Modern living in rural haven

A blossom-lined drive provides a picturesque welcome to this Tamahere lifestyle property on the edge of town. The 7068-square-metre (more or less) block has a strong affinity with nature and is a tranquil sanctuary to come home to at day’s end.

Set amidst the landscaped environment is a spacious home designed to meet a family’s practical needs and sense of wellbeing. Aesthetics are enhanced by the intimate connection with the outdoors. Nearly every window frames a view of nature.

Living areas have a great social orientation, particularly the large family zone that combines the kitchen, meals and casual lounge. Chefs can chat with family or guests over an island bar bridging kitchen and dining. The segregated lounge delivers a superb alternative for casual and formal hospitality.

Four double bedrooms provide a good spread of accommodation for a larger family. The main bathroom has a separate shower room and the ensuite comes with a bidet.

Other assets include a wood-burner, wireless connectivity and 10 roofmounted solar panels to keep the power bills manageable.

Outdoors is an inviting retreat for summer living. Garden mood lighting creates a special ambience and turns the sun-soaked patio into a special evening venue.

There is a further option of a separate paved entertainer’s platform where you can set up a brazier and dine alfresco under the stars.

The triple garage has loads of storage and the separate boat shed doubles as an extra garage or a large storage facility.

Trees, lush plants, vegie gardens and large lawns adorn the private grounds.

‘‘This property combines excellence in modern living with countrified freedom in the Waikato’s wow-factor lifestyle district,’’ says Bayleys sales consultant Angela Finnigan.

Tamahere is a drawcard for families wanting rural peace, quality country schooling, village lifestyle amenities and the benefits of living close to the city.
