Set on an expansive 6,823sqm lifestyle section just a few minutes’ drive from Katikati, this versatile property offers peaceful country living with space, substance and flexibility for large or extended families.
Completed in 2007, it has been held by its original owner ever since. With 343sqm of build spread across two dwellings, this home has been thoughtfully designed and constructed to an exceptional standard, exceeding building code requirements in multiple ways to future proof the home. The owner invested in many thoughtful upgrades, including enhanced framing, high-quality joinery, extra deep footings and insulation that meets South Island standards. Timber weatherboard cladding, a traditional bullnose veranda, high ceilings, oak flooring and double glazing throughout reflects a home of enduring quality. This home is solid and built to stand the test of time.
At the heart of the home, a generous, sunlight-filled kitchen and dining area forms a natural hub for busy family life. A large lounge, centred around a gas fireplace, offers warmth and classy comfort, while an additional living space provides flexibility for families to spread out and come together with ease.
Privately positioned in its own wing, the master suite is a true retreat, complete with an oversized ensuite, substantial walk-in wardrobe and french doors opening onto the north facing deck. The remaining three bedrooms in the main home are all generous doubles, each with large wardrobes, supported by excellent storage throughout the rest of the home.
Adding further versatility, a separate older outbuilding includes a large high-stud garage, ideal for oversized vehicles, special projects or workshop use. Adjoining this is an independent overflow accommodation space, featuring a bedroom, study and an open plan living space with a private garden aspect. The unit offers valuable additional space for extended family, guests, or work-from-home options.
Outdoors, the lifestyle offering continues with a flat grazing paddock, established fruit trees and thoughtfully landscaped grounds, with definite scope to further enhance. The property is on town supply water with a 20,000-litre tank and also has an easement right to draw water from a Kaimai river for your very own, personal water supply.
With room to grow, space to breathe and quality evident at every turn, this is a compelling lifestyle property where families can settle in and enjoy for decades to come. Come and see quality for yourself.
