194 Kern Road, Ramarama, Franklin, Auckland

Nestled in a prestigious countryside location behind a secure, custom-built gated entrance, this stunning property is surrounded by other high-quality estates. The home is beautifully designed, brimming with thoughtful features that create a warm, future-proof, and highly efficient living space. Although brand new and never lived in, it was never intended as a spec build; the owners originally planned to live here and enjoy the dream home they crafted. However, a shift to farming has prompted the sale.

Spanning approximately 271m², this exquisite single-level home seamlessly combines luxury with the inviting atmosphere of a well-designed family residence. The main living area opens up to expansive Mahogany hardwood decking, complete with two louvre-covered zones ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. A lush lawn offers a perfect space for children to play, or could be an excellent spot for a pool if that’s on your wish list.

The open-plan interior flows effortlessly, with a spacious living/dining area and a well-appointed smart kitchen. The kitchen features induction cooking, two 900mm-wide European A-level energy-efficient ovens, soft-close drawers, matte-finish cabinetry, engineered stone countertops, a matching splashback, double sink, built-in extraction, and pendant lighting. Both the entertainer and the home cook will appreciate the highly functional design of this space.

The formal lounge, separated by cavity sliders, offers a cozy retreat with plush charcoal carpeting and a large window that frames beautiful views of the rolling countryside, creating a serene ambiance.

The home includes four generous double bedrooms, all with large built-in wardrobes. The master suite is especially spacious, with a large walk-in robe and a bright, modern ensuite featuring stylish gunmetal tapware, dual rain showerheads, shower slides, twin vanities, and heated LED mirrors. The family bathroom echoes the same sleek design with a twin vanity, back-to-wall bath, and a tiled glass shower.

It doesn’t end there… Alongside the breathtaking home, the property also boasts a spacious 10x15m shed, fully equipped with 3-phase power, a high stud ceiling, and three 3x3m electric roller doors. One of the bays features an enhanced concrete floor, ideal for installing a hoist if needed. This thoughtfully designed space is perfect for storing your toys and tackling various projects. It’s a versatile addition that significantly boosts the property’s value. Surrounding the home and shed, you’ll find an expansive area of reclaimed asphalt pavement, offering ample parking for a variety of vehicles.

The property spans 2.86 ha (7 acres), blending beautifully landscaped gardens, native and fruiting trees, a covenanted bush corner, a riparian corridor, and generous grazing land.

With outstanding indoor and outdoor amenities, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in a sought-after location. The design seamlessly combines modern sophistication with inviting warmth and comfort. This could be your family’s dream home—schedule a viewing soon, as it’s sure to attract significant interest.
