Set within a peaceful rural landscape yet conveniently close to town and key transport links, 199 Otaki Gorge Road brings together substantial family living, exceptional versatility and genuine country tranquillity. With plans in place for their next move, the vendors are ready to engage with the market and welcome serious interest.
Fully renovated in 2014, the home has been thoughtfully designed for everyday family life while offering the space and flexibility to host on a much larger scale. At its centre is a beautifully proportioned open-plan living environment, anchored by an impressive feature fireplace and framed by green rural views.
The designer kitchen is both refined and highly practical, with quartzite benchtops and a generously sized, well-equipped butler’s pantry. It is a setting equally suited to quiet family meals, large gatherings and catered occasions. The adjoining living spaces open naturally to a sun-filled deck, one of several outdoor areas positioned to make the most of the light, shelter and surrounding countryside.
Accommodation is substantial, with six bedrooms including two ensuites. A dedicated wing provides excellent separation and creates genuine flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, guests or teenagers seeking their own space. Full double glazing, multiple heat pumps and a substantial central woodburner ensure comfort throughout the seasons.
Outdoor living is one of the property’s defining features. Decks, lawns and poolside spaces provide options for everything from relaxed afternoons to milestone celebrations, while the heated saltwater swimming pool and spa create an inviting setting for family and friends. The expansive grounds offer children room to play and explore, surrounded by the privacy and freedom of a genuine country environment.
Water security has been carefully considered, with two shares in the Te Horo water scheme providing up to 2,000 litres per day, complemented by two 30,000-litre storage tanks. Nearby river access and the reopened Otaki Forks place walking, swimming and the Tararua Range within easy reach, adding another dimension to the lifestyle on offer.
For those requiring serious garaging, storage or workspace, approximately 100 sq m of garaging accommodates six or more vehicles, with dual-aspect access adding everyday practicality.
A separate, self-contained 120 sq m guest cottage further extends the possibilities. Successfully operated through Airbnb and Booking.com, it includes two bedrooms, a kitchen and laundry. It could continue to provide supplementary income or serve as comfortable accommodation for extended family, guests or those attending larger gatherings at the property.
Private, versatile and exceptionally well connected, 199 Otaki Gorge Road offers the scale to bring people together and the space to enjoy a more relaxed way of life.
