Some homes are built around a view. This one is built around the people enjoying it.
From the elevated grounds of 176 Ridge Road, the Coatesville valley opens out in a wide, sweeping view that makes conversations pause, and then carry on more easily.
Behind the gates, established trees soften the approach and the single level home opens to meet it. Designed by architectural designer Matthew Jenkins, it pairs timber, concrete and steel with generous glass, so the light moves through the day and the valley moves with it. Warm textures and natural timber keep every room calm and lived in.
This is a house made for gathering. Open living spaces, warmed by a gas fireplace, step out to new decking and a louvre covered patio with its own wood burning fireplace, so lunch becomes dinner and dinner becomes a late night. Off the living area, custom steel doors open to the whiskey room, a dedicated and deeply luxurious space with its own outlook to the deck and the valley beyond.
When it is time to switch off, there is room for that too. A separate studio sits apart from the main home, ideal for family or a nanny. Beneath it, the media room is a private retreat of its own, set away from the main house.
For New Zealand families, it is a rare home that hosts brilliantly and retreats just as well. For buyers holding or pursuing New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus Visa, the pathway allowing eligible holders to purchase one residential or lifestyle property valued at NZ$5 million or more is now in place, and this is a home worth a conversation.
Set on 1.0169 hectares in Coatesville, close enough to Auckland to be easy and far enough to feel like another world.
