7 Mason Place, Ohope, Whakatane

Uniquely charming Ohope villa!!

Originally crafted around 1910, this gracefully renovated villa on a 1082sqm tropical and food forested site offers a blend of historic character and contemporary comforts.

Situated in a tranquil cul-de-sac off Ocean Road, you find this zen oasis, where you will revive your spirits. You will leave the stresses of daily life behind as soon as you enter this unique Ohope family home through the enchanting Indian doors. Step onto the spacious veranda, the perfect place to reflect, read a book or just take in the stunning lead light feature windows of a bygone area.

The wide entry foyer showcases charming period features including native timber floors and high ceilings. The grandiose open plan kitchen, dining and living area will take your breath away with an abundance of natural light streaming through charming windows, both bifold doors and windows including skylights. This is where modern truly meets yesteryear. The timeless kitchen with feature stainless steel benchtop and scullery will appease any keen cook and forms the centre piece of this sanctuary. Imaging gathering here with your favourite people over home cooked meals and a good glass of wine.

Spill out onto the deck to soak up the afternoon sun and later on star gaze in the private spa surrounded by tropical gardens.
There are three spacious bedrooms, one flows onto its own private deck, the second one leads into a sunroom, ideal for teenagers and the third one has a contemporary ensuite. The main bathroom features a gorgeous leadlight window.
The current owner is operating her business out of a separate studio - this rejuvenating space could realize multiple uses.

At the rear of the property is an edible, tropical food forest which includes the following plants...apple heritage 2x, avocado large grafted, banana, cherimoya ( custard apple) 2x, fejoa a grove, gooseberrys, grape, fig, galangal, lemon, lime, loquat, plum Louisa 2x and satsuma, persimmon 2x, orange, passionfruit, pawpaw, quava and tomarillo. It currently also houses a couple of cute chickens.
Additional features include bore water for the garden and new solar system.

Our most love beach is only a short stroll down the road where you will enjoy leisurely activities…beachcombing, surfing and swimming.
Character villas with such outstanding period features hardly exist in Ohope. I urge you to take action to secure his once in a lifetime opportunity.
