There are places that soften the noise of the world the moment you arrive.
43 Barrett Road is one of them — a 6.5-hectare (16 acres) estate that feels quietly removed yet remains close to everything that matters. For families living between continents and commitments, this property offers the rare gift of space, privacy and deep calm, all within 25 minutes of Auckland’s CBD.


Completed in 2019, the 645 sq m residence stands with a kind of European permanence seldom found in New Zealand. Solid concrete and masonry construction gives the home a grounded, enduring presence. Italian beams, artisan stonework and imported tiles — deliberately weathered for character — create interiors that feel timeless rather than new. Light moves through wide living spaces that open onto terraces, manicured lawns and the warm rhythm of mature gardens shaped and maintained by a specialist team. Underfloor heating throughout lends a quiet comfort that is felt immediately.


The estate has been designed for real living. For entertaining that unfolds naturally. For family and friends who arrive and never want to leave. The heated pool, spa, lit tennis court, shaded pergolas and generous outdoor rooms extend the day long into the evening. The vegetable garden, fruit trees, protected specimens and fully irrigated grounds offer beauty with ease. Everything feels established, authentic and ready.


For equestrian families, this is a complete environment.
Seventeen secure, well-fenced paddocks give horses — from broodmares to competition mounts — safety and structure. The professional stable complex includes mare and foal boxes, heat lamps, wash bays, tack and feed rooms, hay storage and dedicated truck parking. A full Olympic-dimension arena supports serious training, while nearby Riverhead Forest opens out to kilometres of riding trails. This is an estate built not for show, but for purpose.


What surrounds the property enriches it further.
Riverhead and Coatesville are among Auckland’s most desirable lifestyle regions — private, green, quietly prestigious. Award-winning restaurants, vineyards and country cafés are minutes away. Muriwai Beach, with its dramatic black sands, surf breaks and horse-riding trails, lies within easy reach. World-class golf awaits at Huapai. And the major retail, medical, commercial and industrial hubs of Westgate and Spedding are only ten minutes from the gate — close enough to serve you, far enough to feel a world away.


International and seasonal owners will appreciate the ease of custodial living here. A self-contained studio provides ideal staff or groom accommodation, allowing the estate to be maintained to the highest standard whether you are in residence or abroad. The home is always ready — warm, immaculate, welcoming.


Overseas buyers may require OIO approval, and we are well-equipped with expert guidance. The property’s established equine activity may provide supportive pathways for genuine lifestyle purchasers. With New Zealand’s favourable exchange rate, the value on offer is significant.


43 Barrett Road is not just a property — it is a quietly extraordinary estate, offering privacy, permanence, and a lifestyle of comfort and purpose. For those seeking a place where home, family, horses and peace converge, this is as rare as it is refined.
