Achieve the ultimate lifestyle, with this attractive architectural home, set on private 7.2 hectare wonderland close to beaches, with an extensive and impressive list of improvements. In addition to the home, owners have sheds, studios, offices, gardens, orchards, native bush and more to enjoy. The main house is uniquely designed, featuring a sheltered and sun-drenched courtyard and chefs' kitchen, and is constructed with Douglas Fir framing, plus extensive use of Macrocarpa and Cedar.
For keen gardeners, the property is adorned with delightful floral and vegetable gardens, plus bountiful orchard trees, well-established and a pleasure to nurture and enjoy. A selection of sheds will be a dream for collectors and enthusiasts, also providing shelter for the implements. You really need to see them to appreciate the scope. Ideal for those able to work from home, there's a freestanding office, plus a second less-official, but no less-useable space as well. A self-contained sleepout/studio is positioned in a private location on the property, separate from the dwelling area. With a spacious tiled bathroom, sunny decks and a hot water outdoor bath, there's plenty of ways to utilise this excellent feature. Regenerating and replanted native bush features a network of tracks, some for walking and some ATV-capable, taking you to discover a peaceful pond, nikau grove and magical glow worms. Also snuggled into the private bush, a romantic wood-fired bath just below the house is the perfect place to unwind and listen to Kiwi calling. For those who would like to try their hand at winemaking- grape vines are established for the hobby vineyard, and there's even an in-ground wine cellar. Infrastructure is well and truly covered, with a huge water supply, including 8 tanks and approximately 230,000 litres of storage, in addition to flowing water for the gardens. The property is completely off-grid, with a modern solar system using quality German componentry, producing 5.7kW from 22 solar panels, allowing the owners to live a completely normal lifestyle without power bills or outages. There's even subdivision potential, with an elevated site overlooking Castle Rock and Whangapoua Harbour. Properties like this are rare, and seldom on the market. There's much more than can be described here, so if you have an interest, we encourage you to visit and experience for yourself.
