The true essence of this barely-lived in, designer property lies not just in its wraparound vista of Maungatautari mountain, fiery red sunsets and lush farmland, but in what lies beyond the electric gates and boardwalk entrance.
Attention to detail and luxury touches are standouts in this San Selmo brick and Oblique weatherboard home, designed for entertaining with stacker doors opening out to three outdoor areas that enjoy a front row seat on tranquility.
Perch at the sleek, Smartstone breakfast bar and watch the chef at work in a kitchen with quality appliances and spacious butler’s pantry. High raked ceilings connect the kitchen to a wide open-plan living and dining space, which enjoys the warmth of a fire set in beautiful brick accents.
Ducted heating and cooling is a feature throughout the 271sqm (more or less) with wide hallways and an extra ‘moody’ lounge that also connects through stacker doors to the alfresco dining area. Nearby in a separate wing, children and guests enjoy sweeping rural views from three bedrooms with a gorgeous, sizeable bathroom and large drying room/walk-in linen cupboard servicing the home. The master retreat is your getaway, with an enviable walk-in wardrobe and ensuite complete with double shower. By night, feel your inner calm creep in as spectacular sunsets light up the master wing.
A third bathroom off the big, carpeted double garage is handy for those using the adjoining third garage as a gym, games room or shed. The owners have gone all out, there’s even attic stairs here to access roof storage and wiring for a car charger in the fully insulated garaging area.
Launch your jetski or boat at Lake Karapiro just 3 minutes drive away, or use the popular Te Awa cycleway to meander into Cambridge or Leamington for a coffee at one of the many local eateries. Hamilton Airport is just 17 minutes away. Don’t let the sun go down on this opportunity to secure a true lifestyle retreat, only 4 minutes from local amenities!
