Coming soon…

I get to see some pretty amazing views at the homes I represent but this one hits differently.

Retreat from city life to 2.35 hectares, with a 180-degree northern outlook across to Waiheke, Rangitoto and the Coromandel under an hour from Auckland city.

Native bush, with weka wandering the lawn. A pool and spa set to the view. A self-contained guest house. A sunny spot for every part of the day, from the first coffee to the last light over the water.

Launching soon by International Tender.
Message me to see it first.

I spent time walking through this home last week, and I keep thinking about the doors.

The walls curve in this house, so the doors had to curve with them. Every single one was made to fit its opening. It sums the place up.

The stone is Timaru bluestone, cut and laid by hand. The beams are solid hardwood, reclaimed from old telegraph poles and bridges in Australia. There is a w**e cellar designed to hold its temperature all year, wrought iron made for the house, and lighting set into the stonework so the walls glow at night.

Outside, just over a hectare runs down through mature native planting to the estuary. Almost every room looks out over the water.

Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a guest wing, shed and a second living room, so work, guests and family life each have their own space. Arrival is through a cherry tree lined drive and from there it feels a long way from Auckland while staying well connected to it.

Every home has a moment waiting to be found. Here there are dozens.

Open Home 12 - 12.30pm Sunday 18th October 2026

Deadline sale closes 4pm Thursday 12th November 2026.

If you know someone who would love this, I’d be grateful if you passed it on.

ASB’s latest projection suggests New Zealand property values may not revisit 2021 peaks until 2030.

Headlines like that often freeze people in place, particularly when upcoming elections encourage a wait-and-see mindset.

For move-up buyers looking at lifestyle property, buying and selling in the same market creates a clear financial advantage.

When you upgrade in a softer market, the dollar spread matters more than the percentage. A 10% adjustment on a higher-value acreage property saves you significantly more capital than what you concede on the sale of an urban home. The gap required to step up into lifestyle living is smaller today than it was at the peak.

Waiting years for speculative market highs or election cycles often costs more in missed opportunities than making a well-calculated transition today.

If you are considering an upgrade in Clevedon or South East Auckland, I am always here for a confidential discussion.

Now rolling in Drury and Paerata 🚊

Auckland’s two newest train stations are now open and have opened up a lot of rural South Auckland for commuters.

If you work in town and you’ve been considering buying a lifestyle property but have always been put off by dealing with the rush hour commute to the city this could be your solution.

94 Sowerby Heights is an easy 20 minute drive to Drury Train Station which has just opened and offers commuters a convenient way to get to work and skip rush hour. This opens up a new rural corridor for commuters who have previously thought Hunua, Ararimu and Drury are just too far from work. Park and ride facilities are a well thought out addition.

In addition, Stevenson’s Drury South Crossing industrial and residential hub and Kiwi Property’s metropolitan town centre with Costco, Harvey Norman and Briscoe’s already signed up. It’s projected that there will be over 30,000 local jobs over the next 30 years.

Projections indicate that the wider Drury growth area is ultimately expected to support a population comparable in scale to that of a city the size of Napier, reflecting the extraordinary level of demographic and urban expansion already underway.
