Originally built in 1860, the villa has been restored with good heating and outdoor entertainment area. There is even a paved barbeque area. A shower and 2 toilets, a workshop and an extra lounging room in addition to the large ornate bedrooms make this property worth the $595,000. It's even got a nice white picket fence!

The Browning Street Villa in Auckland is a beautifully finished double bay brick affair. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, massive living room, laundry room, pavilion and a swimming pool, this property is a great choice.
Extensive outdoor spaces are available as well as landscaped gardens. The interior is luxuriously spacious with wooden floors and light streaming in. The expansive old charm has mingled well with modern ideas and it can be yours for a negotiable price of $1,300,000- $1,600,000 NZD.

The 3 bedroom Tauranga Villa in the Bay of Plenty can sleep 6 people and comes with a glorious 180 degree view over the city, harbor, sea and Mt. Maunganui.

With plaster finish and colorsteel roofing, double glazing in the family room, the house is designed for modern, environmentally conscious living. All the living areas open on to a concrete deck giving you awesome views. The swimming pool is on the deck.

Pure wool carpeting has been used in the lounge, library, hallway and bedrooms. The kitchen has equipments of the highest quality and opens out onto a second deck and eating area on the east side for you to enjoy a lovely warm breakfast.
There's a guest wing on the west side of the house with 2 double bedrooms.
The bedrooms with their bathrooms are the last word in luxury.

A lovely early 1900's villa with river views is up for auction. An auction is an exciting way to buy something and this house
has a unique charm worth an auction. Spread out with high ceilings, lots of timber work, the villa has 4 bedrooms in addition to the lounge and family rooms. There is also a sunroom justified by the fact that this property has an elevated 1452m2 situation. You'll get all the modern conveniences including light fittings, TV Aerial, Stove, Washing Machine Taps, Alarm, Waste Disposal and more, as well as double garaging.

An exotic villa in the Italian style is available for a negotiable $4,450,000. Besides the house and additional deck area, there are 11 acres of land as part of the property with an additional 5 acres available on adjacent grounds.
The main house has 3 bedrooms, the usual lounge and family rooms, , dining and kitchen area, a sunroom and even an office. But as an extra high point, you get a billiards room cum library too! External loggias and various storage rooms are other factors. Across the courtyard, above the garage is a 2 bedroom unit ideal for guests. With timber and Italian tiles and marble, the house is lovely. The swimming pool is rather up to date and fancy with swim jets, an automated chlorination system and laser lighting. The property has its own lakes and waterfalls and a spa in natural surroundings. There is space for a tennis court or a helipad. This is a really lovely property and if I had the money, I'd certainly grab it up.

Of course, there are
more villas to choose from.
