ENJOY THE SIMPLE LIFE ANCHORED BY A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Blending into the environment and part of the 2013 House and Garden Tour, this large French inspired concrete home sits proudly on an elevated knoll overlooking the countryside. The 9,295 sqm section is the ideal size for a lifestyle property with room for the children’s pony and pets.

First impressions give you a sense of nostalgic charm, from the rustic gates and pebbled courtyard to the 300-year-old front door imported from France, which was a vital feature when building the house.

The landscaping and gardens play an important role in the property. Terraced gardens with walking tracks are flanked by an abundance of ever changing colourful shrubs and a thoughtfully planted orchard will bring you joy all year round. Garden enthusiasts will marvel over the attention to detail both aesthetically and with the plantings.

The large floor plan of the main residence is made up of 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a big laundry room, wine cellar, butler’s pantry and numerous storage areas. The concrete polished floors are heated, and the internal walls are plastered over concrete block. The top floor is solely dedicated to the master suite.

Directly from the main lounge and kitchen area is the large covered alfresco entertaining area. With an open fireplace for ambience and warmth, this is an all year round entertainment area. Sheltered from the winds and looking directly out to the valley, you can imagine you are basking in the sun in the south of France.

In addition, there is a large boat-shed which could be utilized for a multitude of hobbies and business ideas. Above the garage is a purpose-built studio or additional guest accommodation.

Clevedon Coast Oysters is a mere five minutes’ drive, as is popular Clevedon Farmers’ Market for your local artisan produce and supplies. Duders Beach is a great place to walk and Waitawa Regional Park is ideal for mountain biking, walking and fishing.
