Nestled in a private and peaceful semi-rural setting just minutes from the motorway, this magnificent Karaka country retreat radiates elegance and quality at every turn.

A short 40 minute drive from Auckland’s CBD, 21 Whangapouri Road’s grand entrance greets you with soaring ceilings and an airy, open-plan living area. The home centres around a charming French country kitchen complete with ample storage and two Fisher and Paykel ovens— an entertainer’s paradise ideal for family gatherings and summer celebrations.

“The home is perfect for a family with vast grounds for the kids to play on, and enough space to install a pool. It’s an ideal backdrop for annual Christmas gatherings, birthdays or even some extra special like a backyard wedding” says Bayleys salesperson Stefni Baigent.

“Equally it would also suit a retired couple who love having the grandkids to stay.”

Adjacent formal lounge and dining areas provide additional sophisticated spaces for hosting or quiet relaxation, while abundant natural light flows into every corner of the home, enhancing a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

“It’s built for every season so you can enjoy its full potential even in the colder months. There are two gas fireplaces, underfloor heating, and a heat pump ensuring comfort all year round.”

Picturesque views of the established gardens and surrounding countryside frame almost every room. Take your pick of two master suites, each with an ensuite and walk-in robe, while two additional spacious bedrooms open to the outdoors through bi-fold doors and offer generous double wardrobes.

“Imagine waking up every morning, opening your curtains and being greeted by the vast farmlands. There’s a beautiful sense of peaceful serenity where you feel worlds away, but there’s also the hidden convenience of being so close to the motorway.”

A dedicated office space adds further versatility, making this home a true multi-functional retreat and quiet escape from the hustle of the city.

Outside, wrap-around decking and a lush lawn elevate the home’s exterior, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and recreation. A triple internal-access garage adds practicality, providing ample room for vehicles and extra hobbies.

“It could double as a workshop, storage or a gym. The possibilities are endless, with the space being a blank canvas you can truly make your own.”

The tree-lined driveway takes your breath away with an enchanting sense of arrival, while the property’s four paddocks provide the perfect foundation for outdoor adventures. “There’s more than enough space for kids to have their hobbies, whether that’s horse riding, or motorbiking. The surrounding farmers are also happy to have their animals graze the property's paddocks which makes for very low lawn maintenance too.”

Just minutes from Karaka School, Catholic School St Ignatious, Strathallan ACG, Pukekohe Golf Course, and the nearby town centres of Drury and Pukekohe, this breathtaking country home is the perfect blend of refined luxury and rural charm, offering both an idyllic lifestyle with the easy convenience of city living.
