Landbank or sub-divide - $2500000

Description

Prime real estate in New Zealand within half an hour's drive from Auckland City. This 26 hectares (64 acres), has council consent to split off two 5 hectare titles, with their own road frontages. Already deer fenced with a central race, hay barn and deer shed, the gently undulating north facing land is ideal horse or boutique stud country, there's grape-growing potential in a region known for its quality viticulture. Looking out from its hill-top position, the gracious English country-style house and garden complex is a blend of luxury features and a welcoming family home. The ground floor has a large entrance foyer leading to a variety of living spaces. The formal lounge runs the full width of the house and adjoins a raised formal dining room. Sophisticated pale timber cabinetry is built in around the wide gas fireplace. The large farmhouse-style kitchen opens to a casual dining space and sunken family room, off which is a study. All of the living areas open through a series of French doors to the north-facing decks and patio. The gardens here are an elegant blend of formal structure and lush planting with a centrepiece loggia and mature palms. The house also includes an indoor 7m x 5m heated salt water swimming pool set within a conservatory style room and with its own bathroom. The four upstairs bedrooms include a huge master with spa room, ensuite and adjoining attic store room. A separate full bathroom serves the other bedrooms, all of which have north-facing views over the rolling countryside. Above the internal access triple garage, a large games room provides a third living area. A separate one-bedroom two-storey cottage is a bonus for guests or workers. The property is on town water supply, and is just seven minutes drive to the Taupaki junction on SH16, and another seven minutes to the Westgate shopping complex. The country town of Kumeu and the various vineyards and recreational areas are also a short drive away. This farmlet is not only a perfectly balanced country lifestyle but smart buying with future potential.
