Idyllic Lifestyle Retreat
Making the most of a resplendent setting, this chic country residence integrates with the scenic outdoors to provide a stunning environment for relaxed living. On the fringe of Arapuni, the three year old home is set peacefully back from the road on an expansive 3127sqm or so private landholding. The property offers superb living and entertaining against a backdrop of Mount Maungatautari, renowned for its ancient eco-system and natural habitat.
Bayleys sales consultant, Rachel Waldegrave, describes it as the ultimate lifestyle retreat. “You’ll be wowed the moment you step through the front door.” Ideal for the modern family or those wanting the comforts of an exceptionally designed home, the 274sqm (approx.) residence is a tranquil sanctuary enriched by an outlook over a unique environment. The open concept kitchen, living and dining area boasts a panorama of Mount Maungatautari and the stunning Waikato River valley. This social, light-infused zone spills outdoors to a sheltered portico and sun-drenched pool area for stylish entertaining and chillaxing. Bi-fold doors blur the line between indoors and out.
The kitchen is a sleek, highly workable space with an island, freestanding 900mm oven and scullery, all set on a tiled floor. A separate lounge off the main activity hub also flows out to the pool and alfresco precinct. This cosy corner is a great spot for kids, movies, or quiet relaxation. Four spacious bedrooms and an office are further retreats to enjoy. Parents will especially relish their own wing comprising a master bedroom, a pristine tiled ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and direct access onto the sunny courtyard and pool. The mountain view provides every excuse to stay in bed and admire the vista. The family bathroom is an immaculate over-sized offering complemented by a guest toilet. Storage is plentiful throughout. A handy workshop area, with built-in benches and cupboards, features in the double internal access garage.
Sprawling lawns enhance the sense of freedom, while providing expansive play areas for children.
A true outdoor tourism destination, Arapuni has access to the fantastic Waikato River trails for mountain biking and walking. Avid water-skiers and wake boarders will love having a lake for their aquatic sports. The community is home to a popular cafe and some 10 minutes drive from Putaruru. Tirau and Tokoroa are also close. Larger centres, including Cambridge, Hamilton, Rotorua and Tauranga, are in easy reach via State Highway 1.
This idyllic family home lends itself to optimising the tourism opportunities in the district by way of bed and breakfast accommodation.
