One of Parnell's most desirable homes in the 'best' of positions

Sitting on 944m2 of virtually flat land, originally built in around 1857 and recently rebuilt and modified for today’s family living, Emerald Lodge is an environment all its own in a key position above Hobson Bay.

Listed by the Historic Places Trust and updated in conjunction with them, the external structure of the main house looks very much as it originally did whilst the recent additions of modern living fit seamlessly with the original.

Today the family living of kitchen, dining and sitting areas is designed to take full advantage of the sun, the pool and wonderful garden beyond. There are three further living rooms on the ground floor all with original French doors opening to the front veranda, the garden and then views of Hobson Bay beyond. Upstairs there is a large master suite, two further bedrooms and family bathroom. Again lovely views of the Bay.

Above the four car garaging is another bedroom suite ideal for guests or a teenage retreat.

Facing Rangitoto to the north, the sun is with you all day. The size of the land plus the positioning of the house on it makes you feel you are in the middle of the country with a level of privacy that is most unusual.
