Experience Omaha...Island Style!

From the moment you enter the gate to this very private retreat, and walk the path of pebble stones through the lush tropical gardens to the front door, you know you have found something very very special. Designed with a distinct pacific island flavour and built along the lines of a mini island resort this home is welcoming, light, bright and airy and immediately puts you in a relaxed mode. Isn't that what holidays and time at the beach are all about?

This 284sq metre home designed by Martin Harnish, sits on a 737sq metre site bordering the beachfront reserve with wonderful sea views towards Tawharanui, Little Barrier and Coromandel, encompassing Omaha Bay and Ti Point. A one minute walk through the flax bordered reserve walkway leads you to the beautiful white sandy beach, literally metres from the property.

With two distinctly separate upstairs towers, one housing the master bedroom and ensuite in a private sanctuary like setting and the other housing two large guest bedrooms with a shared bathroom, guests and the owners have their own space and a feeling of separation. This is all bought together with the clever design of the downstairs living areas, which offer a multitude of living spaces that can also be opened up in summer to effectively become one large area.

The ground floor houses a raised open plan kitchen/dining area with family or reading room that takes in the spectacular sea views. This opens via a servery onto a covered Lanai indoor/outdoor area, where the family meals would be taken in summer, and many hours will be spent with guests in front of the open fire, on those cooler evenings.

For more formal dining the gallery style dining space off the main entry with its impressive 4.5 metre high ceilings, skylights and clerestory windows provides ample room for entertaining a large number of guests, and the adjoining media/TV room is the perfect place to curl up with a good book or movie when the guests have all departed or you want some quiet time. A large double garage, guest bathroom and laundry complete the lower level.

The finishing and detail throughout are of a very high standard, with dark oak timber floors, cedar shutters and custom made stained cedar joinery, teak veneer kitchen cabinetry and caesar stone benches to name but a few features. Appliances, fixtures and fittings are all of a standard you would expect in a home of this quality. And to finish it all off the landscaping and tropical plant selection is just superb and after four years really does provide a high degree of privacy and a true feeling of being hidden away in your own island resort!! All this less than 60 minutes from Auckland. This property must be viewed to be truly appreciated. Call Paul Elsden now to arrange your viewing.
