This home is going to auction, and the owners have moved on. They're fully committed to selling and have no intention of still owning it after auction day. For the right buyer, this is a genuine chance to secure a rare slice of paradise.

Imagine owning your own private piece of native New Zealand: nearly 2.5 acres of mature bush, birdsong and majestic native kauri, yet only minutes from schools, shopping and the motorway. Behind a gated entrance at the end of a quiet Greenhithe lane, you can live and entertain in complete privacy while staying close to everything.

Inside, vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the spaces with light, and big glass sliders frame nikau palms and tree ferns from almost every room. A spacious main living room and a second lounge give everyone room to spread out, while central air conditioning and a smart home system keep the whole home comfortable and easy to run. The kitchen has induction cooking, a twin wall oven and a generous benchtop, with windows over the sink looking straight into the bush. Dining sits among the treetops, and the loft under the roof glazing makes a calm study, a teenagers' retreat or a creative
space.

There are four bedrooms, including a main suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a separate family bathroom and laundry. Two of the bedrooms also have mezzanine spaces, ideal as a playroom or study.

Outside, the wide deck wraps the house and leads to the fenced, heated salt-water pool and covered outdoor dining beside an outdoor fireplace. Open lawn is framed by established trees and native bush, with the kauri trees watching over a garden made for long summer evenings.

For all its seclusion, everyday life is easy. The school run is simple, with Kristin School and Pinehurst School both about a 6-minute drive away. Albany Mega Centre is about a 10-minute drive away for shopping, and with State Highways 1 and 18 only about a 2-minute drive away, the rest of Auckland is within easy reach.

Homes that offer this much nature with this kind of convenience rarely come up, and with motivated owners, this one is ready for its next chapter. Come and see it before auction day.
