174 Upper Harbour Drive, Greenhithe, North Shore City, Auckland

This is a property that immediately sets itself apart — not just in Greenhithe, but across the North Shore. Privately positioned on 6,557sqm (more or less) of prized north-facing land, this exceptional five-bedroom estate delivers a scale of living more often associated with lifestyle locations such as Coatesville or Kumeu — yet here it is, just minutes from everything Greenhithe offers. Set behind an elegant stone wall and framed by beautifully established grounds, the sense of arrival is immediate. There is a quiet confidence here — expansive, secluded and something quite special. Designed in the style of a classic Queenslander, the home captures the charm and character of a timeless architectural era, while offering the reassurance and ease of modern construction and amenities. Inside, soaring ceilings and generously proportioned living spaces create an immediate feeling of light, openness and calm, with natural materials adding warmth and depth throughout. The layout has been thoughtfully designed for both family living and entertaining. The master suite is positioned on its own upper level — a true retreat with elevated valley views and complete separation. Below, four generous double bedrooms and an additional living area form a cohesive and highly functional family wing, ideal for children, guests or extended family. Outdoors, the lifestyle offering is exceptional. Multiple terraces flow seamlessly from the living spaces, creating inviting zones for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The swimming pool, beautifully appointed barbecue area and all-weather court — perfect for tennis, pickleball or croquet — combine to create a setting that feels more like a private retreat than a residential home. The grounds themselves are a standout — expansive, private and alive with birdlife. It’s a setting that offers both space and serenity in equal measure, while still being within easy reach of Greenhithe village amenities, excellent schools and motorway access. For buyers considering lifestyle properties on the Shore, in Coatesville or Kumeu, this is an opportunity that demands your attention — offering comparable space and amenity without sacrificing convenience or location. With the vendors now committed to downsizing, a genuine opportunity exists to secure one of the North Shore’s most unique lifestyle estates. Contact Jeff or Ronelle to arrange to view.
