As you move on up through native bush, you sense that you are going to be greeted by something wonderful at the top of the path and WOW, you are! This magnificent, character rich home is truly special and unique.
Upon entering, the quality and craftsmanship of this bespoke 1980's beauty shines. Warm tones of native timbers, split level layout, numerous skylights and large windows create a continuous connection to nature. Constructed for his family by renowned designer/builder David Kepes, this property remains his favourite build.
Nestled between mature trees, with views from every window, the home occupies several levels. The lower area consists of open plan kitchen, lounge and dining with wood burner and an office/snug. A small conservatory off the lounge, opens to a sunny deck with long views up the valley and overlooks a raised organic garden.
First stop up the vaulted stairwell is the bathroom and laundry. Here bi-fold windows open out from the bath to the private lawn and terraces, providing a perfect place to soak and unwind amidst nature.
The upper levels contain three double bedrooms, all with special features; loft, balcony, garden access and lovely ocean/treetop views.
Numerous outdoor entertainment areas are situated throughout the beautifully landscaped grounds with sunny plateau, fruit trees, garden beds and bush. This is an oasis of tranquility and bird song. Expect frequent flyovers and close encounters with kereru and tui!
There are several functional and fun outhouses. From the warm and secluded artist's studio/sleep-out, to the old gypsy-style house truck, there are endless opportunities for independence and creativity.
Only a five minute stroll away from Karehana Bay and with easy access to vibrant Plimmerton village, this property offers a beautiful balance of retreat and community; a rare lifestyle opportunity.
