There’s something special about homes that sit against the bushline — a calm you can’t recreate and the feeling of being far from the city, even when you’re only minutes away. That’s exactly what this Totara Heights family home delivers: nature, privacy and space wrapped into one inviting package.

Set on a generous 970sqm section in one of the area’s most established pockets, this four-bedroom residence blends modern comfort with tranquil surroundings. The open-plan living zone feels seamlessly connected to the outdoors, with large sliders opening to an expansive deck nestled amongst mature native trees. It’s a versatile space made for family dinners, casual get-togethers and long weekends with the people who matter most.

The upgraded kitchen, dining and lounge form the social heart of the home — a place where cooking, conversation and connection go hand in hand. A wood burner enhances the cosy atmosphere in cooler months, while heat pumps and a ventilation system ensure year-round comfort.

Accommodation includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, giving flexibility for families, guests, home working or teenagers seeking their own space. The primary suite is a standout: a private retreat with deck access and a spa-style ensuite featuring a deep soaking tub overlooking native bush — a daily moment of luxury and pause.

Outdoors, the section caters to both adventure and relaxation. There’s lawn area for kids and pets, established greenery, and scope to personalise if gardening is your passion. A large carport and ample off-street parking add everyday practicality.

Totara Heights is highly sought for its elevated position, leafy outlooks and convenience — close to the Auckland Botanic Gardens, local parks and walkways, schooling options, Southmall, Manukau Transport Hub and easy access to SH1 and SH20.
