99 Parakiore Road, Whangarei

Whangarei's most talked-about residence - and every bit as extraordinary as its reputation suggests. Perched on an elevated site in Ngararatunua, Kamo West, this magnificent three-storey, 776 sq m chateau commands sweeping views across Whangarei city to the harbour, set within 3.49 ha (8.6 acres) of rolling Northland countryside. From the moment you pass through the wrought iron security gates and ascend the sweeping asphalt drive framed by Paradise Stone retaining walls, it is clear this is a property unlike any other.
