An Estate Beyond Compare
Some properties are built for a lifetime. Others are built to stand the test of time.
Dating back to the late 1800s, this extraordinary residence was originally built for the Manager of the historic Victoria Battery. Rich in history and character, it is a property of remarkable significance, where more than a century of heritage meets the comforts of modern-day living.
Transformed through an extensive remodel by a previous owner, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined while retaining the grandeur and timeless appeal that make it so special.
Generous in both scale and presence, the residence offers six bedrooms, three bathrooms and an elegant formal living area, providing an exceptional setting for family life, entertaining and hosting guests. The home's impressive proportions and enduring character reflect an era of craftsmanship rarely seen today.
Beyond the residence, the grounds are equally captivating. Spanning just over one hectare across multiple titles (13, 15 & 18 Banks Lane + 50 Old Waitekauri Road), the property offers a remarkable combination of natural beauty, privacy and versatility.
A picturesque waterfall, established bush and open grazing land create an enchanting landscape, offering a sense of seclusion and tranquillity that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether exploring the grounds, enjoying the peaceful surroundings or simply appreciating the beauty of the setting, this is a place where life can be enjoyed at a different pace.
Practicality has not been overlooked, with a double garage complemented by a substantial workshop and loft space above, providing excellent options for storage, hobbies or creative pursuits. An additional double carport offers further covered parking, ensuring ample room for vehicles and equipment.
Properties of this calibre, with such a rich history, substantial landholding and extraordinary natural features, seldom become available.
More than a home, this is a piece of history, a private sanctuary and an opportunity to become part of its next chapter.
A truly once-in-a-lifetime offering.
