Future-Forward Luxury Lifestyle

Designed for efficiency, technology and long-term living, this supersized home elevates the lifestyle brief with a blend of smart systems, eco performance and family flexibility.

Settled into its landscape, the home makes an immediate impression, with contemporary interiors by Rarebird elevating a floor plan that supports every stage of family life.

Multiple living zones layer the social spaces, including a separate media room and bi-folds that open out to the expansive entertainer's deck and swimming pool, establishing a standout arena for all-season entertaining.

The kitchen is specified for performance, with a walk-through butler's pantry, a built-in coffee machine, and a wine fridge, ensuring the space runs seamlessly from morning brews through to nightcaps.

Accommodation is extensive, led by an upper-level master suite with genuine sanctuary status, offering his-and-her robes, dual en-suites, its own living space and balcony, while downstairs two fully tiled bathrooms support three bedrooms plus a second bedroom with en-suite. A dedicated office claims a distinct wing and private entry, transforming it into a turnkey space for a home-based business or further accommodation.

The home's smart infrastructure drives its modern identity, with an app-based system that operates electric blinds and lighting, manages hot water remotely, and oversees CCTV with number-plate recognition.

With further scope to integrate sound and additional automation, the platform future-proofs the home with ease. Fifty-four solar panels and an EV charger strengthen its eco footprint, substantially reducing running costs and reinforcing its long-term sustainability.

A triple garage secures parking, while a hobby paddock concludes this exceptionally well-appointed 1-hectare (2.5 acres approx.) package.

Within five minutes of Silverdale's shops, the park-and-ride and motorway access, and only ten minutes from Orewa's beach and cafe scene, the setting keeps daily life effortless while delivering the space and seclusion of a lifestyle setting.
