Prepare to fall in love with this exquisite five bedroom villa, the surrounding land size, and her exceptional location.
On the outskirts of the popular, community minded Matangi village, and positioned for privacy down an exclusive driveway, this grand dame, formerly of Mt Eden in Auckland, now rests on a flat 9559sqm more or less (2.36 acres or .95 ha) of lifestyle land.
Natural light fills this home at every turn, through high sash windows and french doors. Built in circa 1910, the home has now been extensively renovated with a white washed interior, new kitchen, three tiled bathrooms (including two full ensuites), and modern heating, while retaining the timeless character and beauty of high, ornate pressed tin ceilings, a wide arched hallway, polished Kauri floors, and stained leadlight windows. As well as having a separate formal family lounge with a grand open fire for winter nights, family and friends will be drawn to the north facing and open plan kitchen and dining space that connects to expansive timber decking, through double glazed bifold doors, a space conducive to entertaining guests, and watching the family play and grow.
An idyllic rural outlook through the kitchen bifold windows, will be the backdrop to your morning coffee, and enjoy all day sun and expansive views of the surrounding farm land from anywhere on the property. The detached double garage provides ample parking for cars and ride on lawn mowers, with possibilities for a workshop/gym and storage. Space for animals in the five paddocks that surround the home, with an endless supply of firewood from the shelter belt of Cypress trees.
Only minutes' walk down the footpath at the end of the driveway to decile 10 Matangi Primary School, as well as the convenience of the four Square, popular food bus and the Berry Farm. Zoned also for Berkeley Normal Middle School, and Hillcrest High School as well as being on the bus route for most major schools. Commute easily to both Hamilton and Cambridge from this incredible, and unique lifestyle opportunity unable to be replicated.
