Tranquil oasis – Award-winning home

Nestled amongst subtropical gardens with a serene outlook, this truly one-of-a-kind home is a remarkable find. Custom-designed by our owners and built by David Reid Homes in 2016, this award-winning home reflects exceptional quality and craftsmanship throughout.

As you approach the property, the expansive, exposed river pebble driveway, framed by lush greenery, immediately evokes a sense of tranquility. Step into an oasis of peace and calm, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

Boasting a generous 2.7m stud height throughout, this home offers a sense of openness and natural light. The wide hallways and doors have been designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring ease of movement for all stages of life.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area - perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring high-end finishes including integrated dishwasher drawers, a double wall oven, and a large induction cooktop. Soft-close drawers and cupboards in a tasteful colour palette, paired with engineered stone benchtops, complete the space. A standout feature is the stunning glass art splashback, which blends in beautifully with the home’s serene surroundings.

The living areas flow seamlessly onto a spacious Kwila hardwood timber deck, partially covered and surrounded by well-established subtropical gardens. With elevated views towards the bush-clad banks of the Waitangi River Reserve, this is the perfect space for outdoor entertaining or relaxing after a long day.

Accommodation includes three generously sized bedrooms, each with a stylish timber ceiling fan. The master suite is a private retreat, situated in its own wing and featuring a modern, well-appointed ensuite, a walk-in robe with a window, and direct access to the outdoor living area. The two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom with a separate powder room for added convenience. Both the family bathroom and the ensuite offer large, fully tiled walk-in showers with adjustable rain shower fittings. The ensuite also includes a hydrotherapy spa bath - perfect for unwinding in luxury, and with solar tube hot water heating, the cost of running a bath is not a concern.

For added practicality, an office space provides the ideal environment for working from home, while the spacious, carpeted double garage features a well-appointed laundry area.

No detail has been overlooked in this home, with a range of premium upgrades including double-glazed Argon gas windows for UV protection, mostly solid core doors for enhanced noise reduction, and high-quality wool carpets with underlay throughout. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry are all tiled, while the Smart Vent Evolve system assists in keeping your home at a comfortable temperature and humidity level year-round.

Outside, north-facing decks provide peaceful views, while the meticulously landscaped 752sqm section strikes the perfect balance—spacious enough to ensure privacy, yet manageable in size for easy upkeep. The garden features four distinct water features, adding character and tranquility to the outdoor space, along with pebbled garden paths and paving squares.

The location is second to none – located down a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is only a short walk from a secluded swimming hole and sandy beach along the picturesque Waitangi River. The iconic Haruru Falls and walking track are nearby, and Paihia, the gateway to the coastal lifestyle of the Bay of Islands, is just 6km away. Here, you'll find waterfront bars, cafes, beaches, and a boat ramp. The larger town of Kerikeri is also within easy reach, and the property is located within the Kerikeri High School zone, making it ideal for families.

This truly exceptional home must be seen to be believed. Come to an open home Contact us today to arrange a private viewing and experience the peace and luxury for yourself.
