41 Winifred Street, Okitu, Gisborne

Coastal masterpiece

The dream was fostered from the initial walk over the grassy paddock and began with the first native trees planted, as the house build began. Then for 30 years the Wainui and Okitu communities have watched in awe at the scale and development above all expectations on this iconic coastal property of 1.8ha (approx). On the ridgetop site sits the architecturally designed, cedar weatherboard home, with the calming background sound of trickling water giving the first hints of the Asian concepts and influences evident throughout the property. On the northern side is a fishpond for the turtles, while on the southern side is a much larger heated saltwater swimming pool for summer entertaining for the family. From living areas and outside decks, this stylish, sophisticated home overlooks beautifully manicured grounds to the sea views beyond. Wooden walkways from the house meander under the canopies of native trees to a separate, guest house for short term Airbnb accommodation or for friends and family. The sophisticated home has hosted international guests, including famous pianists who have held recitals in the house while the property is renowned for its fabulous collection of art pieces which are arranged throughout the grounds. These have been catalogued and will remain on site.
You will be fully engaged as you explore the beautiful garden and contemplate the surrounding art pieces which could be yours!
