Back to Listing ResultsPrivate Estate; Wellington's Best Kept Secret
Waitakaro - Playful Waters. Named for the stream that winds through this land. For over forty years one of Wellington's most private addresses, designed by Arc Design's Ananth Sharma with one uncompromising brief - quality, excellence, and a home that sits within its surroundings rather than imposing upon them. Now, for the first time, it is offered to the market.
1.13 hectares across three stream-woven parcels. Established trees. Landscaped gardens. Open lawn. Five outdoor entertaining spaces and a wraparound deck - all completely hidden from the road, just 13 kilometres from Wellington's CBD.
At 380m², this single-level home is designed to be experienced. Marble floors, skylights, high stud ceilings and underfloor heating throughout every marble surface. The heart of the home is a spectacular 10 x 7 metre kitchen, dining and living space with a gas fireplace and full-height bifold doors opening the entire north-facing wall to the deck and landscape beyond.
The master suite is a private residence within the home - a generous bedroom opening to the deck, dual ensuites, powder room, walk-in wardrobe and the library: a bespoke living space with kitchenette and glass cabinetry, convertible to a fifth bedroom or study. The north wing mirrors that independence - bedroom suite, living area, spectacular bathroom and separate external access.

Be in awe of the grand proportions this amazing space commands. This allows the room to be used as three separate spaces with the lounge and dining at one end, while the kitchen – equally as impressive in its own right is located at the other. Either way, this is hosting central or an intimate retreat in equal measure – and don’t forget that you can pull back the bi-fold doors to access the outdoor entertainment area that spans the Northern side of the home.
Second Living Area: This area provides all the space you could wish for – the mind boggles at all its potential uses. This could be a theatre room, rumpus or games room or a second informal lounge for the kids to unwind in. With direct access out to the entertainment area, this will be a popular room indeed.
Located between the kitchen and lounge area, this is a super spot for the family to come together at mealtimes or to oversee the kids doing their homework or reading while the adults are in the kitchen, living area or lounge discussing at length the day’s hot topics.
The chef of the home will find whipping up endless culinary delights a pleasure in this sleek, entertainer’s designer kitchen. Complete with six-hob gas cooking, its granite bench tops and high-end Smeg and Samsung appliances, such as the plumbed in fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher and kitchen island with seating for six at the breakfast bar. This is one space that oozes class and sophistication at each turn.

What an outdoor space, and certainly every parent’s dream to have a safe, enclosed and private outdoor area. Whether it be the kids, pets or adults – everyone’s going to enjoy mooching between one of five outdoor entertaining spaces that the multiple bi-folds doors offer, while behind the picket fence resides a leveled, lawned area big enough for a family and friends football match or the hosting of a wedding!
