Set on 1.27ha (more or less) of contoured land, this exceptional lifestyle property offers beautifully landscaped gardens and sweeping rural views. The elevated position of the home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise outlook and privacy, capturing stunning country vistas from every angle.

The main residence is a high-spec five year old Golden Home, offering approximately 295sqm (more or less) of well-designed living, built with entertaining and everyday comfort in mind. Wide hallways and doorways provide easy wheelchair access, while expansive windows throughout flood the home with natural light and frame uninterrupted rural views.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, complete with a butler's pantry and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Sliding doors open to a covered outdoor entertaining zone featuring a saltwater swimming pool, outdoor fire, hot outdoor shower and space for a spa, an entertainer's dream in every season. Ducted air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.

The home offers four spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite that feels like a private retreat, with walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite. The thoughtful layout provides excellent separation, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and rumpus on one wing, and the master suite plus an additional bedroom on the other. A separate guest toilet, laundry and double internal-access garaging complete the home.

Adding further value is a self-contained unit of approximately 50sqm (more or less), ideal for extended family, guests, or additional income.

Outside, the property continues to impress with native bush, visiting birdlife, several paddocks, a large implement shed, and even a dedicated helicopter landing area. Water supply is well catered for with two 30,000 litre tanks.

This is a property where every detail has been carefully considered with many extras best appreciated in person. Ideally located just a short drive to Pukekohe and surrounding amenities, this is lifestyle living at its finest.
