Kauri Ridge Estate 481 Redoubt Road Auckland, Auckland 2019 Nouvelle-Zélande

Handsome schist pillars hint at the grandeur of the magnificent luxury estate on the 4.5 acre property beyond the gates. Of a mind-blowing scale, this superbly presented 580 sq m hideaway comes with separate 10 car garaging, in addition to the three car internal garage. A car collector's heaven!

At the highest point in Redoubt Road, the exceptionally comfortable, high quality, modern home rises from fully irrigated grounds with 360 degree views - resembling a country lodge resort, the design enables large scale entertaining, upstairs and down. Grand lounges with twin gas fires and cedar ceilings act as majestic viewing platforms linked by a dining area and gourmet kitchen. Expansive decks look across the extravagant pool/gym complex with its own kitchen and bathroom to Auckland and its harbours.

An enormous party room downstairs with kitchen and bar extends to a sun-drenched terrace and an outdoor fireplace. Fitted with state of the art electronics, the home is ultra-cosy warmed by underfloor heating and central heating. All bedrooms boast views but the main bedroom in its own large wing boasts an almost surreal view over the valley.

Kauri Ridge Estate is a breathtaking sanctuary finely tuned for an incredible lifestyle - just 10 minutes to Manukau and a convenient 25 minute drive along the motorway to Auckland's vibrant metropolitan heart.
