105 Puketapu Road, Taradale, Napier

Design, privacy, position: family standout

It's rare to find a home that balances privacy, connection and style quite like this. Tucked quietly down a hidden lane, surrounded by greenery and birdsong, 105 Puketapu Road feels a world away, yet it's just moments from the heart of Taradale, local schooling, and village life. Did we mention, this home is also just a ten-minute stroll to the iconic Church Road and Mission Wineries for long lunches, intimate dinners, or concert evenings amongst the vines, this location is one of Taradale's most cherished.

Set on just more than 1,400 square metres and bordering the expansive local reserve, this property offers an extraordinary sense of space and seclusion. Walking tracks and cycleways wind just beyond the fence line, while beautifully landscaped and fully fenced grounds provide both privacy and space for family life. The outlook is remarkable - the lawn seems to spill into the reserve beyond, like an infinity pool of greenery stretching ahead.

Architecturally designed with family living at its core and a CCC issued in 2016, the home centres around an open-plan living space that flows beautifully to the outdoors. High-stud ceilings and large sliders draw glorious natural light into the family living areas, framing views of the lush greenery beyond. The generous designer kitchen, finished with wrapped stainless countertops, anchors the space with practical confidence - perfect for gathering, creating, and sharing the day-to-day moments that make a house a home. An additional office space off the main living area doubles beautifully as a breakout room or entertainment zone, offering versatility for work, study, or play.

This has been a much-loved family abode - an intentional vision brought to life - a place where birthdays have been celebrated, long lunches have stretched into evenings, and many shared meals have brought generations together. It's a home that invites connection, with spaces that naturally draw people in, and a sense of peace and privacy that makes every moment one to be present.

A long hallway introduces the sleeping wing, with the master suite privately positioned at one end. Complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, it's a calm, elevated space that feels distinctly separate yet connected. Three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate toilet, and integral garaging complete the layout - simple, balanced, and beautifully considered.

The home's striking black exterior gives it a bold architectural presence against the emerald backdrop, while inside, the atmosphere softens. There's a warmth here - a modern aesthetic layered with texture, quality, and a relaxed yet chic bohemian edge that makes the whole space feel welcoming and inviting.

Extensive off-street parking, exceptional privacy, thoughtful design, and that unique infinity-green outlook combine to create a home where family life, functionality, and effortless living come together in perfect harmony.
