156 Ara-Kotinga Whitford, Manukau City

In an area of unprecedented desirability for lifestyle living, this unique residence is surrounded by nature and designed with privacy in mind. Secluded at the end of a private driveway, this renovated cedar weatherboard home blends beautiful craftsmanship with warm organic elements.

The split-level design creates a sense of flow and connection throughout the open-plan living spaces. The kitchen, featuring sleek stone countertops and a generous island, strikes a perfect balance between social interaction and culinary function. Both living areas capture breathtaking rural vistas, while the second lounge and dining room provide an expansive setting for entertaining or cosy family moments by the warmth of the fireplace.

The master suite provides an oasis with a view and features a semi-ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, generously lit with natural light, come complete with built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Both bathrooms are finished with custom macrocarpa benchtops, adding a touch of rustic elegance.

Adding further appeal, the recently built two-bedroom cabin-complete with double glazing and a heat pump-provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or a work-from-home space.

Experience the best of rural living without the upkeep on this easy-care 3,100 square metre (more or less) site. Complete with fort, flying fox, swing, and plenty of room for a trampoline, families will love the entertainment factor.

For those seeking self-sufficiency, the property offers a chicken run (complete with chickens), a well-appointed greenhouse, and an orchard boasting avocado, plum, feijoa, grape, and mandarin trees-providing an array of fresh produce.
Practical features include two 50,000 litre water tanks, a workshop/garden shed, a double garage with internal access and a mezzanine floor for extra storage, as well as ample off-street parking.

Living in Whitford offers the perfect blend of serene countryside living with the convenience of urban amenities just a short drive away. Regrettably for sale, our vendors have adored every aspect of living here. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or a place to create family memories, this is a lifestyle that's highly sought after and seldom found.
