357 McLachlan Road, Kaukapakapa, Rodney, Auckland

**OPEN HOME 12th April CANCELLED** Set well back from the road, down a long country drive, 357 McLachlan Road offers a sense of space and separation that suits families wanting to live close while maintaining their own routines and independence. Positioned to take in wide views over the Kaipara Harbour, the property feels removed from the day-to-day pace of town living. The drive in creates a clear transition from work and school life to home, and the homes themselves are oriented to maximise outlook rather than focus on neighbours. The property includes two fully consented, self-contained homes, each with its own outlook, outdoor living, and sense of separation. Whether it's parents and adult children, blended families, or family plus income, the layout works because each household has its own space, not just an extra wing. The main home is open and welcoming, with high ceilings, strong indoor-outdoor flow, and a private-feeling master suite. The second home is more than ancillary accommodation. It is a complete dwelling, ideal for extended family living independently, or for those wanting flexibility around guests or income. Decks and outdoor living areas are positioned to capture the harbour views, with established lawns and bush helping define spaces between the homes. The setting prioritises outlook, light, and breathing room rather than density. Being set back from the road adds to the sense of calm, with minimal passing activity and a feeling of arrival once you're home. Additional

features include a saltwater pool, double garage, large shed, and year-round comfort with double glazing, fireplaces, and heat pumps. This is a practical solution for families wanting shared land, shared time, and separate homes, in a

location that offers scale, views, and flexibility within commuting distance of Albany.
