Welcome home to country and character

Upon arrival, there is an immediate sense that you have discovered something truly special, and it only deepens as you meander through the peaceful semi rural 1.145 hectare setting, catching your first glimpse of the welcoming front porch, and rocking chair ready sprawling verandahs.

Dating back to the 1870s, this immaculately maintained Kauri weatherboard villa has been sympathetically modernised, with an understated elegance that makes everyday living both comfortable and a pleasure. Hallmarks of a bygone era abound with rich Kauri flooring, wide hallways, soaring ceilings, French doors, ornate leadlight windows and classical lighting. These timeless features are beautifully complemented by a stylish, generously proportioned kitchen with engineered stone benchtops and Smeg appliances, a true cook's delight.

All three bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, including the fairy-tale master suite with ensuite and deep clawfoot bath. Each room has, at various times, been used as formal or private living spaces and home offices, offering remarkable flexibility. Almost every room either opens to the outdoors or enjoys tranquil garden views, while comprehensive insulation and heat pumps ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, you are immersed in a peaceful and invigorating wonderland. Fruit trees, including grapefruit, plum, peach, feijoa, lemon and apple, along with grapevines and strawberry beds, produce abundant, healthy harvests. Expansive shaded lawns, mature trees, a soothing water fountain, grazing land, and even a pocket of native bush alive with birdsong create a setting that is both calming and inspiring. A natural flowing stream, deep enough in places to dip into, completes this exceptional landscape.

Added bonuses include a studio immersed amongst the gardens perfect for guests, a home office or yoga retreat and a versatile 120sqm modern four bay garage/workshop/hobby space, future proofed for a mezzanine floor or vehicle storage hoist.

Kumeu remains one of the last true city fringe sanctuaries, offering the perfect balance of country living with easy access to Auckland, the Northwest's amenities, west coast beaches, renowned wineries, cafés and restaurants.

Life is to live, love and leave a legacy, this rare opportunity needs a new caretaker, and it so easily could be you.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,115 × 52 weeks = $57,980, against the council valuation of $2,225,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$1,114100%

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
