1611 Kaipara Coast Highway, Kaukapakapa, Rodney, Auckland

This nearly five-acre lifestyle block comes with a 2003 G.J. Gardner home complete with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and double internal-access garaging, and it's a dream waiting to come true. Lovely westerly views over the Kaipara Harbour deliver exquisite sunsets, and the privacy to enjoy them. The house is well laid out and boasts elegant oak tongue-and-groove flooring throughout. Both bathrooms have been designed with delicious over-sized showers and underfloor heating. The well-appointed galley kitchen includes a breakfast bar, granite benchtops, and the luxury of natural light from a large skylight. The hot water system is solar-assisted, and a generator has been wired-in to complete peace of mind and provide super convenience in the inevitable storm power outages. Multiple outdoor living areas allow expansive views over green farmland, across a section of the Kaipara Harbour and finally to South Head Peninsula. When it's too hot, choose a shaded outdoor area in which to relax. The land is fenced into four practical paddocks which are easily managed and relatively easy care. The chook run is in excellent order and handy to the house for fresh Sunday morning eggs. Tucked privately down and away from the road, this property provides a serenely secluded setting, with sanctuary assured by electric gates and security cameras. Six minutes puts you in Kaukapakapa, twenty-five minutes in Silverdale, and outside of rush hour, 45 minutes gets you into Auckland CBD. Views like these aren't on offer every day and usually not with all the extras which have been built into this quality home. Get a slice of big sky and make your dream come true.
