1120 Ararimu Road, Ararimu, Franklin, Auckland

Brand new and ready for immediate possession, this 456 sq m (more or less) luxury home on 1.26 Ha (more or less) brings a new level of lifestyle living to Ararimu. Whispering Lake is the property that keeps on giving.

Designed for families who love to entertain, it captures panoramic rural views across a picturesque lake, extensive decking on both levels and a flexible layout with multiple living zones, dual master suites and a private guest or in-law wing. Generous ceiling heights enhance the sense of light and space. A home that performs beautifully in every season with premium materials and finishes, everything here feels refined and ready to enjoy.

Set behind automated gates, the driveway winds through landscaped grounds to a residence that reveals its scale and surprise with every turn. Concrete, Cedar, and vertical weatherboards lend architectural presence, while full-height glazing frames the lake and hills beyond. The effect is private, open, and elevated - a modern sanctuary within easy reach of the city.

The main living level is the social heart, anchored by a sleek kitchen with black Fisher & Paykel appliances and a hidden butler’s pantry. Large sliders open to a wrap-around deck on the eastern side - the perfect setting for gatherings that flow seamlessly from indoors to out.

Two master suites, one on each level, make this home ideal for extended family or guests. Its flexible configuration also suits multi-generational living, guest accommodation or Airbnb, offering privacy without compromise. Downstairs, a generous media lounge with wet-bar provides another space to unwind, while the self-contained suite enjoys its own entry and parking.

A glass-framed office makes working from home inspiring. The triple-car garage includes a second laundry for added flexibility.

Perfectly positioned for a pool, with concepts and costings available - the final touch for summer entertaining.

Only ten minutes from the Southern Motorway and Drury South Crossing a master-planned business, retail and residential community with 90 ha (more or less) of open space to enjoy.
