Property details

Listing # G28546 | Listed on 28 October

Standing proudly behind its grand white fence and electric gates, Piwakawaka is one of Greytown’s most admired homes. This exceptional property embodies grace, privacy, and a rare sense of occasion. Set within 6,398 sq m of breathtaking gardens that have been showcased on national garden tours, it offers a lifestyle where heritage beauty and modern comfort unite in perfect harmony.

Originally built in the 1890’s, this distinguished home exudes enduring character. Its arched windows and timbered detailing, echoing traditional quoins, enhance the home’s classic proportions, while intricate fretwork and a sweeping verandah frame its timeless facade.

Inside, polished native timber floors, ornate architraves, and high ceilings celebrate the craftsmanship of its era, while thoughtful upgrades bring effortless ease. The kitchen and dining area, adorned with colourful stained-glass windows, features a freestanding oven, large island bench, and a full butler’s pantry. French doors open to a covered louvre terrace, creating an inviting space for year-round entertaining. Two elegant living rooms, each centred around its own fireplace, provide warmth and ambience, while three generous bedrooms include a serene master suite overlooking the gardens. An additional room, currently used as an office, transforms into a formal dining space during the winter months, adding versatility to the home’s layout.

The home has been meticulously improved with new wiring, new plumbing, insulation both up and down, ducted heating and cooling, and three additional heat pumps to ensure complete comfort throughout the seasons.

Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private retreat. The formal parterre garden, raised vegetable beds, and bore water supply that keeps the grounds lush year-round surround the heated swimming pool and pool house, complete with bathroom and fireplace. The Sorrento Room provides a peaceful hideaway among the trees, while a dedicated man cave adds a versatile touch to this exceptional property.

Piwakawaka is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a home of historic beauty, modern luxury, and undeniable heart. It stands as a true Greytown landmark where elegance, romance, and entertaining grandeur come together perfectly.
