Perched high on the hill overlooking the picturesque Te Miro valley, 1161 Maungakawa Road is tonic for the soul.
An absolute pleasure to come home to, every bit of this uber cool rural retreat hints at the vendor's clever design background, from the mood lighting, to the raked ceilings, and one-off screenprinted tiles that adorn the home.
Only when you enter the front door and look down the valley do you truly appreciate the tranquility of this special location set on 5,050sqm (more or less), much of it planted in natives with its own wetland.
The focal point of the home is the large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen complete with SMEG appliances and butler's pantry, all of which allow the chef to be part of the action when friends and family flock to yours. Whether you're hosting on the big wraparound deck or reclining in peace in a beanbag, this home offers an 'experience'.
There's a second formal lounge tucked behind the main entertaining area, all kept comfortable thanks to a log fire and heat transfer system.
Wake to the sound of native birdlife in your master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, a true sanctuary with its own access to the large deck that runs along the front of the house. Two other bedrooms share a family bathroom, and at the end of the home off the large garage with 3-phase power, a fourth bedroom with ensuite is the perfect breakout wing for teenagers or could work as an Air BnB opportunity.
If living near an adventure playground is your thing, look no further. Te Miro Mountain Bike Park and walking trails are only 6 minutes away, Te Miro country school is 650m and the bus to Cambridge High School goes past the gate.
With two small paddocks for pet sheep and chickens to roam free, this home's location in such a friendly community will captivate you- and it's all just 15 minutes from Cambridge!
