16 Ao Marama Place, Kerikeri, Far North

Unmatched tranquility

What an enchanting property! A home full of charisma surrounded by lush greenery, orchards, wetlands, and native bush. This really is a hidden oasis - yet less than 10 minutes from Kerikeri. It was a love at first sight for the owners, and we know families or active retirees will feel that same pull.

Rustic railway sleeper stairs lead to an immaculate board & baton home. The convenience of a mudroom and powder room on entry is fantastic for working the garden. Sarked ceilings in the main lounge and fresh paint throughout entice you to relax. Keeping things cosy is quality wool carpet, a wood burner with wetback and heat transfer system, plus a heat pump. The combined country-style kitchen and dining area is supported by a spacious butler pantry for additional storage and workspace. All three bedrooms and a stunning bathroom are found off the second lounge. Adding to the charm are unique French doors that feature throughout the home. Stretching around two sides of the home is a much-loved deck to follow sunshine or shelter across the day. This is an exceptional spot to watch the sunset dip across the wetlands.

Complimenting an impressive home are the gardens. A huge effort has gone into landscaping and planting across 4,730sqm which now rewards the owners with a bounty of edibles. Beautiful natives and planting along the back path provide privacy from neighbours. There are two patches of bush with walking tracks - a delightful playground for children to explore. The orchard offers every fruit imaginable, and veggie and herb gardens allow fresh produce for every meal. Pohutukawa, kowhai, kauri, rimu, manuka, flowering shrubs - it's a dynamic setting!

A double carport has been lined for security and storage, and the cute ‘out-shed' would make an ideal sleep-out or office. What a decadent lifestyle, just a short hop from several local walks. Bittersweet, but the UK calls, and our vendors are ready to move!
