1327E State Highway 10, Kerikeri, Far North

Farewell to an elegant country abode

Nestled down a picturesque driveway awaits an incredible lifestyle on 6.399 hectares, matched by a gorgeous country manor. The owners are heading to Wellington ready to reunite with family so are serious about wanting to sell this lovely home.

Over parklike grounds are ancient trees, landscaped gardens, native plantings, sprawling lawns, water features, a rustic footbridge and a bunch of garden edibles. If that's not enough, try 10 acres of native bush with a meandering path leading to glow worms and streams. There's avocado trees, patios, pergolas, and a pool for the kids - wow!

Our vendors have created a masterpiece with this property of historical significance. They have kept all the charisma of what was once a dairy farm with an original old homestead from the 1940s, but have completed a major extension and remodel in recent years to a first-class level. Kerikeri's oldest two-bay cowshed is still here.

Retaining the essence of yesteryear has been important to the owners, they have embraced features such as Rimu window frames and flooring, ornate fretwork on the balconies, ceiling roses, aluminium French doors opening to expansive decking, a beautiful country inspired kitchen and more.

Successfully running as a B&B, Keriwin House has two master suites, each with a walk in robe and ensuite, along with a further two bedrooms plus a study. To support this generous home designed for entertaining is an additional guest bathroom, a wonderful sunroom with Juliet balcony, a breakfast room, living and dining room, separate laundry and even a sewing room.

While dreamy as it is, there is scope to develop. A spacious packing shed sits behind the home which could convert into a guest cottage. There's a petanque court and many areas to soak up sunshine or take shelter. All just 5-minutes from Kerikeri with school bus at the gate.

We urge the next buyer to view now! Grab their piece of paradise and thank your lucky stars. For the full info pack, call David today.
