42 Mainston Road, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, protected by hedges, established trees and a discreet entrance, sits a substantial 3525sqm estate-like home that has quietly nurtured and entertained just a few lucky Remuera families since 1926.

The current owners arrived 24 years ago, and ever since it has been their sanctuary for morning tennis, poolside summers, children disappearing into the garden for hours, and the quiet pleasure of growing food, and memories, at home. 

The original residence has an enduring presence, thoughtfully enlarged by Brian Cullen to better suit contemporary family living. Its rooms offer both elegance and ease, with living spaces connecting naturally to the gardens and outdoor areas that make this home so special.

Once featured in the Remuera Garden Show, the grounds are beautiful with plentiful flower gardens, fruit trees, native bush, vegetable plots, and much more.  The landscape has a country-feel that changes with the seasons and invites you outside every day.

The tennis court is at the heart of the lifestyle here. It is the place for a casual hit after work, lessons on the weekend or lively family competition during the holidays. The pool, large putting green and practice bunker make it possible to enjoy an extraordinary range of recreation without ever leaving home.

For children, these grounds are nothing short of magical. A playground, trampoline, flying fox, and a treehouse offer freedom that will see them thrive.

Private, peaceful, and remarkably generous, this is more than a home. It is a genuine family estate: established, deeply loved and ready to be enjoyed, refreshed or taken in an inspiring new direction.

Pre-auction offers are expected.
