Nathan House - Priced to Sell

This 1910 classic masterpiece stands proudly on an elevated north facing lifestyle position in prestigious Waimate North. On 3.92 ha with five paddocks this gated estate is surrounded with harmonious gardens and embraces expansive country vistas.\nHere, it has been lovingly restored by its owners who have been absolutely fastidious in their attention to detail. At times challenging to source materials and tradespeople with similar passions, they made no compromises on quality and have now produced a gracious country home worthy of the front page of any superior home and interior magazine. \nThe colour schemes have been chosen to complement the ornate ceilings, chandeliers and Matai timber floors while also radiating a feeling of warmth on colder days and coolness in the heat of summer. In the very generous living areas the colour palette is focused on a subtle neutral effect allowing new owners an easy transition to their personal tastes. \nFrom the handsome front entry with leadlight glass doors, through rooms with high studs and up the original timber staircase to the guest wing, you are reminded of the richness of life, the patina of mature timber and the formality of days gone by. \nOn the ground level, the hub to the open plan living is the entertainer's kitchen with large adjoining butler's scullery. Both have been fitted out with recycled Rimu cabinetry giving the impression it has always been there. \nPerfect for hosting weekend guests or functions, the spacious living and entertaining areas flow out through French doors to wide sun drenched verandas where you can inhale pure country air and enjoy the timeless tapestry of lush rolling hills.\nThe walnut timber panelled walls in the reading room have heard many a story from the days when, as a smoking room, it hosted the Auckland Bridge Club. Today it offers solace and space to quietly reflect on the day, catch up with a good book or a share a game of mah-jong or cards with friends.\nRising sun and birdsong wake our owners each morning in their well appointed garden view bedroom with large ensuite. Upstairs offers guests a quiet retreat with two spacious, well appointed bedrooms, bathrooms and private sitting room overlooking tranquil district views.\nThe south side of the villa has a separate entrance inviting friends into an impressive self-contained apartment. Currently used for paying guests the entry hall can easily be opened to incorporate back into the original homestead.\nIt's ready for you to establish your own B and B or stylish functions venue. Come with your vision and realise your dream.\n\nFor Sale Interest around $1.2m.
