280D Okura River Road, Long Bay, North Shore City, Auckland

A private garden estate of impressive scale, where magnificent landscaped grounds, refined living and peaceful semi-rural surroundings come together to create an exceptional way of life.

Set on approximately 2,500m² of beautifully established grounds, this substantial luxury residence, constructed with solid concrete and weatherboard exteriors, offers the space, privacy and tranquillity of a peaceful lifestyle setting while keeping the everyday conveniences of the North Shore remarkably close.

From the moment you arrive, there is a wonderful sense of escape, surrounded by beautifully established gardens with carefully shaped hedging, mature palms, expansive lawns and elegant classical features. Peace and tranquillity are part of everyday life here, accompanied by birdsong, sunshine and picturesque garden views. Beautifully framed from within the house, the garden changes with the light throughout the day and provides a truly special backdrop for family living, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home.

Beyond the magnificent gardens, the residence reveals an extraordinary sense of scale and sophistication. Spanning approx. 489m², the interiors are impressively generous, offering 7 spacious bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and multiple expansive living and entertaining areas. Here, luxury is defined by space — room for family to come together, room to entertain on a grand scale, and room for everyone to retreat in comfort and privacy. Perfectly suited to large or extended families, visiting guests or working from home, the layout provides exceptional versatility without compromising the home’s sense of elegance and grandeur. Triple garaging and extensive off-street parking further complement this substantial residence, creating a lifestyle that is as effortless as it is impressive.

Yet perhaps the greatest luxury here is the balance between space and convenience. Despite its peaceful lifestyle vibe, the home remains within easy reach of Albany’s major shopping, dining and everyday amenities, as well as convenient motorway connections. Long Bay Village is also close at hand for cafés, restaurants and local conveniences, while the extensive retail and entertainment options of Westfield Albany are easily accessible. For families focused on education, it’s conveniently located near two of the North Shore’s leading independent schools — Pinehurst School and Kristin School.

The current owners have particularly treasured the peaceful nature of the neighbourhood and its strong sense of community. Private, peaceful and beautifully established, yet surprisingly well connected — this is lifestyle living without sacrificing city convenience.

Come and experience this luxury garden estate for yourself — you may find it very difficult to leave. Contact me to arrange a private viewing, or you are most welcome to visit one of our open homes.
