176 Access Road, Kumeu

Set on approximately 2.29 hectares of flat to gently contoured land, 176 Access Road captures the essence of modern country living, architectural design, open space, and peaceful surroundings combined with a future of exciting potential. Originally an established home, the property was significantly extended and reimagined by Jones Architects in 2013, resulting in a residence that is both timeless and contemporary. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance light, space, and comfort. The home was recognised in the 2013 Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards, with Allan Wallace Builders Limited receiving Gold Reserve recognition for excellence in workmanship, creativity, innovation, and future-proof renovation. At the heart of the home lies the Arclinea kitchen, fitted with Miele appliances and crafted to a standard rarely found outside Europe. It anchors the home’s expansive open-plan living and dining zones, which flow to multiple outdoor entertaining spaces overlooking manicured lawns and mature plantings. An inviting outdoor fireplace creates a warm focal point for evening gatherings, while the resort-style heated pool, complete with its own changing room and W/C connects seamlessly to the outdoor living areas — the perfect setting for effortless year-round entertaining. The main home offers five bedrooms ( plus office) including a beautifully appointed master suite with ensuite, and a mix of formal and casual living areas designed for modern family life. A self-contained studio apartment with its own entrance provides the flexibility every family values - ideal for guests, extended family, or work-from-home arrangements. Outside, the land is divided into well-fenced paddocks, framed by established trees and shelter belts for privacy. The grounds are easy to maintain yet beautifully landscaped, offering scope for equestrian, hobby, or lifestyle use. Located just minutes from Kumeu Village, motorway access, and top schooling options, this property delivers a lifestyle of both convenience and tranquility.
