It feels private, established and quietly impressive from the moment you pass through the electric gates and make your way up the tree-lined driveway.The home itself has all the charm you would hope for in a villa of this era, paired with the room and flexibility modern family life demands. Across more than 320sqm and three levels, the layout includes generous living spaces, formal and informal dining, a country-style kitchen with coal range, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and excellent storage throughout.

The main level offers spacious everyday living, a large lounge, dining area, kitchen and family bathroom, along with bedroom accommodation and plenty of natural light. Upstairs, three further bedrooms include a superb primary suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and office space, while one of the bedrooms enjoys an outlook across the tennis court.

Downstairs is where the home really starts to show its entertaining credentials. A home theatre, rumpus room, larder, laundry, linen room, sauna, bathroom and generous storage create a brilliant zone for hosting, relaxing or giving teenagers their own territory. French doors open to a sunny deck, leading down to the pool and mature grounds beyond.

Outdoors, the scale is exceptional. The paddocks are currently grazed by sheep, though the property would suit horses or other livestock. The ponds, waterfall, natural spring and mature planting give the land real character, while the pool and tennis court make summer here feel like a private resort with gumboots nearby.

This is a rare Taupaki estate with presence, privacy and genuine lifestyle depth. Come along and experience it for yourself.
