Property details

Listing # 1972907 | Listed on 6 November

Welcome to Huntly House - An iconic historic Victorian-style villa that perfectly combines lifestyle living with a rewarding income stream. Set on approximately 8.95ha (more or less) of gently contoured land overlooking the Manukau Harbour, this grand 1911 homestead is one of Clarks Beach’s most admired properties. There is simply no other property like it.

Spanning an impressive 600 sqm (more or less) over three levels, the vibrant villa exudes heritage elegance while offering contemporary comfort. With seven generously proportioned bedrooms, five of which feature private ensuites, the home provides exceptional flexibility for family living, hosting guests, or generating short-stay income.

From the moment you step inside, the villa’s character is immediately evident. Lovingly restored to highlight its original architectural charm, the home features soaring timber ceilings, polished native floors, intricate detailing, and ornate archways, creating a warm yet refined atmosphere throughout. Generous living areas, multiple dining spaces, and country-style kitchens provide the perfect setting for family life or entertaining guests.

Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms open onto wraparound verandas, capturing sweeping views across the surrounding paddocks, gardens, and the Manukau Harbour. Currently operating as boutique accommodation, Huntly House includes two self-contained guest suites that generate a consistent income while maintaining privacy for the owners. The established short-stay business enjoys strong local and online demand, with potential to further expand into events, retreats or weddings.

Outside, the land offers a mix of manicured gardens, open paddocks and mature trees, creating an idyllic rural backdrop. There’s ample space for grazing, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of this secluded coastal setting. The property sits near the end of a no-exit road, just minutes from the Clarks Beach township, local café, golf course and boat ramp.
Secluded yet accessible, this is a rare offering where heritage, lifestyle, and opportunity converge. Huntly House is not just a home it is an experience, a statement, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a truly unique coastal estate.
