Spectacular Whitford estate

A masterpiece of craftmanship and design

An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Whitford's most prestigious lifestyle properties, where grand views and timeless luxury define this 'one of a kind' masterpiece in construction, design, dimension and location. Set amongst a natural backdrop with serene ponds and lush gardens, this remarkable estate consists of approximately 2.5515 hectares which showcases an idyllic semi-rural lifestyle of luxury and privacy which perfectly bridges the rustic and the refined.

Impeccably presented, the main residence is an impressive solid masonry home. The over 900sqm is meticulously crafted from the finest materials including South Island schist exterior and an impressive selection of natural stone and hardwood timbers on the interior.
Renowned US based interior designer Barbara Westbrook of Westbrook Interiors, created a refined and highly livable home. The stately and serene environment reflects and embraces the natural beauty that is New Zealand's greatest asset.

The striking interior is enhanced by a soft natural interior colour palate, with high walls providing an excellent backdrop for spectacular artwork. Subtle stone surrounds on the fireplaces in the main living rooms direct the eye to the wide terrace, which leads to the heated infinity pool overlooking stunning outdoor vistas including Rangitoto Island.

Notable features of this organically themed residence are the wonderful entertainer's kitchen, a memorable dining room or conference area, a climate-controlled wine cellar with a capacity of over 2000 bottles, and an elevated walk bridge which showcases one of the homes' unique architectural details.

Functionality includes a designated office and a generous gym room, substantial storage as well as over-height internal access garaging for four plus vehicles. The property also includes a raised vegetable and flower garden, and an orchard with apple, plum, pear, nut and citrus trees.

To complement the main residence there is a separate three-bedroom cottage ideally located for extended family living, long-term guests, or staff. An implement shed, and a helicopter landing area are available on the property.
