19 Helland Drive, Ramarama, Franklin, Auckland

Settled in a private estate synonymous with quality, this contemporary residence is defined by style, structure and an uncompromising standard of finish with minutes to the motorway.

From the moment you arrive, there is an immediate sense of escape. Established greenery, the gentle presence of a meandering stream and all-day sunshine create a setting that feels remarkably removed from the everyday. Set across 6,430m²(more or less), the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped for minimal maintenance, creating an effortless retreat for those seeking a lock up and leave lifestyle without compromising on space, privacy or connection to the outdoors.

The home is predominantly arranged across one level, creating an effortless flow between its living and private spaces, while the home theatre and wine cellar sit separately below. Above, clerestory windows flood the interiors with natural light, reaching deep into the bedrooms. At the centre, the open plan living area is anchored by a sleek kitchen inspired by Simon Gault, complete with De Dietrich appliances and integrated Amana refrigeration.

The main living space is defined by volume, warmth and a strong connection to the outdoors. A sloping stud rises from 3.6m to 4.2m, giving the room an impressive sense of scale, while a central fireplace creates a natural focal point shared by the main living and dining areas and the sunken lounge beyond. 2.5m high stacking doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening directly to a resort style entertaining area complete with a 10m x 3m heated swimming pool, built in spa, BBQ area with rangehood and outdoor bathroom. Much of the space is semi covered, making it just as practical for a winter gathering as it is for a summer afternoon by the pool.

Below, entertaining takes on an entirely different character. The 12-seat private home theatre combines a 110-inch screen, DLP projector and THX-certified Marantz 7.1 surround sound, with acoustic treatment designed to minimise echo and enhance clarity. Custom cinema seating, integrated lighting and concealed AV cabinetry complete a purpose-built space for movie nights, sporting events and entertaining. A dedicated wine cellar sits alongside.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a dedicated poolside bathroom for added convenience. The master suite enjoys direct access to the pool area, along with a substantial walk-in robe and ensuite featuring a generous walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms are complemented by built in storage and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with triple car garaging, a separate laundry and access to a shared bore water supply. Outside, the grounds have been designed with virtually no lawn to maintain, leaving more time to enjoy everything the property has to offer.

Everything you need is close at hand, with Stevenson’s Business Park rapidly taking shape, motorway access, new train stations and Pukekohe an easy drive from home. As the wider Drury / Ramarama area continues to grow and develop, the location is becoming increasingly connected, convenient and sought after for key companies such as Cosco, Kiwi Property, Fisher and Paykel.

A home of this calibre is best appreciated in person. Come and experience the scale, finish and setting for yourself.
