If classic cars are your happy place then bringing them into your luxury home is a no-brainer – especially if you have $2 million plus to invest in your petrolhead fantasy.
This home seller from Ardmore near Papakura, New Zealand, did exactly that and shares his lounge with his sports car collection.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home also boasts enough undercover parking for 20 vehicles for the rest of your fleet.

In fact, half of the 530 sqm home is garaging – and the Auckland lifestyle property has car enthusiasts all revved up.
LJ Hooker listing agent, Dylan Turner told OneRoof that it was the most undercover parking he had ever come across in his 29 years of real estate – and the first one he’d seen with cars in the lounge.
Whether you’re looking to fix or store classic cars from home, or simply enjoy them – they’re inviting interest from $2 million.
The circular design with a central courtyard and tunnel beside a double carport, conveniently allows cars to be driven directly into the garages or lounges.
The stunning luxury home was built by an engineer on a 5000 sqm lifestyle section in 1994 and he coined it his “car utopia”.
It allowed him to mix work and pleasure for 30 years, working from home and storing his classic car collection where he could enjoy it.
And it seems that storing cars where you can see them is a big thing for the super wealthy – like the luxurious Porsche Tower that has a supercar elevator inside and the ultra-wealthy’s ultimate supercar storage solution that treats cars like art.
“You’ve got the room – I mean what else?” Turner said.
“You could use it as a rumpus room … It’s got big double French doors from the courtyard so really easy to drive your car straight into the lounge and put it on dollies or wheel jacks.”
And if you fancy taking the classic cars outside, there’s a farmers market and beaches within a 20-minute drive.
It’s not the first time luxury and classic cars have been used to lure buyers in for a luxury home sale.
This multi-million dollar Tahoe estate is being sold with a Tesla Cybertruck and a luxury UK mansion owner parked a $4.2 million Ferrari in their living room.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
