Nestled amongst its own olive grove of approximately 130 trees, this desirable property is positioned in an upcoming and emerging lifestyle location near Te Kauwhata. \n\nThe modern mono-pitch home (2007) sits proudly, elevated above the surrounding 1.5 hectares of easy contoured land, well set back from the road enjoying privacy from nearby neighbours. For our Vendors it was about designing a home to maximise natural sunlight, to heat during cooler months utilising a large concrete mass to store the heat. During the warmer months using appropriate permanent shade and strategic opening of clerestory and high windows the house can be easily cooled (passive air ventilation). All this accompanied by good ceiling, walls and under floor insulation and double glazing makes this a very dry house all year round. Indoor, outdoor flow is an understatement here with the open plan living, dining and kitchen spilling out onto the wrap around deck, the master also with access. Wake-up each morning with views from your bed overlooking the rural landscape of Maramarua, the master boasts a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Two further bedrooms are double in size, plus an office and spacious laundry. Finished to a high standard you will love the modern assets including solar panelling, double glazed windows, a gas fire and double inline water filtration system. Garaging is double with internal access\n\nIt is central to Manukau City, 58 kilometres and Pukekohe, 40 kilometres north. Hamilton is 72 kilometres south and Thames 46 kilometres east. The thriving townships of Ngatea and Te Kauwhata are only 29 and 23 kilometres drive respectively, offering everyday amenities, services and outstanding schooling options.\n\nChoose to live off the grid, with everything you need and more your family will love it here!\n
