Elegant living spaces include multiple formal and informal lounges, a conservatory, generous family living areas and three-car garaging.A sweeping tree-lined driveway leads through secure gates to beautifully established grounds originally designed by Michael Burton. Mature hedging, rose gardens, fruit trees and resident white doves create a peaceful estate atmosphere rarely found so close to Auckland.The landholding offers exceptional versatility, with fertile grazing paddocks, productive hay fields and significant native forest including mature kauri.
