Comprising 3.9 hectares of resplendent rural land just a five minute drive from Kumeu village, this private estate presents country living at its best. Cherished by the current family for 12 years, it's been a place to gather, connect and make memories in paradise.
A sealed driveway winds up from the road to the classic and comfortable residence. This is enveloped with five generous paddocks, areas of covenanted native bush, a four bay shed with roller doors and a bridge-covered culvert stream. There is also ample off-street parking available, with a double garage, tandem carport and extra space for boats and campers.
The solid brick home's inspired design showcases the landscape from every room, as well as creates many different spaces to retreat to. Rich timber has been used extensively throughout, which creates an inviting, calming and cosy ambiance inside.
A heat pump warms the lounge, casual dining and kitchen areas, which flow out to the sun soaked northeast-facing saltwater pool complex. It's suspended above the grounds below and enjoys lovely native bush and rural views as far as the eye can see. Well-established gardens feature many mature trees, including some of the original plum trees from when the area was made up of orchards, as well as raised vege beds.
Back inside, the formal lounge and dining provides extra living and entertaining space, as does the upper level. This unique area wraps around the stairwell and provides flexibility for working, hobbies and relaxing.
All the bedrooms are well separated and provide options for families at all stages. The generous master suite has a walk-in robe and ensuite with spa bath, while another privately positioned, ensuited bedroom has its own outdoor access and could be an ideal guest room or Airbnb. The three remaining bedrooms share the family bathroom and there is plenty of storage throughout.
It's now time for the next owners to start their lifetime of memories here.
