Romantic gardens set the scene for this extraordinary Remuera estate, where old-world European elegance meets the grace of one of Auckland’s most distinguished heritage homes. Designed by renowned architect Roy Binney in 1914, the residence is rich in architectural character and history. Beyond the home, manicured gardens, mature trees and sweeping lawns evoke the atmosphere of a secluded private retreat. Elegant terraces and intimate garden spaces unfold around the swimming pool, full-size tennis court and tennis house, creating an enchanting setting for long lunches, summer evenings and celebrations beneath the Auckland sky. Inside, a welcoming entrance foyer and grand ballroom are complemented by a collection of intimate living and entertaining spaces. A sophisticated kitchen, elegant bar and gin room, billiard room and dedicated wellness facilities, including a gym, spa room and Pilates studio, offer all the luxuries of a private resort. A quiet home office with its own discreet entrance and separate accommodation options provide further flexibility for family, guests and household staff. Privately positioned in prestigious Remuera, the estate feels wonderfully removed from the city while remaining close to Remuera Village, motorway connections and many of Auckland’s leading private schools. A modern romantic fairy tale within a landmark Remuera residence, this is a rare opportunity for a discerning family to become the next custodian of a home defined by romance, heritage and an exceptional way of life.
