Tuki Tuki Valley Treat

Located in the picturesque Tuki Tuki River Valley, just 15 kilometres from Havelock North, this property offers the discerning buyer the most spectacular views along with warmth, privacy and enviable outdoor living.

The property comprises a main home plus a separate two bedroom guest house, both architecturally designed and thoughtfully laid out to capture all day sun and views. Both dwellings are constructed in an attractive, yet understated, manner, so as not to appear obtrusive in the landscape, and elements such as redwood pergolas, stone walls and pillars, and copper spouting give it a rustic feel.

Upon entering the main home you are greeted with what is arguably the best view up the river valley to iconic Te Mata Peak. The open plan living / dining / kitchen area with polished wooden floors opens through timber bi-folds onto a private outdoor living area looking out over expansive lawns to the valley beyond. As the day wears on you can follow the setting sun around to a stunning loggia with outdoor fire and unique stainless steel artwork by David Trubridge. The 320sqm main home comprises two double bedrooms and study/den - all with spectacular views - and two bathrooms.

The guest house features two double bedrooms and a bathroom, and boasts the same lovely views, with French doors opening off each room to a sunny deck.

The six hectares of land is a mix of medium to steep contour and best suited to grazing, with mature plantings providing shelter and privacy for this attractive block. A shed of approximately 110sqm provides ample storage/workshop facilities with a small sheep yard handling area adjacent.

This special property is an easy commute to town, whilst offering an array of activities within a 15 minute drive including trout fishing, golf, beaches wineries and restaurants.
