Every now and again an opportunity presents itself which can significantly enhance your life and simply cannot be ignored.
Sandstone Lodge has everything you need and is immersed amongst a breathtaking, easily managed west coast landscape which is convenient to Auckland although once here you won't want to leave.
Built from local Muriwai Sandstone and blending perfectly into its natural environment the home offers sumptuous and practical living warmed by ample sunshine and, for those homely intimate evenings, 2 woodburning fires and a feature gas fireplace. The master wing is super-sized in every respect and the kids/guest accommodation provides 3 bedrooms, 1 with ensuite, a family bathroom and communal lounge. The kitchen connects well with casual living spaces and there are multiple lounges both cosy and spacious which will cater for relaxing and/or entertaining on any scale. Outdoor living is exceptionally well provided for and is complete with a pizza oven.
The 1.6 hectares of land is perfectly laid out for all to enjoy. The manicured grounds are truly parklike and the flying fox and kids playground will keep the kids entertained for hours on end. For the more adventurous there are pockets of bush with a natural spring to explore and enough pasture to keep a pony or ride a motorbike.
Nestled in its own private setting and nicely distant from the main home and with its own access there is a 2 bedroom cottage which would suit guests or extended family or easily generate an income with a permanent tenant or on an Air BnB basis. With high demand for weekend/holiday accommodation at Muriwai managing this could be a nice way to keep busy, meet people and make an income on a very casual part time basis if desired.
In addition there is a 150sqm modern Colour Steel shed with a high stud and mezzanine level divided into 2 rooms making it suitable for most any purpose including additional accommodation or as a home office/gym. An adjoining carport adds extra covered parking/storage.
