Some homes don’t just welcome you in they sweep you off your feet. This beautifully restored villa on the Awhitu Peninsula is one of them. It’s a masterclass in blending ultra-modern elegance with the soul and charm of a bygone era.

The name "Clonbern Estate" comes from the owners, who drew inspiration from the homes Clonbern Road roots. A piece of history that gives the home its character and heart.

The kitchen? A show-stopper. Designed by award winning Leonie Hamill of Dentro.co.nz. It's sleek, stylish and cleverly flanked by doors on either side opening to nature, light and fresh coastal air. It's the kind of space where long lunches stretch into evening gatherings, with everyone wanting just one more glass of wine before they go.

Stained glass windows catch the light like pieces of art. Rich timber floors carry you through spaces that feel both expansive and intimate. Three unique bedrooms each tell their own story, while bathrooms rival luxury hotel suites so indulgent, you might just take longer showers on purpose.

Set on 12.84 ha (more or less), with a 190sqm (more or less) home that blends charm and sophistication, the dining and living areas flow effortlessly into each other. In each space, a striking chandelier serves as a true feature piece, adding character without overpowering the room. The cosy gas fireplaces in both areas, along with a window seat in the living room, create an inviting space to relax and soak up the atmosphere.

And then there’s the outdoors, sweeping views across rolling farmland to the harbour, where coastal meets country. Mornings greet you with breathtaking sunrises and as day fades, the sky comes alive with colour, and every sunset feels like a private performance.

This remarkable home even captured national attention, featured in TVNZ 1’s Moving Houses (Season 1, Episode 1).
Clonbern Estate is more than a home. It’s a holiday you never have to leave.
