This one-hectare Waitoki estate is a unique and truly captivating family retreat. When the current owners first arrived five years ago, the land around this striking home was largely a bare block. At great expense, they've meticulously and lovingly developed the grounds into the park-like paradise seen today and named it Glengarry Fields. Filled with whimsy and wonder, it incorporates many ponds, fountains and bird aviaries, as well as unique sculptures and two small summer houses affectionately known as the French House and the Butterfly House. It is a wonderland for kids to explore and enjoy, with sweeping lawns, a playground and vast space for grand family celebrations. All the thought, design and hard work has been done including water and power supply to many key areas, however there is still the opportunity to add your own touches.
A flat, tree-lined driveway arrives up to the house with ample off-street parking. The beautifully crafted single-level residence is constructed in solid masonry which makes it exceptionally warm and dry. Incredibly generous proportions inside create a real sense of space, with many sets of doors and windows flooding the stylish rooms with light and sun and showcasing unique snapshots of the garden. The kitchen and dining flows out to a covered alfresco living area, while the large lounge has a wood burner and opens out on either side to two private enclosed courtyards that are perfect for hosting friends and family.
An enormous door closes off the wide accommodation hallway, where three bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and separate toilet, while the master has its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and access to the courtyard. Also on offer are good storage solutions and internal access to the carpeted triple garage.
Buyers with a passion for gardens and who love spending time outdoors will covet the space, privacy and ambiance of this very special property.
