Electric gates and a sealed driveway, lined with mature Pohutukawa trees, lead through established manicured gardens and towering Kauri trees. The driveway splits to provide access to the superb Hinuera stone and cedar main residence, as well as a separate entrance to the shed, currently used as additional accommodation. Our vendors have lovingly enjoyed and cared for this exceptional 1 hectare flat property (10,000m²) and its 270 square metre home for many years, and are now relocating.

Zoned Residential – Large lot zone, Hingaia 3 sub-precinct which enables subdivision of the land, and located in one of the most prestigious streets in Karaka, excellent design takes full advantage of the breathtaking French-style formal gardens and glimpses of the harbour. Entry is directly into family living where levels, arcs and angles add architectural interest to sophisticated open plan living, teaming traditional and contemporary with resplendent Oak timber parquet flooring, patterned ceilings, plantation shutters, underfloor heating, wood fire and heat pumps.

Casual living merges with dining adjoining the sleek shiny kitchen with generous cabinetry, dramatic subway tile wall, stainless steel benchtop and splashback and quality appliances. Window walls invite natural light and those beautiful views, spilling out to paved patios and luxurious al fresco recreation and entertaining overlooking the heated saltwater pool and spa with walled and hedged garden surrounds and paved and timber decked leisure areas. These gardens are dotted with serene sitting venues and picturesque places in which to contemplate nature, read a book or enjoy a picnic in your own private park like setting.

Complete with overhead projector and large screen, the formal lounge/media room flows out into this private tropical resort space. This adjoins a sizeable storage/multi-use room. The east wing accommodates a spacious bedroom, bathroom and storage room plus a large living room and delightful super-sized laundry which spills outdoors. And, of course, all these rooms are flooded with amazing views of the grounds. Two separate staircases access the upper level, one leading to a large bedroom and ensuite, the other to the opulent master suite with an incredible curved window wall, spacious walk-in robe and ensuite with bath and separate shower.

Outdoors, there’s a double lock up garage with marine carpet, a double carport, a shed with kitchenette, 1 bedroom and bathroom additional accommodation. There’s also a super-sized shed once used to home a vintage car collection with underfloor heating connected to a diesel boiler, featuring three-phase power, storage rooms, a tool room, toilet, and workbenches. This opens out to a deck area with a fire pit. An additional double garage is also attached, and there’s still so much more to reveal. Discerning buyers are encouraged to arrange an early appointment and discover for themselves the magic that is this outstanding property.
