Surrounded by multi-million dollar residences, this terrifically-positioned home and newly subdivided 10 acre lifestyle block comes to the market for the first time. With privacy, views and aspect the four bedroom, three bathroom family home (plus spa pool), is set into a well landscaped elevated site, on 3 acres of productive land which includes a 163 tree olive grove.

With a warm, north-facing aspect, the property has glorious 270 degree sweeping views taking in Rangitoto, Whakanewha Bay and the pristine Whakanewha Reserve. Driving up invites a grand sense of anticipation. At the top there is ample off-street parking (for up to five vehicles) with plenty of turnaround area.

The well-laid out weatherboard home lends itself to an easy update or renovation. All upstairs living areas face the enviable water view, while the master bedroom offers a restful vista of the Reserve.

Flat, grassy lawn areas and terraced gardens popping with colour are set around the house allowing private outdoor living for downstairs guests, or safe areas for pets and children.

Continue to enjoy the olive oil produced annually from the gently sloping land in front of the house, or explore options to build visitor accommodation (or perhaps convert the work-shed). Bring your horse to graze, or your helicopter (with the right consents). The remaining 7 acres make up a covenanted bush block.

This is an unusually special property. There are few with its combination of north-west water views, productive lifestyle options, proximity to amenities, privacy - and potential.

The location is a 3 minute drive from Woodside or Whakanewha Bays, where you can take a dip at high tide away from throngs of tourists. Drive a comfortable 7 minutes to the new supermarket at Ostend.

Viewing by appointment. No viewings between December 23 and January 2. Viewings will resume January 3 (
