The Most Photographed Property on South Head
The House on the Hill: For well over a decade, the mystery of the iconic house on the hill, has been the subject of conjecture, table talk and intrigue.
If the prospect of demolishing the mock Tudor home, or dreaming up a 'Grand Designs' project is a step too far, see the 'Sister Act' at 143b Tuparekura Rd. Just a short distance around the corner. Similar, by being just under 2ha and divided into two paddocks, this was the developers cherished section.

Press Release: There's an abandoned house on a hill in the sought-after Tupare estate in Kaipara Lake Rd, Helensville that's the most-photographed, talked-about house in the region. It's not hard to see why - the house has languished in a field with cattle for well over a decade, capturing attention for its mock-Tudor design and late-addition gargoyles, including serpents, on the roof. Stone steps lead down to the grass from the house, which looks like it is almost growing out from the ground.
The subject of talk around dining tables in the district, with a lot of "conjecture and intrigue". But, contrary to rumours, there have been no murders - no-one has died here. The creme de la creme site in a development that was established 20 years ago as the Riviera of Auckland. It's a very, very unique little peninsula within a bigger peninsula." However, the pigeons have taken over. "We have had a drone go through, which shows a carpet of pigeon poo and holes in the floor and stairwells,".
The covenants are freer with this property, an advantage with this particular site. A house can be two storeys. Residents pay a nominal body corporate fee and in return get the use of many amenities, including a tennis court, boat ramp, Olympic-sized horse arena, stables and community hall.
