'Kylemore' is a magnificent country estate and equestrian property with a resplendent Victorian Manor featuring a pool, tennis court and stabling. It is sited to overlook a lake and lush rural views of the estate's 20 acres (approx) of landholding. Lovingly restored and renewed, the 8,000sqft manor brings to life the traditional features of old world grandeur with the benefits of modernization and comfort. Kylemore provides a wonderful spacious family home for someone wishing to escape the pressures of city living, alternatively it lends itself to a future as a boutique hotel or lodge. With their family having now all grown up and departed, the vendors felt it was time another family enjoyed the lifestyle this home represents. Enjoying absolute privacy, security and stunning rural views, this historic house is only 9 minutes drive to Auckland's southern motorway.
The house includes six large bedrooms, five with en-suites, a huge kitchen with an island bench and an adjacent family dining area. In addition there is a magnificent formal dining room, a billiards/games room (with a full size snooker table) and a self contained apartment for live in help, or cook/au pair accommodation. The entrance and hallway, where the grand piano resides, includes original native timber panelling and stained glass windows. A sweeping staircase leads upstairs to the second level where the library and large bedrooms are graced with wide views of the estate.
Leading from the large family living area outdoors onto a pergola covered deck is a wonderful outdoor entertaining area including a large pool & spa complex featuring a 17m pool which is heated by solar hot water heating system. The pool area has its own summer house and bathroom. Adjacent to the pool is an Astro turf tennis court.
The outbuildings include a three car garage with loft currently used for storage which can be converted and finished into a separate studio for accommodation, or as a work room, plus two loose boxes, a tack room and a wash down bay. There's also a three bay high stud implement shed with large roller doors. Water is stored in three large holding tanks two of which are partially sunk into the ground and housed in a utility building.
A walled English garden located near the kitchen provides fresh vegetables and as there is a small orchard. Italian chandeliers, an open fire, pedestal vanities are only the start of the list of ornate and detailed finishing.
The property has a February 2012 registered valuation of $2,750,000 for house and 13.6 acres. Without increasing the price, the vendors have since increased the land holding to a generous 20 acres and invite interest at this level.
This is a very special and unique property that will provide a wonderful and stimulating environment for your family to grow in as it has for the vendor's family.
Genuine interest is invited - for more information or to view please call Ben Jameson today.
