A Tuscan-inspired estate at 909 Old North Road, Waimauku, offers a luxurious rural lifestyle on 20 acres. The 500 sqm home features four bedrooms, a designer kitchen, a pool, and a custom NZ-made staircase.

The property includes separate guest accommodation and potential for a golf course. The owners prefer Waimauku over Coatesville for its welcoming community and proximity to wineries and beaches. Marketed by NZ Sotheby’s International Realty, it's a notable opportunity for Active Investor Plus (AIP) visa holders.
