8B Willow Lane, Stillwater, Rodney District, Auckland Country life with town convenience

Tucked away on an exclusive, private lane, this 2.1036 ha Stillwater estate celebrates all the peace, pace and privacy of country living, without the hard work. The incredibly spacious, single-level residence was designed and built by renowned David Reid Homes and boasts a suite of features and detailing that elevate it to the next level. You won’t need to sacrifice city conveniences when living in paradise, as Silverdale and the motorway onramp are just an easy, eight-minute drive from home.

A carriage driveway provides easy access and, along with triple internal garaging, there is plenty of room to park extra vehicles, a boat and campervan. Timeless solid Hinuera stone construction is enhanced with copper spouting and the well-considered floorplan provides the perfect space, separation and flow for family life.

High ceilings and generous proportions enhance the beautifully finished interiors and resplendent rural views are on display from every room. Clever design sees the chef’s kitchen and two living zones built in a U-shape around a central courtyard and outdoor fire. The kitchen features a large island and well-equipped scullery, while the more formal lounge and dining room has a seriously impressive, double-sided stone gas fireplace.

The restful master suite sits privately in its own wing at one end of the house and has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and garden access. The remaining four bedrooms are serviced by the fully-tiled family bathroom with large spa bath.

Outside, kids and pets can explore the sweeping lawns and landscaped gardens and there is room to put in a pool. The very accessible, gently sloping land is divided into fully-fenced paddocks and offers the ideal spot to house a pet horse or other farm animals.
