Perfectly positioned on 1.7 hectares of elevated land, an inviting feature timber gated entry leads you to this stylish rural retreat which blends clever design, modern finishes and serene countryside views.

The original 2000's cottage has been cleverly fully renovated (recently issued CCC) into a chic two bedroom country escape showcasing a contemporary low maintenance mix of corrugated steel and board-and-batten cladding in striking contrasting colours with custom joinery. The attention to detail continues inside where polished concrete floors, raking ceilings and skylights create a sense of space and light.

The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area flows seamlessly through stacking sliders to generous timber decking and landscaped lawn area framing the picturesque view - the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet retreat. Feature trusses and a curved feature wall with vertical cedar battens enhance the home's architectural flair. The open plan modern kitchen is both stylish and functional with kitchen island bench linking beautifully into the dining area, complete with stacking slider access to the rear sheltered courtyard.

Two bedrooms include a spacious master with direct outdoor access, while the fully tiled bathroom offers a feeling of luxurious indulgence with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, gas continuous hot water and custom vanity.

A separate large circa 38m2 workroom/studio/rumpus with the laundry area offers exceptional flexibility - perfect for a home-based business, creative pursuits, storage, or conversion to potential guest overflow.

The cherry on the top of this amazing offering is the second driveway access leading to a level cleared platform enjoying a sweeping rural vista - offering future possibilities such as construction of further storage for vehicles or build another dwelling (subject to council requirements) and rent the other for additional income.

Enjoy a sense of privacy and peace in your uber cool lock up and leave - all a short country drive to Rics Cafe at Te Arai Links, plus the wonderful surf beach of Te Arai or Mangawhai. With its blend of architectural flair, premium finishes, and stunning rural outlooks, this property represents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking the ultimate lifestyle escape so close to Auckland city.
