is substantial, but scale alone doesn't explain it. The architecture moves between outlook and retreat, entertaining and privacy, activity and escape. Precast concrete and structural steel give the house its permanence. Aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass shape the exterior, while inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing soften the architecture and add warmth. The principal living level sits above the marina. Kitchen, dining and living spaces take in life on the water while decks on both sides of the house allow you to follow the sun - marina on one side, pool courtyard on the other. The kitchen island will probably be where people end up, regardless of where you intended them to sit. It anchors a kitchen designed as much for people as cooking, supported by a scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Nearby, a dedicated wellness retreat means steam, cold water and recovery rituals need not involve leaving home. The main bedroom and guest suite are also positioned on this upper level. Downstairs, the house changes character again. A second full kitchen, living room and laundry allow this level to function with genuine independence for adult children, extended family, guests or live-in support. Two further bedroom suites sit alongside the gallery, entry and three-car garaging. Then there is the courtyard. French limestone paving surrounds the magnesium pool and inground spa. Tropical planting creates enclosure, an outdoor copper shower adds another layer, and the cabana - complete with copper bar and featuring a marble bar top - makes the pool area somewhere to spend from the afternoon through to late evening rather than simply somewhere to swim. An eight-person lift connects the levels, while smart technology, solar and battery storage, underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and acoustic glazing quietly take care of much of the practical work behind the scenes. The Quay gives you two very different ways of living in one remarkable place. Outward to the water. Inward to complete privacy. Key Features: 607m² residence completed in 2025 Architecture HDT design; constructed by Gemco Four bedroom suites and four bathrooms Three living areas Marina outlook Private courtyard with heated magnesium pool and inground spa Poolside cabana Main kitchen, scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar Second kitchen, living and laundry downstairs Dedicated wellness retreat with steam room and copper cold plunge showers Eight-person lift Three-car garaging and dual gated access Underfloor and ducted heating and cooling Smart-home technology Solar and battery storage Due to the calibre and value of this property, viewings will be by private appointment.
