set within approximately 2.55 hectares of pristine, manicured grounds, this exceptional whitford estate represents a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, interior refinement, absolute privacy and uncompromising quality, meticulously created and maintained by an owner for whom excellence was non-negotiable.
designed by renowned architect andrew patterson, the residence is complemented by interiors curated by barbara westbrook of westbrook interiors, delivering a timeless aesthetic that balances warmth, scale and understated luxury. stone, timber, bespoke joinery and expansive glazing are layered throughout, creating spaces that feel both grounded and enduring while framing sweeping rural and water views across the surrounding countryside.
the main residence spans approximately 900 sqm and unfolds as a series of refined living and entertaining zones. generous formal and informal spaces flow seamlessly to sun-drenched terraces, an infinity swimming pool and tranquil water features, ideal for both large-scale entertaining and everyday living. an underground wine cellar, multiple fireplaces and exceptional detailing throughout further underscore the calibre of the build.
accommodation is equally impressive. the main home offers four luxurious bedrooms as currently configured, with multiple additional rooms that provide flexibility for further bedroom accommodation if required, including an outstanding primary suite, while a fully self-contained three-bedroom guest cottage of approximately 259 sqm provides exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests or staff, finished to the same meticulous standard as the primary residence. together, the estate delivers a total built area of approximately 1,159 sqm, offering a sense of scale rarely found in whitford.
every element of the property reflects thoughtful planning and exacting care, from the established landscaped grounds and shelter belts to the integrated garaging, workshops and extensive parking. this is a property where nothing has been overlooked and nothing needs to be done.
privately positioned yet superbly connected, the estate sits within easy reach of whitford village, pine harbour marina, formosa golf resort, elite schooling, auckland cbd and the international airport. waiheke island is just minutes away by helicopter or 15 minutes by ferry.
offered to the international market, 42 porterfield road is a true generational estate, one that will resonate with buyers seeking substance, provenance and enduring quality rather than trend-led design.
