A rural retreat with a wide and wonderful coastal panorama.

 

Down a short avenue-like drive, nestled in a big easy country garden packed with native trees, this charming home enjoys a glorious coastal panorama; from the Hen and Chicken Islands to Mayor and Mauao, everchanging by day and pretty at night.

 

Built in the 1990s in brick and cedar, its a welcoming and interesting home of craftsmanship, character and comfort, with beautiful rimu features, notably in soaring ceilings and kitchen cabinetry. Decks wrap living areas and master suite. Love the way the lounge has a view side and a hunker down with TV side. Retire in luxury to a generous master suite where you could put a hot tub on the deck right outside the large ensuite. Or soak in the spa bath under the stars in the conservatory style downstairs bathroom. More living space links bedrooms/rumpus room and third bathroom under the eaves on the upper level.

 

Enough flat grazing for a few beasts or a couple of ponies on the 1.5620 hectares and extra sheds, one in the paddock, one in the home grounds, for ample storage and workshop.

 

In the grounds wide grassy paths wind round mature trees and shrubs, ponga and ponds. There’s bountiful birdlife, even the odd kiwi, and local river access. A rural retreat with the world at your feet, ideal for a family who relish country life with reasonable proximity to urban convenience, or for active retirees who enjoy entertaining and having family and friends to stay.
