The spacious entry forms the hub of the home leading through to the enormous open plan family area with generous kitchen that is complemented by a butler's kitchen allowing for clutter free, effortless entertaining. The family dining and lounge with large open fire, open out to the covered outdoor living through stacking sliders, complete with another open fire and heated pool for al fresco entertaining.

The master wing has a large walk- in wardrobe, full-size bathroom with double vanity, triple head shower and bath and is adjacent to the media room providing a wonderful space to enjoy a movie or watch the game.
The property is zoned 'future urban' in the Unitary Plan so there is a long term upside in the land value.

It would also be an ideal place to work from home.
Surrounding the home are over 60 mature pear trees and about 120 apple trees that have the taste of a bygone era. Five paddocks, stands of native bush, a petanque court and beautiful watercourses and ponds on the property, together with boardwalks and bridges to access formed walkways through the trees, complete this package.
This quality home is a rare find so close to central Auckland.
