Held in the same hands for over 40 years, this 2.08-hectare (5.14 acres approx.) property offers a rare sense of legacy - not just in ownership, but in the landscape it leaves for those who follow.

From the weeping maples and flowering cherries near the entrance to the century-old pear trees tucked beneath the bush line, the surroundings speak of care and time. With Walsh Creek alongside the boundary, native bush opens to a veiled waterfall, and a tranquil pond captures the slow turn of the seasons. Melias bring colour and kereru in season, while timbered natives - kauri, tanekaha, rimu, kahikatea, nikau - rise with quiet stature, grounding the space in permanence.

Sweeping lawns create space to pause, framed by decades of layered plantings that offer seasonal variation and established maturity. The encircling garden rooms provide more than beauty; they're a living archive, with Claret Ash, Magnolia Grandiflora, flowering cherries, redwoods, birch, and a curated mix of feijoa varieties unfolding across the grounds.

Sitting with quiet ease in its environment, the home reads as a natural extension of the land, with vaulted timber ceilings and a wood burner bringing comfort to the open-plan living and dining zone. Light pours in from every direction, enhanced by effortless outdoor links, with each of the four bedrooms spilling out to its own slice of the setting. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and sliding servery window, while the family bathroom features a bath and separate shower, rounding out a layout that's equal parts practical and inviting.

Located near Coatesville cafes and Primary school, whist a short drive to Albany Westfield, excellent schools including Kristin and Pinehurst school and motorway access to Auckland CBD.

This is a property to enjoy, extend, or completely reimagine, with its potential for subdivision (subject to council consent) adding future scope to an already storied setting.
