From the moment you enter the gate to this very private retreat,
and walk the path of pebble stones through the lush tropical
gardens to the front door, you know you have found something very
very special. Designed with a distinct pacific island flavour and
built along the lines of a mini island resort this home is
welcoming, light, bright and airy and immediately puts you in a
relaxed mode. Isn't that what holidays and time at the beach are
all about?
This 284sq metre home designed by Martin Harnish,
sits on a 737sq metre site bordering the beachfront reserve with
wonderful sea views towards Tawharanui, Little Barrier and
Coromandel, encompassing Omaha Bay and Ti Point. A one minute walk
through the flax bordered reserve walkway leads you to the
beautiful white sandy beach, literally metres from the
property.
With two distinctly separate upstairs towers, one
housing the master bedroom and ensuite in a private sanctuary like
setting and the other housing two large guest bedrooms with a
shared bathroom, guests and the owners have their own space and a
feeling of separation. This is all bought together with the clever
design of the downstairs living areas, which offer a multitude of
living spaces that can also be opened up in summer to effectively
become one large area.
The ground floor houses a raised open
plan kitchen/dining area with family or reading room that takes in
the spectacular sea views. This opens via a servery onto a covered
Lanai indoor/outdoor area, where the family meals would be taken in
summer, and many hours will be spent with guests in front of the
open fire, on those cooler evenings.
For more formal dining the
gallery style dining space off the main entry with its impressive
4.5 metre high ceilings, skylights and clerestory windows provides
ample room for entertaining a large number of guests, and the
adjoining media/TV room is the perfect place to curl up with a good
book or movie when the guests have all departed or you want some
quiet time. A large double garage, guest bathroom and laundry
complete the lower level.
The finishing and detail throughout
are of a very high standard, with dark oak timber floors, cedar
shutters and custom made stained cedar joinery, teak veneer kitchen
cabinetry and caesar stone benches to name but a few features.
Appliances, fixtures and fittings are all of a standard you would
expect in a home of this quality. And to finish it all off the
landscaping and tropical plant selection is just superb and after
four years really does provide a high degree of privacy and a true
feeling of being hidden away in your own island resort!! All this
less than 60 minutes from Auckland. This property must be viewed to
be truly appreciated. Call Paul Elsden now to arrange your
viewing.
