Situated among a handful of desirable properties in the sought-after rural enclave of Camelot Estate, this outstanding Otaihanga residence delivers the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of—without giving up the convenience of town.

Set across almost two hectares of undulating, private, park-like grounds, yet just eight minutes from Coastlands or Mahara Place, 21 Merlin Court feels a world away from suburbia.

A sweeping driveway leads to the elevated, generously proportioned 2005-built home, where a raft of improvements have created a comfortable retreat. Upgrades include tinted double glazing and modern aluminium joinery, plush carpet, stylish drapes and electric blinds, fresh interior and exterior paint, plus a well thought out, contemporary designer kitchen with epic walk in pantry.

The luxe primary suite is impressively spacious, with a walk-in wardrobe and full bathroom, while a separate wing comprises three further double bedrooms, serviced by a family bathroom and separate WC. The internal-access double garage adjoins a large laundry/mudroom with handy third WC.

But outside is where the magic really begins…

Entertainers, you’re in for a treat. Multiple patios offer sunny or shady spots to relax, while the split-level deck with glass balustrade overlooks your land towards Otaraua Park and the Tararuas. Challenge family and friends on the nine-hole mini golf course or full-size pétanque court, then finish with home-made pizzas from your own wood-fired oven.

Grow your own produce in the custom-built walk-in grow cage, establish an orchard, or simply enjoy the abundant birdlife and beautiful grounds. With drive-on access to the lower land, add suitable fencing and there’s potential for a pony or two, sheep or alpacas. There’s even a feature lake attracting kingfishers—and plenty more waiting to be discovered.

Private, peaceful and wonderfully unexpected, this is lifestyle living with a difference. No need to pull a magical sword from a stone to make it yours—just come and see it for yourself.
