Enchanting retreat

Located just five minutes from charming Puhoi Village and encircled by beautiful native bush, this enchanting property sits in an elevated location with magnificent city views. These sweeping panoramic views stretch from Great Barrier Island in the north around to the Waitakeres in the west.

From the tree lined driveway, this spellbinding country hideaway offers a whimsical, architecturally designed home that opens out to embrace the superb bush setting and breath-taking views beyond. Inside, the home's impressive interior does nothing to dispel the magic - the open-plan design with vaulted ceilings offers light-filled spaces including the fabulous master suite, while turret staircases lead to a further three bedrooms and family bathroom upstairs. In addition, there is a study or gym on the main level. There is harmonious flow throughout this captivating home that is presented to a very high standard. Double glazing cedar joinery and the wood burner fire create a cosy ambience in the winter months while folding doors open seamlessly in summer to the outdoor entertainers' rooms set amongst the attractive surrounding gardens and stunning views beyond.

Nestled in the tranquil bush is a separate and very charming studio whose bright and airy interior is wonderful. This is a bonus and is ideal as a home office or for hosting extended family and friends.

Trails meander throughout the bush where views can be enjoyed from platforms and the serene natural environment can be appreciated. As the electric gates close on this calming oasis the busy world is left behind, yet Auckland City is within an easy commute.
