Offers Over $700,000

Set well back from the road, in a peaceful tree-clad environment, this very private 2.395 hectare property is just a few minutes' drive from the seaside village of Mapua and the local primary school.

It comprises a 230 square metre two level home with generous open-plan living areas, a well-designed kitchen and breakfast area, an office, master suite, three additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom, guest powder room and laundry. An adjacent 70 square metre barn has been converted and permitted for use as a home office for up to 3 full-time staff, plus the house occupants. It contains an open-plan living room, kitchenette, double bedroom and bathroom and would also be ideal for elderly parents or extended family. Both buildings have been issued with Codes of Compliance.

The house, which was only partially built when the owners purchased it in 2006, is now a beautifully appointed family home. Exterior construction combines low maintenance Lawson Cypress board and batten walls, which will weather to a dark smoky grey with rimu joinery and a dark karaka green Coloursteel roof. Glass-paned French doors in the living, dining and sitting room areas open to some 90 square metres of covered verandahs and decks to create a spacious environment for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.

In addition to French doors, there are numerous glass-paned windows, including dormer windows. The extensive use of timber throughout the interior creates a sense of warmth and compliments the Spanish white and soft sage green interior palette. It includes soaring timber beamed tongue and groove rimu ceilings in the living areas, pine ceilings in the bedrooms, recycled rimu sarking and window joinery, deep skirting boards, eucalyptus saligna stairs and eucalyptus delegatensis flooring. Solid jarrah poles from the Motueka wharf have been recycled for use as horizontal and vertical support beams.
