Impossible to replicate, difficult to forget

Set in the hills above Mangawhai on prestigious King Road, this remarkable home is inspired by the timeless villas of Tuscany, yet the property is less than ten minutes' drive to the town and beach.

Carefully designed with an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity, the four-year-old home has a floor area of more than 330sqm (more or less) plus extensive decking and is perfectly positioned on 5,676sqm (more or less) of beautifully landscaped low maintenance grounds, overlooking olive groves and vineyards.

Imported Spanish clay roof tiles, stunning stained-glass doors and windows and reclaimed bridge timbers from Central Otago, create a home rich in warmth and personality. Cottage charm meets modern comfort and elements such as hardwood flooring, bespoke detailing and clever craftsmanship combine to create inviting spaces designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. Constructed of Hebel block with a plaster finish, complemented by double glazing and quality heating systems this home offers year-round comfort to match its distinctive style.

At the heart of the home, the country-style kitchen is both elegant and practical, featuring a generous butler's pantry and a servery window connecting to the outdoor entertaining area. French doors open to a series of private decks and courtyards, providing exceptional indoor-outdoor flow.

The flexible layout offers three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a dedicated study. One of the bedrooms is currently configured as a separate guest suite, with its own entrance, kitchenette and ensuite, provides ideal accommodation for visitors, extended family and Airbnb use. Brooke Lane winery is within walking distance.

The upper level games room delivers a unique entertaining retreat, complete with its impressive American Football themed fit-out, pool table, bar and powder room. This space could also be converted into a loft apartment or a great workspace. The property is fully fenced with a double internal garage and a useful storage shed.

This home captures the romance of the European countryside while embracing the very best of Mangawhai lifestyle living.

An extraordinary property, beautifully crafted and impossible to replicate.

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 $2,300,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$1,114100%

We read this property as a house with 3 bedrooms. 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.
