Just 10 minutes or so away from the motorway onramp, allowing easy access to Auckland city and the airport, this home completed in 2022 is located on a gently elevated 5629sqm lifestyle section in Karaka.
The property is perfectly positioned for relaxed country living and has been thoughtfully designed for modern lifestyles.
The owner says that it was his first build, and every single aspect of the plan was carefully considered. With clever use of space, the 266sqm house feels significantly larger and has been created with entertaining in mind.
What’s more, it also boasts a self-contained rumpus area with its own entrance, one bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, which is ideal for extended family or can simply be used as part of the main house.

Guests step straight into the heart of the home which includes a magnificent kitchen with scullery and open-plan living and dining, then leads towards the outdoor living at the rear, which is the height of luxury and includes an outdoor kitchen complete with built-in barbecue, sink and fridge.
“What I like is that I can come back from work to a low maintenance lifestyle block and house,” says the owner.
The 266sqm home on a 5629sqm section was completed in 2022 and is designed for relaxed country living.
The heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen with scullery and open-plan living and dining.
Huge windows allow full advantage of the lush, green, rolling views of the countryside and a crisp cool interior palette of white and grey serves to enhance the late afternoon light which streams through the house, providing an almost surreal effect.
The sunsets are spectacular, and the home is cosy on rainy days.
The owner says that one of his favourite features inside the property is how easy the interior is to maintain. There are commercial grade tiles throughout the house with a silky satin finish. It’s striking to look at, deliciously soft underfoot, easy to clean and environmentally friendly.
He says that this is a property that keeps on giving, and, sure enough, in addition to all these great attributes there’s a huge bonus in the form of an expansive, approximately 170sqm shed with 3-phase power.
The owner says that it’s a natural extension to the overall entertaining areas for family and friends, and in addition, provides ample space for recreational hobbies.

Unlimited Potential agent Charlotte Powdrell: “It has all the luxury of a resort, in a lifestyle setting.”
Charlotte Powdrell, from Unlimited Potential, says that this is a stunning property where a new owner can enjoy all the conveniences of a top-quality new-build and amenities without going through the onerous construction process.
“It has all the luxury of a resort, in a lifestyle setting. For example, there is a beautiful outdoor entertainment area with stunning views, a magnesium swimming pool, and the amenities of a high-end home. Then there is an expansive shed, a small paddock, and a chicken run.”
Local schools include Te Hihi School, Hingia Peninsula Primary and Strathallan College, making this peaceful hideaway ideal for a young family. There are around 25 varieties of fruit trees that have already been planted, and a various number of nut trees, and in addition native plants that are already beginning to flourish.
The owner says, “This is the most desirable part of Karaka and if I was building again, I don’t think I would change a single thing.”
