Private Waterfront Mansion or Potential Lodge.

Owner is moving north and reluctantly needs to sell this magnificent property!

Only 35 minutes approximately to Auckland Harbour Bridge makes commuting a breeze.

Built to exacting standards of solid masonry construction and slate roofing with copper ridge cap and copper guttering, this luxurious 624 square metre home with outbuildings of 130 square metres is situated on 1.935 hectares of elevated land looking down the Pukapuka Inlet and out to sea.

The property has a 256 metre boardwalk that provides tidal water access. The Mahurangi harbour is very sheltered and suitable for small craft so that one can find many secluded sandy beaches within its confines. A deep water mooring comes with the property. Enjoy the pleasures of sailing, kayaking and swimming or just jump in the dingy and spend some time catching the evening meal.

Through the security gates and down a long driveway, with views of the inlet across established low maintenance gardens, one arrives to park in a generous area near the house. Your impression will be that this property has been tastefully designed and meticulously finished.

A spacious entrance lobby complemented by a grand winding staircase will lead you through beautifully crafted curved double doors into the living areas of the house. The interior is cleverly designed to give a natural flow out onto a large tiled patio area where you will find a heated, fully tiled swimming pool and adjoining pool house. This is ideal for alfresco entertaining, with a lounge, dining room, bathroom and even a wood-burning fireplace. The house is well heated by hot water under floor systems. All joinery in the main dwelling is high quality, double glazed, aluminium with an internal facing of beech. All cabinetry and internal doors are kauri. Bathroom floors in the main house are teak.

From the central hub of a magnificent slate and kauri finished kitchen, one has access out to the patio via the family room and informal dining area. Close by is the more formal dining room and lounge, each with a jet master wood burning fire place for extra winter ambience.

The master bedroom is discreetly placed down several steps nearby and has a large ensuite and walk in wardrobe. There is an adjoining nursery- double bedroom and, naturally, access to a more private area of the patio. A further 3 double bedrooms with a large shared bathroom are accessed by the main staircase previously mentioned. Down a short passageway from the informal living area one finds the internal entry to a large triple car garage. Stairs lead from this area to a self- contained apartment with double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge area that is currently used as a gym. Across the landing is a classically designed snooker room and bar with stunning views of the inlet.

Situated not far from the house is the barn providing further self -contained accommodation for guests.

This property is located halfway between Auckland City and the Matakana Coast which is famous for its abundant sheltered beaches, vineyards, restaurants, local markets and boutique cinemas.

Truly an iconic coastal residence this is a unique find and is a property you must see!
