1664B Gordonton Road, Gordonton, Waikato

Enchanting Country Villa

Nestled on the brow of a hill within the picturesque Gordonton countryside north of Hamilton, you will discover this stunning refurbished villa which proudly claimed its spot here over 100 years ago. Hidden down a long tree-lined driveway, you are greeted by 4157sqm (more or less) of expansive lawns and rambling cottage gardens full of flowers as you approach the house. With decking on two sides of the home and a sheltered outdoor courtyard, entertaining at all times of day and year is easy.

Step inside through the beautiful front door into the wide traditional villa hallway, and from here discover four large bedrooms. A clever re-working of the home's layout means living zones are best orientated for privacy, views and access to -the north and west facing outdoor entertaining zones. An expansive formal lounge, complete with traditional open fireplace and tall twin book-cases flows effortlessly via French doors to the grounds and views sweeping up to the Hakarimata ranges. Adjacent to this space you'll discover the heart of this home; a country-style kitchen and open plan family and dining zone. Modern in functionality yet sensitive to the era of the home, this area incorporates a scullery, wide benches plus doors to the outdoor living, and makes the perfect hub from which family life can unfold effortlessly.

There's a self-contained studio or fifth bedroom, which could be operated as a B&B, or make the ideal retreat for older kids or extended family, a "cute as a button" potager cottage, plus triple car garaging and plenty of parking for extra vehicles. Feed your chickens, pick fruit from your abundant orchard and enjoy the magnificent sunsets across the Ranges, and the peace and serenity this property offers.

Located within the welcoming Gordonton community, plus handy to Hamilton and the arterial route to Auckland.
