Uninterrupted Panoramic Harbour Views

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle in sought-after Seagrove Road. This beautiful architecturally designed home commands panoramic views over the Manukau Harbour in rural South/West Auckland. Elevated above the harbour on 5.2 hectares of mostly flat, well fenced land, this one of a kind home was almost completely re-built in 2006. The renovation, designed by award winning architect Steven Lloyd, is as solid in its construction as it is rich in timeless appeal. With a nod to mid-century modern style, the tilt slab concrete and cedar exterior compliments the light-filled, modern interior. Soaring ceilings supported by over-engineered steel portal frames create an impressive sense of strength and space. Solid American Oak flooring and built-in bespoke furnishings follow a mid-century vibe, and unique features include a 4 sided ceramic glass enclosed fireplace, and basalt and stainless steel bathrooms.

The 345sqm floor area allows for generous rooms, the living wing incorporates a large open plan kitchen, family room, with dining and living room surrounding the impressive fireplace. American Oak window seats, cabinetry and benches echo the warmth of the flooring and provide abundant storage. A library/office includes built-in shelving and cabinets and completes the living wing.

In the accommodation wing the master suite enjoys uninterrupted views of the harbour, and continues the theme with American Oak built-in wardrobes, cabinetry and bed-head, the unique basalt and stainless steel ensuite bathroom features a large pivot window so a shower or bath in the open air can be enjoyed. Three more generous family bedrooms are positioned to take advantage of sea and rural views and all include built-in wardrobes and cabinetry. A self-contained guest bed/sitting room is a more recent addition, but follows the style of the rest of the house and includes a tiled ensuite with accessible shower, hand-rails and non-slip flooring. Two further family bathrooms are also finished in basalt and stainless steel with polished concrete flooring; a separate utility/laundry room completes the main house.

Extensive outdoor patios and a covered outdoor living and bbq area provide the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the stunning views.

Complementing the home is a substantial shed, 224sqm architecturally designed and built in the same style as the house, featuring tilt slab concrete and cedar exterior. Tucked into the northern end of the space and taking in the panoramic harbour views is a self contained guest/hobby space featuring a mezzanine bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. A dedicated garden shed and storage area complete the northern end of the shed. Sliding cedar hangar doors open to reveal the 5.6 metre high workspace, which includes a vehicle hoist and overhead crane, and provision for 3 phase power. Whether it is extensive storage and parking for your collection, a space to create and tinker, or a giant man-cave you won't have to compromise on space!

The land is divided into 5 well-fenced paddocks, a productive orchard, raised vegetable and herb gardens, and along the western boundary a bank of developing native bush and a natural duck pond. Further infrastructure includes water troughs for all paddocks, cattle yards and loading ramp, 2 bay woodshed, haybarn and a 40ft container for extra storage. Water security is ensured with a shareholding in a bore which feeds all outdoor taps and troughs, and supplements the rainwater supply.

Seagrove Road is within easy reach of Waiau Pa Village shops and Waiau Pa School (full primary years 1-8) and Waiau Pa kindergarten, and a short drive from Clarks Beach and its amenities, including an 18 hole golf course and golf club, bowling club, restaurants and take-aways, safe swimming beaches, yacht club and boat ramps, playground and skate park.

Secluded and private with breathtaking views, this beautiful home and land offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of Auckland's most sought-after locations.
