The Grange. One of Auckland’s earliest and most distinguished grand homes, a rare legacy estate combining heritage, scale, and future opportunity.

Originally built in 1865 for an official overseeing Auckland’s early development, the villa features strong American influence and original detailing. Once a landmark at 2 Epsom Avenue, it was meticulously relocated in 1990 to its current Wainui setting, now occupying nearly 54 hectares just 30 minutes from Auckland’s CBD. Coincidentally, it again sits perfectly balanced between the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean, with the lights of Auckland’s Sky Tower visible at night.

Spanning approximately 632 sq m (more or less). In 2006, renowned architect Terence Hitchcock sympathetically adapted the original homestead to incorporate some modern amenities that took advantage of the north-facing rural views. Including a conservatory, kitchen and family room, together with 3 car garaging and main suite above. Throughout, the home offers high ceilings, wide verandas, sun-filled living spaces and at it’s heart a graceful conservatory which frames the beginning of what are continuous expansive rural views across rolling pasture and trees.

A grand tree-lined driveway and secure gated entrance lead to beautifully established gardens, originally designed by Michael Burton, with mature hedging, rose gardens, fruit trees and resident white doves creating a tranquil, romantic estate setting.

The landholding offers exceptional versatility. Fertile paddocks currently graze cattle and sheep, while a productive hay paddock yields approximately 2,000 bales per summer. Significant native forest, including mature kauri, provides a haven for kererū, tūī and kākā.

Equestrian facilities include a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena, stabling for six horses, tack room, wash bay and large implement sheds. Three-car garaging with accommodation above adds further flexibility.

There is a separate Title for what has been developed as Lot 10. Plus three additional one-hectare sections which have been consented for subdivision. Adding further land investment potential to the Estate.

Meticulously maintained and rich in provenance, The Grange stands as one of Auckland’s most compelling lifestyle and investment offerings. A true legacy estate for generations to come.
