A private sanctuary with a view to remember
Some homes impress you with their features. Others simply make you feel something the moment you walk through the door. This architecturally designed home by INK Architecture does both.
Built in 2019 and offered to the market for the first time, its cedar cladding and modern aesthetic have been carefully considered to blend with the natural environment. Stretching across the site, the home captures arguably one of the finest views towards Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. Picture windows frame the landscape, while tui, kaka, kereru and pheasants bring life to a backdrop that changes with the skies and seasons.
Inside, there is an immediate sense of space and calm. Soaring 3.6m studs bring volume to the open-plan living area, where a designer kitchen and substantial scullery sit at the heart of the home. With a second dishwasher and wine fridge, the scullery keeps the practical side of entertaining tucked away, while a gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere. A separate media room offers somewhere to retreat when a quieter evening calls.
The floorplan has been thoughtfully arranged for family life. Along one wing, three bedrooms and an office sit alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom with underfloor heating and a fully tiled walk-in shower, complemented by a separate toilet with basin. Each bedroom has double wardrobes and opens onto the covered patio, then out to the lawn. At the opposite end, the master suite is a peaceful retreat. Generous picture windows draw the landscape in, while a substantial walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite with underfloor heating and a tiled walk-in shower complete the space. Direct patio access invites a quiet morning coffee, with provision for a future spa adding another possibility for unwinding outdoors.
The same thoughtful approach extends to the practical spaces. A generous laundry and double garage with built-in cabinetry provide excellent storage, while ducted heating keeps the home comfortable year-round. Provision for a future Louvretec system offers scope to further enhance outdoor living.
Set on 3,511sqm (more or less), the grounds offer a taste of country life without the workload of a larger lifestyle property. Carefully considered, low-maintenance landscaping includes vegetable gardens, a sandpit and trampoline, and a paddock for a few pet lambs. There is also room to explore a pool, shed or tiny home, subject to applicable covenants and the necessary approvals.
Despite the peaceful setting, Cambridge is only around 13 minutes away, with school bus options for intermediate and high school adding to the everyday convenience.
Private, peaceful and beautifully connected to its surroundings, this is the kind of home you return to at the end of the day, close the door behind you and simply breathe.
A hidden gem that needs to be experienced to appreciate just how special it feels.
