OPEN HOME: Sun, 7 Dec 3:00pm - 3:30pm

Welcome to 63 Brooklands Road, Atawhai. This beautiful 4 bedroom home has breathtaking views across Tasman Bay. It sits within an urban section of native bush minutes away from the city centre and less than 5kms away (as the Kaka flies) from The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary.

The majority of this 3000sqm section has been extensively planted in native trees. The area closest to the house has been developed into a small orchard and vegetable garden, all designed to be low maintenance while maximising productivity.

About the home...

On the main floor, the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, designed with the chef in mind. The large, separate scullery provides further workspace and storage options.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area offers a seamless flow for entertaining guests or enjoying intimate family meals. Alternatively, just step outside to enjoy meals on the extensive decking while taking in the vistas. The addition of a louvred roof affords the option of outdoor dining with shelter from the elements.

The impressive lounge, which flows on from the dining area has expansive views and additional access to the decking. On this level there are two double bedrooms. The master bedroom has superb views over the bush to Tasman Bay and beyond. It has a cleverly concealed walk-in robe and private access to the decking area. The stylish designer bathroom features both a bath and shower. The conveniently separate toilet with basin and one of the two laundries are adjacent.

There is direct entry to the fully lined double garage from this floor.

Downstairs there are more stunning views and options abound. Consider an Air BnB, extended family living, large work from home space or independent living for teenagers. With two double bedrooms, the downstairs comes complete with a kitchenette/dining/ lounge area, bathroom/toilet and its own laundry. It also has a private deck with separate outside access.

Underneath the house the owners have created a large space as a workshop area with ample storage.

Take a delightful wander through the productive garden and orchard and you will find the "She Shed" nestled in amongst the trees. A serene place to read, craft or just simply relax. The loft area, complete with comfortable double bed, is ideal for those wanting to stay a little longer. The kitchenette and composting toilet add to the convenience of this space.

Parking is a breeze with two-car garaging, a carport, and internal access to the upper floor, ensuring convenience and security. Street-level walk on access via the garage or path through the garden, adds to the property's accessibility.

The current owners have maintained the house well and modernised extensively. Improvements include double glazing, four heat pumps and solar panels.

All of this, right on your doorstep and only approximately 10 mins along the cycle way by bike to the CBD. Or catch a bus at the convenient stop at the bottom of the hill.

About the bush...

The current owners have done the hard work of weed clearance and have planted hundreds of native trees since 2014. The 3,000sqm section is at the exciting stage where the trees are well above head height and “holding hands” creating shade. The birds are flocking in! Tui, Korimako, Kereru, Piwakawaka, Riro Riro, Tahou, Weka, Pipiwharauroa, Ruru and Karearea all visit, along with a growing population of skinks. An extensive network of paths criss-crossing the hillside enables easy access to the bush to make the option of trapping easy.

Maintenance has become minimal now the trees are shading out the weeds. There are several bench seats giving plenty of places to simply sit and enjoy the birdsong and the view through the trees. When planting, species were selected with consideration given to the original bush cover of the area while also providing biodiversity to help ensure food and cover for the birds over the full year.

This section, particularly when taken together with neighbouring areas of bush, will form a significant link in the chain of habitats further enhancing the “halo effect” from the Waimarama sanctuary.

This is your opportunity to own part of a wider area of bush along this sea facing hillside which is being nurtured by other conservation minded neighbours.


The vendors have seized their retirement dreams so their much loved home is now available for the next owners to enjoy. This is your opportunity to make this dream home your reality and to be a part of something significant.
