Sir Ian Athfield Masterpiece - On Over An Acre
24 CHANNEL VIEW ROAD, CAMPBELLS BAY
VIEWINGS BY APPOINTMENT
Offering over an acre of land and an architectural timepiece, this can only be described as one of Auckland's most unique properties.
Designed by the renowned Architect Sir Ian Athfield who was known for his unconventional and playful style. This property was built for the Cole family in 1975 and features bottle towers and port holes, combined with varying ceiling heights and levels to create an utterly unique home.
The cedar weatherboard and rendered concrete home has a new shingle roof and the current owners have carried out significant improvements to the property replacing cedar joinery and double glazing.
Situated essentially on its own bush reserve, the property offers the ultimate resort-style living in complete privacy. A wide walk bridge crosses a stream that leads you to the home and front entrance. Once inside, the property offers a multitude of living areas and sunken conversation pits which open to decks, patios and the bush.
The property offers a total of five double bedrooms plus there is also a selection of smaller rooms which could be used as kids' breakout spaces or bedrooms if required. In addition, there are two main living areas for families being formal and informal spaces off the kitchen, plus an elevated mezzanine which is a great work-from-home office above the western lounge.
To the rear of the property is the heated swimming pool area with a spa, the perfect space to relax and entertain. Surrounded by a lawn area and schist paths to explore the property.
There is a double carport and a double garage which was built for the purpose of a boat with a high garage door. A semi-self-contained studio or fifth bedroom with a kitchenette and ensuite above the garage is a great feature for guests or teenagers.
A short walk to the beach and in zone for top schools, both Westlake girls and boys, Rangitoto College, Murrays Bay Intermediate, Mairangi Bay and Campbells Bay Primary.

Precision Real Estate MREINZ
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ
Andrew specialises in marketing homes on the Golden Mile between Milford and Takapuna and around the waterfront - both the sea and Lake Pupuke. He sees these areas as some of the finest real estate in the country, with always a strong demand for properties right across the price range.
In the last six consecutive calendar years, Andrew has sold over $100 million each year, at an average of $4,530,000 - one of the highest residentially in the Country. He holds the highest ever recorded sales in both Milford and Takapuna as well as Campbells Bay Beach, Campbells Bay Clifftop and Stanley Point (for a non-waterfront property). Andrew seldom accepts listings outside his speciality area and only does so if he genuinely believes he's the best person for the job.
Due to the number of clients who request confidentiality, he does a significant amount of business ‘off the market’. There have been many homes he has sold without the neighbours being aware. At the top end, there are large differences in where buyers see the value of property, he says, so he prefers to negotiate each transaction face to face, rather than selling by auction where there are risks when fewer people are in a cash unconditional position. Whilst he is renowned for dealing with higher-value properties, Andrew has also carved a niche within the seaward side streets in and around Milford and Takapuna, especially with the lock-up and leave market. He sees a strong correlation between larger homes and the downsizer market assisting those vendors with their next purchase.
Andrew lives in Audrey Road with his wife Sarah and two children, Ruby and Jack, and additionally has substantial commercial and residential holdings in the area, so he lives, breathes and believes in the core areas in which he sells.
If you are thinking of selling your home please contact Andrew for a confidential discussion.
