WOODHILL
Woodhill House will appeal as an Inter-generational home
When the English owner of Woodhill House was a young boy he visited New Zealand relatives often and was quite taken by our wooden houses with their tin rooves.
So not surprisingly , when he and his wife came to live permanently in New Zealand they looked for a site to build a wooden house with a tin roof ! Here in the picturesque Waimauku countryside they found a 2.3 hectares site where they could orient a farm house around the mesmerising views that overlook Kaipara Harbour, the valley and the Kaipara River.
The views from this legacy property and the timeless quality of the build will capture your heart. Stunning stands of Kahikatea, Puriri and Kauri bring tuis , kereru and other bird-life to this country world that is only a 45 minute drive from Auckland CBD.
The owners asked Architect Brent Hulena to collaborate and help them design a home that honoured classical Georgian principles. Vistas from all four compass directions have been captured . The brief was to accommodate the owners art collection and their antique furniture.
The result is a gracious 20 year old beautifully built lodge like home of 432m of living and 147 metres of verandas that offers formal and informal living , four bedrooms , a study and the owners favourite room, the library. The master bedroom could be a self contained Apartment for elderly parents.
The garage is internally accessed and has a very large bedroom above it. A relative , a live in Nanny or fortunate teenager might cherish this space. This room is easily divided into two bedrooms.
This sanctuary overlooks a croquet lawn that was created under the supervision of NZ Sports and Turf Institute to ensure sufficient drainage and perfect contour. A deliberately hidden from view heated swimming pool sits below this lawn . You might be convinced this prized croquet lawn is suitable for marquees for romantic celebrations.
This desirable area of Auckland offers popular wedding venues , wineries, golf courses and Murawai beach .
There is the opportunity to purchase , perhaps at a later date , the parcel of approximately 2 hectares of land in front of the home. The very very end of Old North Road leading to Woodhill is a gravelled road , so you really will know you are in the countryside.
