A private sanctuary with a view to remember

Some homes impress you with their features. Others simply make you feel something the moment you walk through the door. This architecturally designed home by INK Architecture does both.

Built in 2019 and offered to the market for the first time, its cedar cladding and modern aesthetic have been carefully considered to blend with the natural environment. Stretching across the site, the home captures arguably one of the finest views towards Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. Picture windows frame the landscape, while tui, kaka, kereru and pheasants bring life to a backdrop that changes with the skies and seasons.

Inside, there is an immediate sense of space and calm. Soaring 3.6m studs bring volume to the open-plan living area, where a designer kitchen and substantial scullery sit at the heart of the home. With a second dishwasher and wine fridge, the scullery keeps the practical side of entertaining tucked away, while a gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere. A separate media room offers somewhere to retreat when a quieter evening calls.

The floorplan has been thoughtfully arranged for family life. Along one wing, three bedrooms and an office sit alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom with underfloor heating and a fully tiled walk-in shower, complemented by a separate toilet with basin. Each bedroom has double wardrobes and opens onto the covered patio, then out to the lawn. At the opposite end, the master suite is a peaceful retreat. Generous picture windows draw the landscape in, while a substantial walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite with underfloor heating and a tiled walk-in shower complete the space. Direct patio access invites a quiet morning coffee, with provision for a future spa adding another possibility for unwinding outdoors.

The same thoughtful approach extends to the practical spaces. A generous laundry and double garage with built-in cabinetry provide excellent storage, while ducted heating keeps the home comfortable year-round. Provision for a future Louvretec system offers scope to further enhance outdoor living.

Set on 3,511sqm (more or less), the grounds offer a taste of country life without the workload of a larger lifestyle property. Carefully considered, low-maintenance landscaping includes vegetable gardens, a sandpit and trampoline, and a paddock for a few pet lambs. There is also room to explore a pool, shed or tiny home, subject to applicable covenants and the necessary approvals.

Despite the peaceful setting, Cambridge is only around 13 minutes away, with school bus options for intermediate and high school adding to the everyday convenience.

Private, peaceful and beautifully connected to its surroundings, this is the kind of home you return to at the end of the day, close the door behind you and simply breathe.

A hidden gem that needs to be experienced to appreciate just how special it feels.

Country Charm and a Barn to Match

Through the timber gates, a tree-lined driveway leads between two paddocks, with cherry blossoms adding to the appeal of this lovely Tauwhare setting. As the home comes into view, its colonial styling and welcoming verandah introduce a property with all the makings of a wonderful family lifestyle.

Set on 9,409sqm (more or less), the home blends colonial charm with the ease of modern living, with double glazing adding everyday comfort throughout. The kitchen & dining enjoys an outlook across the grounds, with a breakfast bar for casual catch-ups and a walk-in pantry keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

The lounge opens to a lovely courtyard, where summer barbecues and long lunches can spill outdoors. Beyond, the large, private lawn provides a beautiful outlook, plenty of space for backyard cricket and room to explore the option of adding a swimming pool.
Along the hallway, four bedrooms accommodate family and guests, complemented by a family bathroom. Positioned at one end, the master has its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, with doors opening to a separate courtyard and spa pool area—an inviting spot to unwind at the end of the day.

The two paddocks offer options for a pony or a couple of cattle, bringing that much-loved Kiwi country lifestyle a little closer. Internal-access double garaging with garage carpet takes care of everyday convenience, while the substantial three-bay American style barn will be a real drawcard for those wanting room for the boat or extra cars to tools and weekend interests, there’s plenty here to get enthusiastic about.

An implement shed and garden storage complete the practical setup, while both the robot lawnmower and ride-on mower are included to make caring for the grounds that much easier.

Cambridge, Hamilton and Morrinsville remain conveniently within reach, while zoning for Tauwhare Primary, Berkley Intermediate, Hillcrest High School and Cambridge High School adds to the appeal for families.

Town and Country

If you’re wanting to go country - but you don’t want to leave town - then this is the property for you. One ninety-eight Earnscleugh Road offers an elegant five-bedroom two-bathroom home on more than three hectares of well-fenced flat land, just 1.2 kilometres from Alexandra. The new owners of this leafy, established property can enjoy the space, privacy, and lifestyle a block this size typically offers as well as the convenience of living very close to town.

The large 1995-built designed-for-the-sun plaster home sits at the back of the property and is linked to Earnscleugh Road via a private meandering cherry blossom tree lined driveway. The house is surrounded by beautiful well-established trees and shrubs. The back of the home has a grand English-estate-like symmetrical entrance, which leads through to the main living area and front entrance, which opens out to a very pleasant entertaining area, lawn and garden.

Most of this substantial light-filled home faces north with the master bedroom, walk-in-wardrobe, and ensuite at the eastern end of the house. Another three double bedrooms - all with built in wardrobes - are at the nor-western wing of the house. An open plan kitchen dining and living area, as well as a second living space make up the rest of the northern side of the home. A log burner and diesel fire heat this area, while the rural outlook through the double-glazed windows and doors is delightful.

A family bathroom, a fifth double bedroom, an office and a separate laundry with internal access to the double garage - all linked by a large hallway with floor to ceiling windows - complete the package. This is a lovely warm house with a great, homely feel to it.

Outside, the garden and the paddocks are well set up with fixed sprinklers and plenty of irrigation quota. The wee farm has a central lane for stock movement and then there’s the shedding. There’s plenty – a single garage, a three-bay implement shed with sheep yards for shearing, as well as a huge ‘high-stud’ shed with lockable roller doors, verandah, toilet and laundry facilities. A caravan pad with power and water is close by.

Close to the Clutha River with those Dunstan Mountains in the background, this leafy property has taken decades to knock into shape. The huge house is as solid as a rock. The sheds are in place. The fences are up. The sprinklers are in the ground. The trees, shrubs and plants are established. Imagine what this property would set you back if you were going to start from scratch. Conveniently located to Alexandra - remember just 1,200 metres from town - you’d struggle find a better property to invest in.

198 Earnscleugh Road, Alexandra - your future starts here.

The recently fully renovated tiled bathrooms bring a fresh and modern finish, with two bathrooms positioned upstairs and a combined third bathroom and laundry downstairs.

A gas fire, log fire, underfloor heating and double glazing provide dependable comfort through every season.

Outdoor living is a standout feature.

Nearby, the fenced and heated saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by decking and sits privately within the picturesque, well-sheltered grounds.

Together, these provide ample scope for storage, hobbies and projects.
