After 46 years in the same hands, 1 Ranfurly finally opens its doors. And it was worth the wait.

Held in privacy, this grand home and income reveal a stately villa and a 1960s cottage. Together, they offer an exclusive 900 sqm landholding in the DGZ, situated just off Market Road and resting at the foothills of Mount Saint John.

Built of native Kauri and constructed between the late Victorian and early Edwardian era, this villa reflects the Epsom of old. Mostly original, the architecture has been lovingly preserved, with thoughtful alterations that allow for the comfort of modern family living. Soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces, classic verandas, sash windows, and cast-iron embellishments continue to hold their charm today.

Palatial in proportion, an impressive foyer introduces the formal living and dining rooms, then opens into a modern country-style kitchen and an open-plan living area that flows to a private deck and landscaped gardens. Upstairs, four spacious, light-filled bedrooms and a study are thoughtfully positioned, with an elevated outlook toward One Tree Hill captured from select rooms. A bathroom on each level serves the home. Terraced gardens and lawns paint a pretty backdrop, where you’ll also find plenty of off-street parking and a single garage.

Named Tui Cottage, the 1960s weatherboard cottage offers a one-bedroom, one-bathroom layout and presents a lovely option for rental income or extended family living.

Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone, it’s also a short stroll to leading private schools, including St Cuthbert’s College, Dilworth School and Diocesan School for Girls. Remuera Train Station is within walking distance, while Cornwall Park, Remuera Village, Newmarket and motorway links are all close by, delivering the ease and prestige expected of a true dress circle setting.
