13 Dromorne Road is in a league of its own.
At a massive 1000sqm positioned on a 2228 square-metre estate in the heart of sought-after Remuera, this palatial mansion combines Asian tradition with modern living to create a sense of East-meets-West grandeur that must be seen to be believed.
Six ensuited bedrooms, five living areas, an expansive kitchen ‘wing’ comprised of three separate kitchens, a cinema, a 14-metre pool with spa and dry and wet saunas, four-car garaging, a putting green ... this is a seldom-seen opportunity to own a property that is truly something different.
The property is listed for sale by deadline private treaty with Sarah Liu of Bayleys Remuera. It has a 2021 RV of $11.6 million, of which $6.5m is the land value. According to OneRoof data, the property last changed hands in 2011 for $4m.

In 2011, 13 Dromorne Road in Remuera, Auckland, was a flat section of land with an existing property on it. When the current owners laid their eyes on it, they knew it was the ideal location to build a sprawling family home for them and their growing sons.
The heart of the home is an internal courtyard that draws on the traditional Siheyuan architectural concept often seen in wealthy Chinese homes from as long ago as 2000 years.

The zen-like courtyard allows air and light to pour into the home while providing a tranquil, private space for the family to relax and connect with each other. Contemporary interiors are furnished with beautiful imported stone, high-quality details, sparkling chandeliers, gas fires, ducted heating, a music system and CCTV throughout.
When it comes to the kitchen, there is only one worthy descriptor for its scale: palatial.
In fact, the kitchen is actually three kitchens – a Korean BBQ station, a traditional Chinese cooking kitchen and a Western kitchen – which means just about every cuisine under the sun can be catered for, all at the same time if you wanted. The cherry on the top of the kitchen is the spectacular wine cellar with room to store thousands of bottles of fine wine.
While the home is remarkable, the location was also a key motivator. All sons attended the exclusive King’s School which is an easy five-minute walk down the road. It’s also within walking distance to St Cuthbert’s and Diocesan and in-zone for both Grammar schools, making this part of Remuera a coveted address.

Charming Remuera Village is a short stroll away, Newmarket’s shops and restaurants are a few minutes’ drive, and there’s easy access to the motorway for a quick CBD commute.
Bayleys agent Sarah Liu says the opportunity to secure this quality and magnitude of home is unprecedented.
“This majestic mansion embodies luxury and cultural elegance – it’s a rare gem on the market,” she says. “It isn’t just a home; it’s a statement of grandeur. Its strategic location within walking distance to some of Auckland’s top schools adds to its desirability. This home really is one-of-a-kind.”
While the owners loved their time in Remuera, they now spend most of their time overseas so it’s time to bid farewell to their beloved family home and offer another family the opportunity to love it like they have.
