65B Manuka Grove, Helensville, Rodney

Elevated, private and with potential

This extraordinary five-hectare property not only presents a peaceful, private lifestyle in paradise, it also boasts enticing potential for future subdivision. Tucked into the ridgeline above an exclusive, community-focussed cul-de-sac showcasing spectacular rural, native bush and Kaipara Harbour views.

The residence was crafted without compromise by the current owners 8 years ago. It's a truly bespoke build - meticulously designed to complement the dramatic landscape and with every last feature and detail carefully considered. An expansive floorplan is divided into three distinct zones - a luxurious parents' retreat, the living, cooking and entertaining hub, and the kids' wing. These incorporate four bedrooms, three bathrooms, four lounges, a wine cellar, an office and triple internal garaging with attic storage.

The open-plan chef's kitchen, dining and living space flows out to the covered outdoor living, spa platform and lawns, which are beautifully lit up at night. The separate lounge is also an ideal media room. At one end of the home, the master suite has its own lounge, bathroom and captivating turret bedroom upstairs. At the other, three bedrooms also have their own lounge and bathroom. Independent ducted air conditioning ensures all zones are kept at a comfortable temperature.

Landbankers will recognise the future opportunities, and families will relish the chance to live immersed in the beauty of nature. All the hard work has been done to clear and create access to the orchard, bushwalks, quad bike tracks, fenced paddocks and four creeks that surround the property. The separate drive-through workshop is lined, insulated and has a full bathroom, so can easily be converted into additional self-contained accommodation.

Helensville is experiencing a resurgence and is filled with many new eateries, shops and a supermarket. Kumeu and Waimauku are 10-minutes away, with North West/Westgate just 15. Retreat, unwind and reset away from big city life, as well as explore the subdivision potential.
