Tucked away in a sunny, open basin within the peaceful surrounds of Marble Mountain countryside, 111 Bates Road offers a truly special lifestyle opportunity where privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony. Set across an impressive 15.7674 hectares, this peaceful retreat hidden from traffic noise enjoys a secluded setting offering grassland, a home orchard, regenerating native bush, and a small spring-fed stream within its borders, creating an atmosphere of serenity that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Built in 2009 and more recently beautifully upgraded, the home has been designed to embrace its natural surroundings while offering modern comfort and efficiency. Influenced by European-inspired décor, the interiors are warm, inviting, and filled with character. Sun-drenched living spaces capture the surrounding bush and rural vistas, while double glazing, full insulation, and dual power systems incorporating both mains electricity and solar energy provide year-round comfort and practicality.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen flows effortlessly into the open-plan dining area, creating an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. A generously large separate lounge offers a welcoming place to relax, with a fireplace adding warmth and ambience during the cooler months, while a ground-level guest bathroom/laundry adds further convenience. The second level incorporates a huge main bedroom opening to a breakfast deck and a very well-appointed modern ensuite bathroom with a view you need to see to appreciate. A beautifully renovated, double-glazed and fully insulated ex-garage outbuilding just a few steps across the home's courtyard provides comfortable extra accommodation for guests, while quality fixtures and thoughtful design features enhance the home's appeal throughout.
Stepping outside, the connection to nature becomes even more apparent. Expansive outdoor living areas invite you to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, whether it's your morning coffee accompanied by birdsong or an evening spent soaking in the tranquillity of the native bush setting. The property's partially fenced grounds include a dog run and cage, and a gorgeously restored rustic bus-style accommodation unit is also included within this tranquil, sun-drenched mountain retreat. Conveniently located just a short drive from local attractions including the Wool Shed Café, the fascinating Ngarua Caves, and the renowned Harwoods Hole, this unique property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, a weekend escape, or a lifestyle property immersed in nature, 111 Bates Road presents an exceptional opportunity to secure your own piece of paradise in one of the region's most picturesque locations.
