19 Valley Road, Waitoki

Photographs can show you the home, the arena and the stables. What they cannot show you is how this land feels underfoot, and that is something you need to experience for yourself. Near level and well fenced from boundary to boundary, every paddock here can be walked, ridden or mown without a second thought. It is a quality many lifestyle buyers search for and seldom find. Your visit begins with a choice of gates. The first, with its own in and out entry and a sweeping circular turnaround, is made for horse floats and visitors, and sits beside the original cowshed, now converted to storage. The second, further along Valley Road, belongs to the home alone. Horses and guests arrive by one, while family life carries on undisturbed behind the other. The residence sits on a single level, framed by wide lawns and gardens. Inside, an open plan kitchen, dining and family room draws everyone together before opening onto a broad deck, while a separate lounge offers somewhere calmer to close the door on a long day. The main bedroom is a generous suite, and three car garaging with internal access brings you straight inside from the car. For riders, everything is ready to use. The arena sits close to undercover stables and yards, and a well-kept track runs from the upper paddocks down to both, so mornings begin in the saddle rather than on the long walk to it. Mature specimen trees stand across the property, and in autumn they turn the paddocks to copper and gold. An orchard, a greenhouse for early seedlings and a garden shed complete the picture for anyone who loves to grow their own. Waitoki Village is only minutes away, and Silverdale is conveniently close, placing shops, cafés and the Northern Motorway within a short drive. The property is zoned Rural Industry Zone A, and we encourage buyers to make their own enquiries with Auckland Council regarding permitted uses. Some homes can be understood from a listing. This is not one of them. Walk the paddocks, stand beneath the trees in the late afternoon light, and see how effortlessly it all works together. Who lives in a house like this? You do.
