Meticulously planned and exquisitely executed this is one of the most desirable large lifestyle properties in the area. Only 7kms from Mangawhai, and 90kms to Auckland CBD, location is just one of the keys to its attraction.
The sweeping tree-lined driveway leads you up to the generously proportioned home and you are greeted by panoramic views across the countryside and out to the ocean and Little Barrier Island.
Stepping into the home the interconnected living areas create the backbone of the home with kitchen/dining/family taking in elevated views across the undulating pasture. The expansive island bench is the perfect spot for family to gather and enjoy a drink while preparing a meal and the scullery allows prep work to be secreted away to deal with later. The wood burner creates warmth on a winter's day and the wetback keeps the power costs down.
The lounge looks out to the north facing courtyard with large sliders opening up for alfresco dining or a game of petanque on a balmy summer's day. The courtyard is sheltered by the east wing housing the master suite and the west wing accommodating the family/guest rooms. All open up to the outside and connect you with the abundance of nature.
Whether summer or winter, the loggia is a family favourite with barbeques, wine tasting, board games, or just recounting the day at the beach or out fishing - it certainly epitomises family fun and relaxation.
Set on 17 hectares, the paddocks are well-fenced and reticulated allowing you to graze beef or sheep, enjoy horses or develop how you want. Close to the entrance a super-sized workshop with three-phase power offers business or hobby opportunities with ample room to carport the boat, campervan and horse float - whatever your passion there's room to enjoy it here.
