Welcome to Vista del Monte, a unique, one-of-a-kind property offering ultimate privacy. Tucked discreetly away at the end of Rewa Street, this sanctuary is a hidden gem that even long time locals are often unaware it exists. Across a charming bridge, you enter your own private oasis: an extraordinary 4,455m2 estate bordered by the bush lined Waiongana-iti Stream, its gentle murmur providing a peaceful soundtrack to life here.
Designed by Architect Standish Hill Design and crafted in 1984 by well known and respected locals Harvey and Jill Hingston, this multi level 457m2 residence is a grand architectural statement, timeless, distinctive and truly one of a kind.
The Grounds - Park-Like Beauty All Year Round
The gardens are a living masterpiece. Layers of established planting, specimen trees, open lawns and curated garden spaces reveal colour and texture in every season.
A dedicated orchid house and long sheltered potting bench reflect the love and care invested by past and present owners. A large garden shed and potting area make this property ideal for the passionate gardener or hobby grower.
Perfectly framing the backdrop, a pergola is positioned to capture spectacular views of Mt Taranaki, completing this picture perfect landscape.
