This sprawling country estate found at the end of your own private driveway is filled with adventures and dreams. Over 7.4 acres of the native bush and orchard encircle the north-facing traditional barn-conversion of Crindau Lodge incorporating a very beautiful two-bedroom accommodation annexe for up to five guests which currently yields good income from regular Air BNB and online bookings on www.crindaulodge.co.nz.
The main homestead built-in 1982, is elevated to enhance the distant inner harbour, Mauao and Mayor Island views tantalizingly framed by ponga fern fronds, flaxes and mature native and exotic trees. Abundant native birdlife of tui, fantails, and kereru flourish here singing their melodies to awaken you each morning in your natural oasis. Gather those you love and socialize with around a pizza oven and barbecue while an intimately located spa pool provides a blissful retreat from the hustle and bustle.
The lodge’s elegant interior pays splendid homage to the best of French Provincial and English countryside styles tastefully illustrated in its soft tones of blues, creams and whites. High ceilings, traditional wainscoting, and feature walls are all underpinned by honey-coloured timber floors and robust sisal carpeting. Accommodation in the main house offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms with the master ensuite. Arresting garden and distant views mean you have something beautiful to appreciate from almost every room.
This is a home ideally suited to those looking for a sea change, a healthy lifestyle to raise the family and those with dependent relatives living in. Or, continue to run the accommodation. Within minutes to Katikati and Waihi beach or to soak in Athenree’s hot thermal pools, this is a fabulous property offering much to the discerning buyer chasing the dream.
