There is a particular kind of freedom that comes from knowing Auckland is close, but feeling as though it could not matter less. Coatesville delivers that feeling every single day. Within easy reach of the city, yet wrapped in the kind of quiet that city life spends years trying to manufacture, this is a community that moves at its own pace, and makes no apologies for it. Sunday mornings here mean the Coatesville Farmers Market, a much loved local tradition centred around the Old Settlers Hall, where neighbours become familiar faces over good coffee, fresh produce, homemade pastries, and handcrafted goods. The Black Cottage Cafe is just down the road for the mornings you want someone else to do the work. The birdsong is always free. This is a community built around land, light, and a genuine sense of belonging. Horses graze on neighbouring properties. Gardens grow with purpose. People know your name. And when you do want the city, it is there, a straightforward drive away, ready when you need it and easy to leave behind when you do not. 51 Screen Road sits at the heart of all of this. Behind electric gates on one of Coatesville's most quietly coveted lanes, the home itself is a fully renovated single-level sanctuary on just over a hectare of beautifully landscaped land. Every season reveals something new here. Spring blossom. Long summer afternoons on the covered terrace. Autumn light through the canopy. Winter evenings drawn in around the feature brick fireplace, with the orchard resting quietly at the boundary. Inside, the renovation is complete and considered. Vaulted ceilings with white-painted exposed beams. A kitchen built around arched brick alcoves, stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, and a mosaic splashback. A living room that opens entirely to the outside world. A master bedroom that wakes with the sun. Four bedrooms, a dedicated study, two beautifully finished bathrooms, and four-car garaging, all on one level, all effortless. For those ready to stop acquiring and simply start living, this is where that life begins.
