Upland House: Victorian elegance and rural couture

This grand dame could undoubtedly tell some great stories. Initially located at Upland Road in Remuera, it was later moved to Waimauku.

The tone is set with serene and rolling green vistas. Upland House offers a place to unwind and rejuvenate the soul. The stately and expansive grounds are a place to breathe and relax in your country retreat. Altogether incomparable, this estate offers a world of privacy and lifestyle in Waimauku's idyllic countryside. The land is a gently rolling tapestry of pocket orchards, eleven paddocks, wooded glades, shelterbelts and clipped lawns. It is set on approximately 14 acres and offers two entrances on Hamilton and Fletcher Roads in Waimauku.

This property exudes elegance upon entering through the marble pillars with wrought iron gates. The foyer showcases a stately kauri staircase and a chandelier composed of 42 lights, the first of many marvels. The upper level is reserved for the opulent bedrooms, including two primary suites, which are generous in size.

The uppermost terraced balcony is one of many alfresco connections you will enjoy. The resident suite includes a luxurious ensuite, walk-in wardrobe or nursery; one guest suite reveals an ensuite and a few supply ambient fireplaces.

Two formal living areas are characterised by lofty ceilings and flow to a terrace overseeing the expansive grounds and pool. The dining room is decadent, dramatic and moody, with French doors leading to the contemporary kitchen.

One will enjoy the internal access garaging, large enough to fit six Rolls-Royce with additional storage.

The meticulous vendors are well-acquainted with owning classic homes and have tastefully preserved the traditional aspects while embracing individual style and bespoke comfort. In all the spatial splendour and refurbished transformations, this is a homestead to enjoy, share and entertain with at whatever scale the occasion calls for.

A pond at the end of the property irrigates the land; this property lends itself to whatever the imagination or dream stretches to – be it your private golf course, weekend retreat, wedding venue or a spectacular home for the family to enjoy in class.

Upland House is a refined offering in the Auckland rural market. Initially purchased as a weekend house, it quickly became a permanent home and, now, after 15 years, they offer this magnificent property to the market for someone else to enjoy.
