86 Emerald Glen Road, Paekakariki, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

If you’re after space to breathe without compromising on convenience, this one’s hard to beat. Just minutes from Raumati and Paekakariki, this beautifully upgraded lifestyle property sits on around 11 acres, with sweeping views, privacy, and room to live the way you want.

Architecturally refreshed in 2010, the home has been thoughtfully redesigned to bring in natural light, warmth, and flow. The layout is generous - four bedrooms, one with an ensuite and walk-in robe, two bathrooms, a 'mudroom' with an additional toilet, and open plan living. The kitchen’s a standout: double ovens, a walk-through scullery, loads of storage, and plenty of bench space whether you’re feeding a crowd or chasing your inner chef.

Comfort is sorted year-round with double glazing, wool insulation, a heat pump, ventilation system, and a wood burner - plus a hot tub for those cooler nights.

Outside, there’s space for everything. Three well-fenced paddocks, an olive grove, triple internal-access garaging, a separate barn, and stables with a large tack room. Electric gates add security, and the land itself offers so many options - from an equestrian setup to hobby farming, or simply a peaceful place to let the kids and animals roam. There’s even a striking Chris Booth sculpture that gives the setting a creative edge.

Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. You’re close to Paekakariki village, Raumati shops and cafes, QEII Park, and great schools. The commute’s easy too, with quick access to Transmission Gully or the Kapiti Expressway.

It’s rare to find something that balances quality, design, and lifestyle this well. If you’re ready to spread out and settle in, this one’s worth a look.
