9 Vaughans Road, Okura, North Shore

Coastal country living - seriously for sale

Tucked away down a private, tree-lined driveway and framed by wide, flat lawns, rolling paddocks, fruit trees and flourishing gardens, this exceptional brick and cedar home offers the best of peaceful lifestyle living - all just minutes from East Coast Road, Northcross, Long Bay and a full range of local amenities.

Set on 3.6447 hectares and thoughtfully divided into seven paddocks for grazing animals, this spacious two-level home offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a generous ensuite), providing plenty of room for the next fortunate owners to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and family area is filled with natural light and connects seamlessly to the garden. A wetback wood burner keeps this central space cosy and inviting year-round - perfect for relaxed family living and entertaining. Peaceful views over the countryside extend toward the Hauraki Gulf, Whangaparaoa and rolling countryside, adding to the home's relaxed, rural feel.

The formal lounge with its retro copper fireplace offers a quiet retreat, while a third living space provides added flexibility - ideal as a media room, music room or teenage hangout. This room opens to a secluded outdoor area, perfect for a potential spa and evening relaxation under the stars. Solar panels with a storage battery and a heat pump in the master bedroom provide smart energy efficiency.

The oversized freestanding double garage is a true bonus, complete with a generous workshop. There's also an additional separate space that could be converted back to a bathroom, should you wish to create a self-contained studio (subject to council consent). A covered carport links the garage to the house, offering sheltered access in all weather.

Outside, the lifestyle continues to impress. There's a barn for storage or stock, a chook house with two friendly hens, established vegetable gardens and a variety of fruit trees that form a mini orchard right outside your door. Part of the land encompasses the stunning Okura Creek Bush Sanctuary - an area protected in perpetuity under a QEII National Trust covenant, ensuring this highly prized pocket of native bush remains preserved forever.

Astute buyers will recognise the exceptional opportunity here to 'land-bank' for the future. This is a rare chance to enjoy space, serenity and self-sufficiency - all within easy reach of top schools, beaches, shops and city connections.

After nearly 40 blissful years of ownership, our vendors have purchased their next home and are committed to selling. No ifs, buts or maybes - this stunning lifestyle property will be sold. Whether you're dreaming of more room to roam, space for the kids to grow, or a haven for your hobbies and passions, 9 Vaughans Road delivers the perfect balance of country calm and city amenities.
