A Unique Whitford Address with Spectacular Views
Looking for an alternative to inner city living, then this impressive architecturally designed property could be for you - proudly set amongst a private enclave of superb, near new, highly specified lifestyle properties, where privacy and views matter.
Commanding attention from the ridge, in a sheltered position with spectacular views across Auckland as far as the eye can see, this substantial 431sqm single-level, architecturally refined residence has a strong sense of scale which is immediately apparent from the moment you approach. Designed around a central courtyard driveway, the pavilion style structure invites you indoors to fully appreciate the visual success of the dramatic 3.7-meter cathedral ceiling centerpiece of the home.
Boasting impressive volume which draws natural light all day long, the high ceilings and bespoke use of thermally insulated glass create a natural connection to the outdoors from expansive living spaces which span the entire width, to capture these exceptional views that can never be built out, from sunrise to sunset.
The heart of the home is the extensive entertainer's kitchen - complete with expansive benchtops, quality appliances and a generous scullery, perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying relaxed everyday living. Balancing generous proportions has created an effortless connection to its striking pavilion-style-covered outdoor room, designed for all season entertainment and appreciation of these spectacular views.
Exceptional features such as the luxurious master suite, a climate controlled 360-bottle wine cellar, Schneider's ‘Wiser Smart Home' automation system, and premium contemporary comforts such as a spacious fully self-contained guest wing, add another dimension to this one-of-a kind-custom home.
For the car enthusiast, the garage is exceptional. A five-car capacity, a hydraulic vehicle hoist, internal workshop and unique 4.05-meter stud height which provides an exceptional environment for prized vehicles, collections or projects.
Positioned on a generous 0.5161ha (approx 1.27-acre) site, just minutes from Whitford Village and within the respected Howick College school zone, this property delivers more than you expect.
A remarkable opportunity for discerning buyers wanting to get away from the city and have a true retreat to call their own, and above all, a view that is almost impossible to replicate.
Please call for a private viewing or come along to one of our scheduled open homes.

Estimated rental yield
2.0%
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 $2,940,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| 1 rental advertised nearby each adjusted to this property’s bedrooms and value | $1,022 | 1% |
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $1,114 | 99% |
We read this property as a townhouse. 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.
