Relocated from Remuera, this elegant Californian bungalow has been thoughtfully reimagined with a modern rear extension that opens right up to the outdoors - the kind of effortless indoor-outdoor flow you'd expect from the pages of a design magazine.

Set on 1.4 hectares of rolling green countryside, the property combines heritage charm with easy contemporary living. Ornate timber details, native wooden pillars and panelled ceilings nod to its origins, while expansive decks and manicured flat lawns frame uninterrupted views stretching right up the harbour.

The outdoor living space is a standout - completely private, bathed in all-day sun, and perfectly connected to the home's open plan hub. From the newly relined resort-style pool (2024) and spa (2023) to the outdoor fire and generous entertaining zones, it's a true mix of resort and rural life.

Every upgrade has been considered: new roof (2021), kitchen renovation (2018), fresh exterior and shed repaint (March 2025), resurfaced driveway (June 2025), new septic drains (2023), second water tank (2022), hard-wired electric fencing, and electric gated entry (September 2025). Starlink internet keeps things connected, while wool underfloor insulation and a modern heat pump add year-round comfort.

A large timber shed with concrete flooring, power and water - plus an additional lean-to for extra storage - is a major bonus, complemented by plentiful parking. Two large paddocks and one smaller paddock provide flexibility for animals or space to expand.

A short drive to both Helensville village and Waimauku, this immaculate home feels a world away yet wonderfully close to everything. Life really is better with a view.
