69 Jones Rd, Clevedon, Manukau City, Auckland

From the moment you drive up to the cedar front door surrounded by glass you know you have arrived at somewhere special. This Pete Bossley designed house is situated 240 metres above sea level and commands breathtaking views across farmland to both the Hauraki Gulf and Manukau Harbours and The Sky Tower in between. It is set in 6 hectares of bush of which has been lovingly nurtured for future generations by the present owners with numerous tracks to transverse.

Pete Bossley (who was also on the design team for Te Papa Museum) describes the home as a 'long, gently curving wing, which anchors the composition to the contours, while three separate forms are spread along the north face.' The design captures the views from mostly every room.

The house is split level and features 4 double bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the eastern end and has an ensuite and walk in wardrobe and the guest accommodation at the western end (with its own entrance if required) features a lounge with kitchenette and its own bathroom. The other bedrooms are accessed via the Rumpus area.

The home lends itself to entertaining with outside areas north and south easily accessed from the designer kitchen. The lounge and library can also be opened to the north facing suspended deck by opening the bifold doors. Barbeque areas on both entertaining areas mean that the weather is not an issue. The added bonus is the fully fenced heated concrete pool (approx. 13m x 5m) blending into the landscape.

The lower level compromises a spacious double internal access garage, separate workshop area and climatically controlled wine cellar.

The cladding is western red cedar, the floor is concrete and suspended wood, the joinery is powder-coated aluminium and the roof is pre-finished corrugated steel with membrane gutters with stainless steel downpipes.
