They say your home is your castle, and for a French provincial styled home in Coatesville, the saying certainly rings true.

Standing tall at the top of hill, the property at 197 Ridge Road overlooks leafy paddocks leading to clear views of the Sky Tower – a stunning and rare juxtaposition in Auckland.

In a city where space is a commodity, this unique find sprawls over approximately 2.2 hectares with a heated horizon swimming pool, spa pool, triple garage and epic children’s play area.

Furthermore, there is no shortage of space inside with five bedrooms, three living areas and four bathrooms spread over two levels. Hardwood floors, light rooms and soft furnishings offer a French inspired country elegance with a modern twist.

The designer kitchen adorned with marble tops and equipped with induction hobs will motivate any culinary king or queen to have a go at mastering macarons.

What lies beyond the bifold, glass doors in the kitchen is the standout feature for Bayleys sales agent James Bailey.

“The entertainment area is just so lovely,” Mr Bailey says.

Entertaining can happen in this space all year around thanks to the louvretec roof, outdoor fire place and television, and for that Kiwi touch, a built-in BBQ.

Mr Bailey refers to the home as a “turn key” property after the current vendors completed a total renovation within the last five years. It means the new owners won’t have to lift a finger to live in both comfort and style.

All you need is the brie, a bottle of red and good company, and voilà.

“This is a luxury residence and ideal for people who are at that next level on the purchasing ladder and wanting a property that has everything done,” Mr Bailey says.

If you want to feel like you live in the country, but not actually live in it, then Coatesville is the perfect suburb.

The property is minutes from popular cafes and a short drive to Westfield Shopping Centre in Albany, as well as a number of good decile and private schools.

The suburb also has easy access to both the northern motorway and the north western motorway.

“Coatsville ticks a lot of boxes because it isn’t that far from the city – we are talking a 25 to 30 minute commute off-peak,” Mr Bailey says.
