404 Waiau Pa Road, Waiau Pa, Franklin, Auckland

New price point seriously for sale

Our vendors' dream home is now reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health, creating a rare chance for new owners to secure an exceptional lifestyle estate - set on 32 acres (more or less) in the heart of Waiau Pa, and priced well below replacement value. Privately located down a long driveway, this striking 440sqm home commands attention from the moment you arrive. Elevated on the highest point of the property, the home offers complete privacy and breathtaking views across farmland, with not a neighbour in sight. The home is only five years old and presents as new. Thoughtfully designed, it features two distinct wings, providing ideal separation between the master retreat and the guest or family quarters. The master wing is a luxurious escape, with a generous bedroom, large walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully tiled ensuite where a deep bathtub is perfectly positioned against a frame-less corner window, offering uninterrupted views while you soak in peace. At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living space. The designer kitchen is made for entertaining, with a large scullery, double ovens, and a wide induction cooktop. The dining area is grand in scale, currently home to a 10-seater table, and opens through bifold doors to a covered outdoor entertaining space. The main lounge invites you to relax by the gas fireplace, while a second lounge shares that same fireplace and offers a quieter place to unwind with a book or movie. There is also the office which is cleverly designed and utilised daily by the current owners who both work from home. The second wing of the home features three generously sized bedrooms, one with its own ensuite and the other two serviced by a sleek family bathroom. All bathrooms are fully tiled and finished to a high standard, with quality fittings that reflect the care and craftsmanship found throughout. Each space feels luxurious yet practical, designed to stand the test of time. Behind the scenes, a dedicated server room houses the technology that powers the home's integrated electronics and smart systems - ensuring everything from lighting to connectivity runs smoothly and efficiently. It's a discreet yet powerful inclusion that speaks to the home's thoughtful design and future-ready setup. Step outside and you'll find a setting that is just as impressive. The heated pool is a true showstopper - easily enjoyed year-round and the site of many summer celebrations. The covered entertaining area has room for a full outdoor kitchen, BBQ, and even a pizza oven, making it the perfect space for gathering with friends and family. The land is as functional as it is picturesque. Divided into 14 well-fenced paddocks, it features a race system for efficient stock movement, loading yards, bore and a large four-bay shed ideal for machinery, storage, or workshop space. The main barn includes four oversized stables, tack room, a wash-down bay, a round pen, a truck shed, and a Magnum Four-Horse Walker plus there is a Harrison Lane ebb and flow arena. There is also another large utility shed located at the front of the property which includes a self-contained one-bedroom apartment - ideal for extended family, guests, staff accommodation, or additional income. Currently enjoyed as an equine property, the possibilities here are far greater. With fertile soil, excellent infrastructure, and multiple accommodation options, this property could easily support horticulture, boutique farming, a market garden, or a home-based business. Whether you're dreaming of a quiet rural lifestyle, working from home in style, or running a productive land-based venture - this property is the canvas for it. If you've previously considered this property but thought it was beyond your budget, now is the time to take another look. With the vendors fully committed to selling, there's genuine flexibility on price - a rare opportunity to secure a premium lifestyle property at exceptional value. Contact the agents today to discuss.
