There's a touch of Tuscany about this spectacular 230 square metre home, located on 16 hectares (40.1 acres) of mixed flat, gentle and undulating contoured land with serene rural views to the Hunua ranges. Quality constructed in the 1990's and additional cladding systems installed in 2007, boasting a prized northerly aspect and a soaring 4.8 metre high apex ceiling in the lounge, this stunning residence accents rich Rimu timber ceilings throughout the living areas and large master suite. Meticulously tended grounds and a driveway lined with Australian Blackwood trees lead to the spacious double door entry foyer where a breathtaking picture window celebrates gorgeous views of the rear garden. There’s access from here into the marine carpeted 6.3m x 6m garage which incorporates a laundry with outdoor access and a spacious study. On the opposing side, double doors open into sun-drenched open plan family living with fireplace, window-walled dining section and the chic kitchen with walk-in pantry, sweeping formica benchtops and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and another large ornate picture window drawing in delightful views of the gardens. Also adjoining the kitchen, there’s a cosy sitting room. All the living areas here open onto an outstanding north-facing paved courtyard covered with attractive Mediterranean-style dining under deciduous grape vines which offer shade appropriate to the seasons. A water feature and outdoor lighting add to the relaxed ambience. Three bedrooms include the glamourous master with dramatic feature ceiling, large walk-in wardrobe, sleek ensuite with spa bath, shower, double vanity and garden patio access. Both other spacious bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and share a family bathroom with bath and glass shower. Off the hallway there’s a powder room and numerous storage facilities, generously catered for in this ultra-comfortable home. Outdoors, two major sheds each measuring 12m x 7m and with concrete floors, power and lighting flank a 10.6m x 3m covered area – more super-spacious storage for whatever may be required. There are 14 electric and wire and batten fences, stock yards and pen and loading ramp for cattle, and an orchard with feijoa, apple, lemon, grapefruit and mandarin trees plus a vegetable garden. Prestigiously located with exceptional indoor/outdoor integration and entertaining venues, we have instructions to sell this superbly sized high calibre home by auction if not before.
