East meets west in a spectacular, extremely rare 2228sqm level property along a quiet leafy avenue, moments from Newmarket and Remuera Village.

Spread over 1000sqm, the palatial mansion is a stunning blend of tradition and modernity, drawing on the ancient 2000 year old Siheyuan concept found in wealthy homes of China.
