The property is zoned for popular Hingaia Peninsula School (decile 10), which is a mere 0.5km away while older children can attend Rosehill College.

127 Hingaia is surrounded by other similarly high-end lifestyle properties, with horse studs, dairy and sheep farms in the mix, and although it’s very private, the property is still very much part of the local community, which is friendly and welcoming.
Ally Phillips, from Harcourts Papakura, is marketing this spectacular property along with colleague Maxine Van Den Berg.
She says that an offering of this standard is incredibly rare, and the property is already attracting significant interest from a variety of potential buyers.
“It’s in a class of its own, with the heated pool, central climate control and the barbecue area, plus a glasshouse area where green-fingered owners could grow their own fruit and vegetables.”
Phillips adds that although the current owners haven’t used the glasshouses, their sturdy framing means that they could be put back into use fairly easily. The owners are committed to their future plans and very motivated to sell.
