1 Twin Oaks Drive, Tamahere, Hamilton

Hints of an English Country Estate

A Tamahere address is one to envy by any standard. Here, by Waikato River, in the peaceful cul-de-sac of Twin Oaks, you'll find peace and nature in spades, with an abundance of birdlife enjoying a wealth of native plantings. The home takes its cue from English country estates - trees all around, and a world of your own. Constructed by award-winning Master Builders Urban Homes, the home blends timeless elegance with intimate outdoor lifestyle.

This is a home for family fun and pizza parties; where you order favourites from your own menu and cook them in the pizza oven outside in patio settings. While you wait, wander around to the walled kitchen garden to pick herbs and greens for the salads. Here you can spend your days potting in the cottage shed and grow veges in raised beds. Lose yourself amid the rambling gardens and orchard. Grapevines drip overhead along the colonnade walkway to a pergola retreat before stepping down to the riverbank lookout. Soothe your soul here; nature doesn't come any better.

Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a powder room include an upstairs ensuite with an office and living room to enhance your lifestyle options. The best is reserved for the master suite, of course. With a walk-in dressing room and personal bathroom, it's this suite's garden connection that grabs your attention. Private, yet connected with outdoor entertainment - greeting each day will rouse your senses.

This home's style is understated, but the class shows through. There's central heating and air-con, while Smeg appliances will please cooks. Dine formally inside, or spread out in the shade or sun outdoors - choice is the key. The choice to stay home or join the neighbourhood. Play golf down the road. Launch the boat in the river at the Narrows. Popular Punnet Eatery is nearby, Tamahere Village is handy and the expressway is within easy reach when you need to head to Cambridge, Hamilton or north to Auckland.

Everything you want, everything to enjoy. Come home to Twin Oaks, and take the tour.
