18 Shepherd Road, Kerikeri, Far North

Rustic Meets Glamour

Country sophistication in the heart of Kerikeri - the best of both worlds here! A convenient 'walk to town' location is matched with all the tranquil perks of rural living. Privately nestled in a no-exit lane, on a 2500sqm site, awaits this wonderful four bedroom, two bathroom, family home.

First impressions count and this 203sqm board and batten beauty with rimu joinery, makes a striking welcome. With a brave vision and a chemical-free paintbrush, our owner lovingly transformed the sturdy bones of this home into a sophisticated property. Contemporary styling has been applied, with polished and lime-washed concrete floors, blackboard walls, and elegant floating stairs. Visitors comment about a positive energy and cheerful vibe, our vendor puts that down to environmentally astute decisions, no chemicals applied to any painted surfaces, spray-free organic gardens, and an HRV system plus a gas fireplace keeping things comfortable.

Three bedrooms are located downstairs along with an office, with the master privately tucked away upstairs, with an ensuite, walk-in robe and stunning high vaulted timber ceilings. Upstairs is a sanctuary; a little separation from the kids with gorgeous bi-fold windows creating gentle breezes in warmer months and plenty of light. Further positives for family living include two lounges, open plan layout and a well-appointed modern kitchen, with a butler's pantry.

Landscaping sprawls across spacious flat lawns, complete with an orchard bursting with stone fruits, avocado and guava. Space is the overall theme, with room for children to explore, fly a kite, kick a ball or swing a bat. Our owner will miss those lovely verandas, offering shelter from warm Kerikeri summers and making an attractive feature to the home. Top off private living with excellent schools under a ten-minute walk from the property; zoned for both Kerikeri Primary and Kerikeri High School.
