Description

Auction: RDR65Q23E5ZJ0VZW0AH7 on Wednesday 10 December 2025 at 5:00AM (unless sold prior)

This black board and batten home, built in 2014, features double glazed joinery, copper spouting and colour steel roof resides on 6244 square metres, (1.54 acres) of lush gently contoured land. Electric gates off a shared private driveway at the end of a public road open to a concrete driveway fanning out to accommodate parking for numerous vehicles of all sizes.

Contemporary design celebrates this home’s north west-facing living aspect and with elevated views over the neighboring pond, rolling farmland, grazing cattle, and picture perfect sunsets. Sundrenched open plan living areas spill out through bi-fold door window walls to covered wrap around Kwila decks stepping down to a large concrete patio and open air recreation complete with in-built gabion basket seating and easy-care landscaped gardens. Idyllic scenic leisure and entertaining and picturesque relocation areas also accessed via double doors from three of the four bedrooms.

Family living is light-filled and spacious, boasting a 2.7 metre ceiling height, a heat pump and a light colour palette complementing solid Oak flooring throughout the ultra-stylish lounge, dining and country-style kitchen with plentiful cabinetry, accent splash-backs and stainless steel appliances. Off a hallway with cavity sliding door, a sleek fully tiled family bathroom with bath, separate shower and wall hung vanity services three of the picturesque bedrooms. All three feature built-in wardrobes and two flow out to the north-west deck. The adjacent laundry is well equipped with generous bench space and storage. Super-spacious, scenic and sunlit, the master bedroom wing features soaring 3.2 metre ceilings, a large walk-in robe with built-in storage, stylish floor to ceiling tiled ensuite with double hung vanity and access to the covered deck.

Outdoors, a lawn area provides great play space for children and pets, there are 3 concrete water tanks, raised vegetable gardens, fruit trees including lemons, plums, apricots and pears and native trees attracting beautiful birdlife including Tui. Consent for a 2 storey garage was originally applied for and granted however our vendors decided not to go ahead with its construction and are happy to share the drawings with a prospective purchaser. Our vendors love this property however it is now time to up-size as their family grows so bring yours along for early inspection as this deluxe home in its excellent surrounds is sure to quickly find its new owner.
