Mapping out generous dimensions was a crucial step in planning this grand estate, which exudes a resort-like luxury in Henderson’s most prestigious area.
Homeowners Wayne and Vicki secured the last vacant lot for Wayne’s brother to build them their luxury 412sqm home.
Vicki says: “This property has been our dream home for 17 years, with our little boy having the privilege of a private school opening on our doorstep. Building and project-managing the entire construction of our stunning home.”
Wayne says: “My wife has a lot of creative flair so we meticulously designed the layout ourselves, arranged around very private, resort-like outdoor living.”

The sprawling brick-and-block residence is elegantly positioned deep within its gated grounds, far removed from neighbouring properties. Enveloped by towering mature trees, it offers an unrivalled sense of seclusion and serenity.
“We wanted everything to be just right so we took our plan to the beach and stepped out all the dimensions to make sure it was perfect. People assume we’ve just renovated but much of the presentation today is down to investing heavily at the outset and doing everything to the highest possible standard.”
A sweeping, roundabout-style driveway enhances the estate’s grandeur, with stately plantings. At its primary entrance, guests can step from their vehicles beneath an elegant portico entrance.

Vicki says: “I, as a young girl, could only dream of living on this street, it is an achievement I’ll forever cherish. The memories of our little boy playing amidst the grounds, to now a young man with the privacy of his own wing.”
Stepping through grand double entry doors, the breathtaking foyer unfolds into an opulent open-plan living, seamlessly merging with an entertainer’s dream kitchen.
Offering a separate master suite wing on one end of the home and guest rooms and apartment-style living for their son on the other.
Beyond, vast openings invite a seamless flow to the spectacular pool area, creating the resort-like ambiance at the heart of this exceptional home that Vicki and Wayne masterfully created.
“The sound of gorgeous tūīs with our morning coffee. The calls of native birds initially drew us to this beautiful site, helping us envision the oasis we always knew it could be.

“Our family’s love of travel heavily influenced the architecture of this magnificent property. The outdoor artwork emanates our love of Aotearoa and its beautiful wildlife.”
This address is just minutes from top-tier schools like Summerland Primary and Western Heights Primary, as well as shopping, dining, and transport options. It’s an easy walk to the Sturges Road Train Station.
Harcourts agent Nicky Malloy says: “You know you’ve ‘made it’ when you live in Burgundy Park – it’s a privilege to bring an estate of this calibre to the market.”
The family have enjoyed an extraordinary lifestyle here for 17 years but now move on to build again.
7 Burgundy Park Avenue in Henderson Heights, Waitakere, Auckland, is on the market for sale by deadline, closing April 9.
