A PRIVATE SANCTUARY WITH TIMELESS CHARACTER
Rich in character and beautifully maintained, this substantial three-level residence is wonderfully spacious and designed for family life. Bathed in natural light, it commands sweeping views that stretch across the harbour, Wellington Botanic Garden and towards the Remutaka Range, while its elevated setting surrounded by native bush creates an exceptional sense of peace and privacy.
Adding an extraordinary dimension, the property is held across three separate freehold titles covering over 1,800m2. Enjoyed together, they create an exceptionally generous private retreat. Considered individually, there is the flexibility to enjoy the land as one magnificent property, explore future development or hold it for the years ahead. An unbelievable opportunity for discerning buyers.

- Private, fully fenced spa area framed by established greenery with abundant native birdlife
- Two garages and private cable-car access providing a distinctive and easy journey up to the house
- Captivating harbour, Botanic Garden and sunrise views, with excellent sun and remarkable privacy
