Discerning buyers seeking a designer rural lifestyle will resonate with this private, park-like Tamahere sanctuary, secured behind electronic gates and accessed via a tree-lined concrete driveway.
A relaxed county ambience pervades the 9269sq m (more or less) estate, rich in native flora, fruit trees, potager gardens and easy-care plantings. Reclining on the landscape is an architect-designed, plaster over brick, five-bedroom former showhome in mint condition.
It dishes up two living zones, a dining zone and quality granite kitchen. The office has built-in features and two of the bedrooms have an en-suite. Guests will not want to leave. Large bi-fold doors open the master retreat to a private patio and garden views. A spa bath, walk-in shower and temperature-controlled gas infinity hot water make the fully main bathroom a luxurious space. Built-in cabinetry features in the country-size laundry and storage is plentiful throughout.
Ducted heating and cooling, zoned under-tile heating, and ample insulation keep the home ambient in all seasons. Form and functionality make the home extremely liveable. Appointments include LED lighting, gas hot water and cooking, and filtered bore and roof rainwater. Water is stored in two tanks and the vendors have never run out of water, even through the driest summers. The light-filled interior is angled for the sun and opens to a patio, alfresco niches, a built-in fire and barbecue area, for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.
Also weighing in is an 80sq m three-bay shed with three phase power and a large two and a half car garage that could be utilised as a fully self-contained unit. Replanted in recent years for minimal care, the tastefully landscaped grounds reflect a love of nature. Pets are safely confined and the romantic summer house, draped in grapevines, beckons for outdoor relaxation.
Urban and village amenities are close and school zones are tops.
