Idyllic country retreat

When our current owners moved here from England, they desired peace and tranquility, an extremely large but manageable section, a home built for the sun and big bedrooms and multiple living areas for the expected hordes of visiting children and grandchildren.
Here they found their piece of paradise.
With four large bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house, and a self-contained one bedroom ensuited Family Flat with its own patio, this property is simply stunning.
Predominantly block construction, fully double-glazed, well insulated and with heating options including a log-burner and a heat-pump, this home embodies warm and cosy.
Rimu floors and panelling, the stained glass in the entrance lobby, a magnificent library flowing to a private sheltered courtyard and a Juliet balcony off the master bedroom are all exquisite touches that typify the style and elegance that are an intrinsic part of this stately home.
The consented Family Flat with its own sheltered patio, is double-glazed and Healthy Homes certified.
For the garden enthusiast the hard work has all been done. Established fruit trees, enclosed garden beds, built in irrigation and low maintenance native plantings designed to encourage bird life, combine with shaded pergolas and built in garden seating to create a glorious setting the envy of all who visit.
It's easy to while away a balmy afternoon on the covered verandah, or join your friends for a glass of wine on the established petanque court, as the kids discover the magic of the Wendy House built in the nearby trees.
Country style living within easy reach of the city doesn't get any better than this.
This unique and extremely appealing property in a tranquil location will be highly sought after and may not make it to deadline day, so enquire now for further information.
