Elevated Oasis with Breathtaking Sea Views

Perched high above the landscape, with stunning panoramic views of lush green, bush-clad hills, the glistening harbour below, Limestone Island, and Onerahi Airport, this expansive family home is nestled in a beautiful private garden setting.

There are five bedrooms in total, plus an outside cabin. The master bedroom features wooden floors, a raked wooden ceiling, a gorgeous ensuite with a tiled shower, a walk-in wardrobe, and a heat pump. There is an equally sized carpeted guest bedroom, also with a raked wooden ceiling, ensuite, and built-in wardrobe. Another carpeted double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe, while the remaining two bedrooms are currently used as a music studio and an office.

The open-plan living and dining room showcases beautiful raked wooden ceilings and wooden floors, opening out onto a large entertainer's deck. The living room is equipped with its own heat pump, a Kent fireplace, and a heat transfer system that services all the bedrooms, study, and office, keeping the home warm and energy-efficient during cooler months. Off the living room is the guest bathroom, complete with an over-bath shower. The kitchen is traditionally functional, offering ample storage and bench space, and includes a butler's alcove leading to the laundry room, with a door that opens out onto the deck and clothesline.

Front and rear conservatories are off the hallway, ideal for following the sun throughout the day. Outside is a hot and cold shower (adding to the 3 indoor showers), a greenhouse with a bath (hot and cold water), and a fire pit with all-around seating and a fire-brick floor, perfect for entertaining under the stars. Additionally, there is an outdoor short-drop toilet, undoubtedly offering the best views in Northland.

The double garage, complete with an electric door, features a workshop, a concrete floor, electricity, and a full shelving wall. There is also a double carport.

Next to the garage is the cabin/sleepout, which has electricity and a large covered entrance with an Italian marble courtyard. Its distance from the main house offers privacy and peacefulness, making it an ideal retreat for teenagers or an art studio.

This stunning, fully-fenced property is the perfect safe haven for pets and children. Along with the fully metalled driveway and a large turnaround and parking area, there are three dry firewood storage areas (with a 5-cubic-meter capacity), two concrete water tanks (recently refurbished and relined, with a 20-year guarantee), extensive tree planting, including olive and citrus trees, and well-established garden areas.

For sale by Tender, closing 2:00 pm Thursday 21 November (vendor reserves the right to sell before tender date).
