Landmark Coatesville mansion estate for sale

One of New Zealand’s most distinguished and opulent properties is now for sale.

The well-known English-style country estate in Coatesville has been listed by Christina Tang at Barfoot & Thompson, and is being marketed as offering luxury living as well as potential development opportunity.

“This is an exciting opportunity to own a property that is absolutely beyond compare in the New Zealand market,” says Barfoot & Thompson residential and rural salesperson Christina Tang.

“The one-of-a-kind home is grand in every way, from its commanding entrance to its most private living spaces, while the grounds provide for never-ending views, activities and development potential.”

The expansive 2,375m2 of living space is described as “lavish in scope and luxurious in detail”. There are 12 well-appointed bedrooms including seven ensuites, with the master bedroom featuring a glittering mirrored walk-in wardrobe, dressing circle and its own Olympic-sized lap pool.

“The formal and informal living areas in the home have been designed for both comfortable family living and premium entertaining.

“There is something for everyone’s interests – a wine cellar, a library, a billiards room, a present wrapping room, an outdoor pool and hot pool, and tennis courts to name just a few.”

A separate building to the east of the main house provides garaging for up to ten vehicles, and includes the ‘cottage’ quarters and ‘the barn’ – a special living and play space for the children of the home.

The four-level mansion was designed by renowned architectural designer Greg Noble and masterfully constructed over four years, becoming notable as one of the country’s grandest and most expensive property builds of its time.

Mr Nobel says: “Our brief was to create a substantial yet warm and intimate, traditional English house and gardens in the New Zealand countryside. Architectural proportion and detail, and understated English charm and elegance would be essential features in making this a home for year round comfort and ease and a timeless classic. It was an absolute joy to create.”

Located within a private and affluent enclave of rural lifestyle properties in Auckland’s north-west countryside, the home enjoys intimate ornamental gardens and expansive park-like grounds and is just a 20 minute off-peak drive to the city.

Barfoot & Thompson’s Christina Tang says that there is scope under the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan for subdivision and further development of the stunning 22.635 hectares of land.

Interested buyers can view the listing at www.barfoot.co.nz/564136. The property is for sale by tender, closing 4pm Thursday 21 April 2016.
