For adventure seekers, local beaches, off-road trails, and skydiving are just 10 minutes away. Though it feels like a peaceful retreat, you're only 50 minutes from Auckland's CBD outside of rush hour, and still within the Auckland Council region-a rare combination of country living and city convenience. Parakai hot pools, shopping, and essential services in Helensville and Parakai are close by, along with the welcoming South Head community. A large double garage and workshop offer plenty of space for projects or storage, and yes, there's even room for a pony! This grand Georgian home is the perfect place to enjoy a luxurious, work-from-home lifestyle in a tranquil rural setting. Picture yourself celebrating Christmas here-your own peaceful paradise.
