130 Boord Crescent, Kumeu, Rodney, Auckland

Tucked within an exclusive Kumeu enclave, this perfectly flat, two-hectare estate is a horse-lovers retreat. Much adored by the current family for the past 31 years.

Crafted in the early 1900s as the Taneatua station house, the classic villa homestead still celebrates many design elements of the era and is presented in largely original condition. Aficionados of period design will appreciate the character, with interiors crafted entirely from rich timber, which evokes a warm and inviting ambiance. The coal range in the kitchen produces plenty of heat and enduring construction ensures the home is cool in summer and toasty in winter.

The large formal lounge flows out to the front veranda and three bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bathroom are located off the large lounge.

North-facing, park-like grounds and outdoor living areas envelop the house, with majestic mature trees including kauri and rimu . Grounds are divided into three/four paddocks and serviced by a private bore, which promises unlimited water. The concrete stables and tack room are easily accessible from the house and are crafted from concrete block.

Boord Crescent is peaceful and quiet as it's not a through road. All Kumeu village shops, services and eateries are just a five minute drive, with local equestrian facilities, West Coast beaches and Riverhead Forest also close by.

Disclosure: 1) This property is, in part, impacted by the New Zealand Transport Agency designation for the State Highway 16 North West Alternative State Highway (ASH) Project. In this regard, see the attached plan. 2) The designation has blighted the value of the property which is being marketed to support an application for a whole property purchase order under s185 Resource Management Act 1991 requiring the New Zealand Transport Agency to buy the property under the provisions of the Public Works Act 1981. S185 specifies the owner must market the property at the market value it would have had, had it not been designated. Thus, no allowance for the blighting effect the designation has caused on the property's value can be allowed for in any sale. 3) Apart from the above disclosures the vendor does not give any warranty or make any representations on the effects of the designation. We, as the instructed real estate agent, are neither qualified or authorised to advise any intending purchaser on the effects of the designation. We urge you to seek the advice of your solicitor should further information in this regard be required.
