Highwic House

From the Auckland Heritage web site: one of New Zealand's finest timber Gothic houses, Highwic was begun in 1862 by Alfred Buckland, one of Auckland's most substantial land owners, and his wife Eliza. It was extended in 1873 in the style of the original, which had been copied from American A.J Downings patternbook 'The Architecture of Country Houses'.

Highwic was home to Buckland's 21 children and remained in the family until sold in 1978. Furnished with antiques, it is a popular functions centre and the hectare of lawns and fine gardens provide a haven from the hustle and bustle of nearby Newmarket.
