Set against a backdrop of rolling countryside and framed by post-and-rail fencing, this Hulena Architecture created residence delivers a refined expression of modern rural living—elevated in both position and its design-led execution. Crafted by Henry Morgan Builders with an uncompromising commitment to detail, the home spans approximately 413 sqm and rests on just under 6.5 hectares of pristine land.
Entirely clad in cedar, with standing seam roof, the home presents a sleek yet understated silhouette upon arrival—complimenting its natural surroundings while making a quietly confident statement. From its elevated vantage point, uninterrupted vistas stretch toward Mount Kakepuku and Mount Pirongia, anchoring the home firmly within its landscape.
Inside, soaring pitched ceilings and overheight stud immediately establish a sense of scale and volume. Thoughtful architectural detailing—overheight doors, negative skirting finishes, and a refined material palette—underscore the home’s craftsmanship. The expansive open-plan living domain is both welcoming and sophisticated, with warm oak flooring, a striking schist fireplace, and seamless connection to the outdoors.
Entertaining is easy, with the interior living mirrored by an outdoor entertaining zone complete with a fireplace and louvre system—perfectly positioned to capture the views. A well-appointed kitchen, complete with walk-in pantry, connects to a private courtyard ideal for relaxed evenings and alfresco dining.
Accommodation is thoughtfully configured across two wings. The primary suite is a true retreat, occupying its own private domain with a walk-in robe, a fully tiled ensuite featuring a bath and luxury shower, and a built-in window seat designed to capture sun and serenity. Sliding doors provide direct outdoor access. The additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with built-in storage, while one offers a modest walk-in solution. A beautifully appointed family bathroom mirrors the quality and aesthetic of the ensuite.
Flexibility is a hallmark of this home, with a substantial dedicated office offering independent access—perfect for a home business or easily adapted as a fifth bedroom. A media room on the lower level provides an intimate, cosy escape, while upstairs, a third living space offers the ideal retreat for children or teenagers.
Further features include underfloor heating, dual HRV systems, integrated surround sound, solar power with battery storage, EV charger, a large separate laundry, and triple car garaging - comfort and efficiency at every turn.
The land has been carefully considered, with expansive flat lawns encapsulating the home, framed by established native plantings. Eight well-fenced paddocks, each with water supply, along with a three-bay shed with 3 phase power, and cattle yards, complete the true lifestyle offering.
Located just minutes north of Otorohanga—a welcoming township with a strong sense of community—and within easy reach of Te Awamutu, this is a property that delivers absolute country living, executed with elegance, scale, and sophistication
