Some Homes Make an Immediate Impression
Designed for the Way You Want to Live!
278 Cape Hill Road reveals its quality in the way every element has been considered. Its generous proportions and architectural presence accommodate everyday life with ease. Set within beautifully established grounds, this six-year-old residence combines enduring design with a thoughtful layout, creating a home that feels both impressive and effortlessly livable.
At the heart of the home sits a true culinary command centre: a designer kitchen that seamlessly bridges two distinct living spaces. Formal entertaining unfolds on one side, while relaxed family living occupies the other. Striking stacking doors open wide to a covered portico, expansive decking, and the gardens beyond, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor sanctuary for gatherings with family and friends.
The Culinary Heart
• Entertainers' kitchen: Engineered for effortless hosting and premium daily living. Stunning waterfall island bench
• Premium appliances: Equipped with triple ovens and a fully integrated dishwasher.
• Storage & style: Features a spacious butler's pantry, multi-drawer island bench, and stunning architectural lighting.
Intelligent Winged Accommodation
The accommodation is intelligently arranged across two distinct wings to optimize privacy and support effortless family living:
• The Master Wing: A luxurious private retreat featuring an opulent, spacious bedroom with direct patio access, dual walk-in wardrobes, and an indulgent, spa-like ensuite.
• The Family & Guest Wing: Positioned at the opposite end of the home, offering generous bedrooms, a stylish bathroom configuration, and a dedicated office (or fourth bedroom) for ultimate lifestyle flexibility.
The Ultimate Home & Business Infrastructure
Beyond the exceptional residence lies a heavy-duty, multi-functional layout tailored for ultimate lifestyle flexibility, trade professionals, or running a small business from home (such as an electrician, builder, or mechanic):
• High-Stud 3-Bay Shedding: Impressive vertical clearance and space to accommodate heavy machinery, commercial vehicles, or substantial equipment.
• Dedicated Workshop & Storage: Purpose-built for productivity, featuring an integrated workshop zone plus additional independent storage to seamlessly separate business inventory from home life.
• High-Clearance Carport: Extra-height covered accommodation specifically designed to shield a large boat, caravan, or trade vehicle from the elements.
Substantial Practical Amenities
The functional details of this property are equally impressive. A generous, dedicated laundry and mudroom/boot-room provide exceptional daily utility, seamlessly complementing the internal-access double garage and an oversized guest powder room.
Beyond the Home
• Self-sufficiency: Supported by its own private bore, three 30,000-litre water tanks, a productive glasshouse, and a mature, established fruit orchard.
• Outdoor relaxation: A sheltered, undercover outdoor living area complete with a luxury spa pool.
• Premium comfort: gas fire for those chilly evenings, ducted central heating and an integrated ventilation system ensure year-round climate perfection,
A Connected Rural Haven
Enjoying a highly sought-after lifestyle position, this property offers peaceful rural living without sacrificing urban connectivity:
• School zones: A plethora of great schools within a 7-8km vicinity-highly regarded Valley School, Paerata Primary, Pukekohe East, St Ignatius Catholic College, Pukekohe Intermediate, and Pukekohe High School.
• Local convenience: Situated just 4km from Pukekohe Township and its vibrant community amenities.
• Commuter access: Only 12km to the Bombay motorway on-ramp and 10km to the Drury interchange. The new Paerata train station is only 4kms away.
The Perfect Balance
What truly sets this property apart is its exquisite sense of balance. It is generous without being overwhelming. Impressive without sacrificing daily practicality. Six years on, the landscaping has beautifully matured. The home has settled elegantly into its surroundings. It offers the rare appeal of a property that feels entirely established and enduring.
A beautifully considered lifestyle property, designed to be lived and enjoyed.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, May 2024 | $2,200,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Auckland since the council valuation | −4.8% |
| Apartments and houses in Auckland | +0.1% |
| How Pukekohe sells against council values | +0.4% |
| Homes of this age in Pukekohe | +0.1% |
| Homes in this price range | −0.9% |
| Land as a share of the value | −1.5% |
| Our estimate | $2,060,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.
