Nestled atop Pukehangi Road on an extraordinary 18 hectare block full of magnificent trees with 6.7 hectares in grazing suitable for horses and stock. Established redwoods flank the sealed and automated approach leading to the extensively landscaped property. The main dwelling is an architectural masterwork fashioned from Motueka earth blocks, with walls that are uber thick. Its outstanding thermal properties deliver warm, intimate interiors enhanced by timbers and bespoke joinery to create an ambience that is homely, welcoming and infused with character. Heating is a centrally located pellet file. Lavishly spread over 361sqm, the double glazed dwelling offers choices in living areas including a library/media room, family lounge, and indoor-outdoor entertainment space. The semi-formal lounge and entertainment zone feature log fires and both frame stunning vistas of the city. Ground level also contains a large gallery-style dining area, a separate solid bespoke macrocarpa custom-designed kitchen, separate office and powder room. A glass corridor connects the master suite to the main dwelling. This retreat has the full complement of en-suite and walk-in robe, plus the bonus of direct access outdoors to patio, in-ground spa pool and views. Two family-sized bedrooms upstairs, adjoined by a bridge, have their own private bathrooms. Timber floors, oak staircase and front door, and locally-milled douglas fir beams highlight the home's eco theme and reflect environmental integrity, which is evident in the varied species of trees adorning the acreage. The impressive infrastructure includes a three bay implement shed, a grotto-style wine cellar, two separate garages, and a cottage with two en-suite bedrooms and sitting room overlooking the garden, which is entirely rabbit-fenced. Encased in whispering privacy, seen only by air, the property is positioned between a small hill and stunning gardens. It is unquestionably one of the most significant estates available on the New Zealand property market.
