Secluded Sanctuary + Great Garaging
Escape to your own secluded haven right in the heart of Thames, where tranquillity, comfort, and convenience harmoniously meet. Tucked away at the end of a long, bush-lined driveway, this architecturally designed home sits proudly on 3,180m² (more or less) of lush, landscaped grounds, offering a rare lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful native setting.
Bordering a reserve and surrounded by towering Kauri trees, Rimu, Totara, Nikau palms and vibrant gardens, this property is a sanctuary for birds and people alike. The land features fruit-bearing trees including apricot, pear, grapefruit, mandarin, orange, plum, apple and lemonade to name a few, bringing both beauty and bounty to your doorstep.
Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the home boasts split-level living, with soaring high ceilings and thoughtfully placed windows flooding the interior with natural light. The construction is a timeless mix of cedar and ply exterior, complemented by cedar louvre windows and upgraded double skin glazing throughout, creating a warm, efficient, and visually striking living space.
The kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with quality Smeg appliances, gas cooking, abundant bench and storage space plus charming Kauri benchtops. The Kauri balustrades and Rimu timber flooring (currently beneath the carpet within the living areas) continue the theme of natural elegance, while stained glass windows enhance the sense of character throughout the home.
Year-round comfort is assured with a wood-burning fireplace, heat pump and full insulation, while the brand-new hot water cylinder, gas cooking and gas hot water offer modern convenience. A new heavy gauge, rolled colour steel roof was also installed in 2014, providing long-term durability.
The layout offers versatility and space for growing families. There are three generously sized bedrooms, including a master suite that features a walk-in wardrobe, a private balcony plus a spacious ensuite bathroom with a spa bath. Two living areas provide ample room for families to unwind while entertaining is a breeze with both living areas opening out onto a large wrap-around deck, with roll down blinds extending the living space, year-round.
Outdoor living is a key highlight, with multiple entertainment spaces ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. You'll also find a freestanding outdoor bath, perfect for soaking under the stars, as well as a children's treehouse. For those with practical needs, the property offers excellent storage and workspace options including a double internal access garage, a separate double garage with an attached rumpus room, two garden sheds, and a high-stud carport ideal for a boat, campervan, or larger vehicles.
This property also offers exciting potential for future development, with the size of the land and existing layout presenting a strong opportunity for subdivision (subject to council approval). Additionally, the home's layout lends itself well to Airbnb hosting or multi-generational living, making it not only a tranquil retreat but a smart investment!
