The owners have only recently made Glenbervie home. Ill health has changed their plans, and their instructions are clear. They need a prompt sale.

This impressive 533sqm residence pairs generous proportions with a warm, contemporary interior. The open-plan kitchen and dining area are sized for large gatherings, with a butler’s pantry to keep the preparation out of sight.

Three living areas give family and guests room to spread out. The main lounge has raked ceilings and picture windows that frame the gardens, while wide sliders open to an expansive north-facing deck with covered dining overlooking the inground pool.

Upstairs, the main suite has an ensuite and private balcony. Three generous bedrooms and two further bathrooms are on the main level, and the home has triple garaging with internal access. The large rumpus doubles as guest accommodation for the owners’ B&B and could also serve as a fifth bedroom.

The property offers several ways to earn an income from home. A separate modern cottage is already tenanted, while B&B accommodation and a dedicated area for overnight motorhome stays offer scope for additional income. Riders visiting Glenbervie Forest can also stay on the property, with stabling available for their horses.

Set well back from the road on Glenbervie’s Golden Mile, the 1.7 hectare property takes in sweeping lawns and mature trees, with a utility shed and potable bore water supply. Whangārei and the Tutukākā Coast are both within easy reach.

Priced for action.
