Quite Possibly the Best Views I've Seen

For Sale Offers Over $500,000

The view is the focal point of this charming home. It is absolutely mesmerising, as it sweeps over the Ruataniwha inlet, Aorere river and Maori Island, against a backdrop of Mt Burnett and the Wakamarama range. Ahead, the outlook extends across the wide expanse of Golden Bay, Puponga and Farewell Spit to the Tasman Sea and a seemingly endless horizon. It is an ever-changing panorama, as the tide ebbs and flows, which can alter dramatically from a sunlit seascape to a spectacular sunset.

Tucked in at the top of a naturally elevated 1,438 square metre site, the single level, two double bedroom home and office faces north-northwest to maximise the sun and views.

Built in 2004, the 140 square metre building's exterior blends into the natural environment. Board and batten walls, painted soft canvas green combine beautifully with lichen-toned Coloursteel walls at each end, iron-sand aluminium joinery, a matching Coloursteel roof and spouting. Renovations completed in 2005 included converting a deck into a 36 square metre conservatory. A 53 square metre triple garage was built in 2007.

This is a lovely, light and airy home, designed to make the most of the superb Golden Bay climate and outdoor lifestyle. Glass sliding stacker doors in the living room, dining area and conservatory combine with a French door in the master bedroom to open up the house to cooling breezes in summer to create a spacious environment for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.

The house is warm and well-insulated. A Metro Rad log burner with a wet-back facility, in the open-plan living area, warms the rooms as well as heating the water. The glass door and windows in the master bedroom are double-glazed. The house is wired for Sky TV and Broadband. There is a combination of recessed ceiling lights and feature lighting.

Subtle tones of Resene Parchment have been used in the living areas, office and hallway. The master bedroom is painted double Spanish white, with a stunning aubergine feature wall. The second bedroom and laundry are finished in warm-toned Tahuna Sand. Silvery-grey slatted blinds are fitted in the living areas, kitchen, office, second bedroom, bathroom and on one side of the conservatory. UV-resistant sun filter blinds are fitted to the remaining conservatory doors and windows. Soft, grey-green carpet is fitted in the living room and dining area, hallway, office and bedrooms. There are black ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen and bathroom and warm sand-toned, stain resistant, non-slip ceramic floor tiles with a mosaic border, in the conservatory.
