Tucked within the private and peaceful Te Arai Farm Estate, this architecturally designed residence by Matz Architects offers a refined sense of seclusion, set amongst rolling pasture, native bush, paddocks of oak and hazelnut trees supporting the estate's truffle farm and a coastal outlook beyond.
Thoughtfully designed with quality and comfort in mind, it delivers a luxurious yet relaxed lifestyle, equally suited as a permanent home or an easy weekend lock up and leave retreat. Located approximately 10 minutes from Mangawhai Village and Heads beaches, approximately 15 minutes to Te Arai Links Golf Course and 18 minutes to Tara Iti Golf Course, enjoy privacy without compromising accessibility.
The home is arranged across three separate pavilions in a contemporary barn-style design and takes in elevated north-easterly views across native bush, the ocean and surrounding islands. Consistent detailing and quality are evident throughout, including external shutters on two pavilions offering both practical and architectural benefits.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen is well appointed for both everyday use and entertaining, including the natural black stone marble benchtop, a practical scullery, dual ovens, two dishwashers, a wine fridge, condiment fridge and double main refrigeration. Each bedroom is supported by it’s own ensuite, while the petite pavilion alongside the garage incorporates a kitchenette providing flexibility for guests or extended stays.
Alfresco living has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of both privacy and sun, with multiple decking and outside areas seamlessly flowing from all spaces. The concrete heated pool enjoys a sheltered spot that captures the afternoon sun. The louvretec pergola, complete with rain sensors and outdoor blinds, creates a comfortable space to gather year-round, while the wood burner that doubles as a pizza oven, creates ambience and warmth.
The ply lined whitewashed painted garage has been designed with flexibility for a gym or extra guest accommodation as features a pull-down double bed. Full loft storage is an additional benefit.
Surrounding grounds have been landscaped designed for low maintenance, incorporating native planting with ornamental grasses, a small orchard and vegetable garden. A separate utility or stable building provides additional storage or space for equipment, while paddocks are currently grazed intermittently by Te Arai Estate. The estate is fully sealed throughout, allowing for easy year-round access.
This is the kind of setting that naturally suits those who enjoy golf, surfing and the simplicity of a secluded weekend escape.
