Modern and Picture-Perfect
Sari wouldn’t be leaving her muchtreasured property if it wasn’t for a desire to live closer to family. ‘‘I’ve been here four years and absolutely love it. The tranquillity, space and views are the best things about my property.
‘‘The layout of the house and no close neighbours was exactly what I was looking for.’’
The location also suited Sari’s needs as it was close to her work but not in town.
Lovely stone walls draw the eye on approach. Flanked by jacaranda and silk trees to the left and natives on the right, the picturesque driveway winds its way up to the house and a huge old totara at the top.
Mono pitch design blends the home into the landscape. Its contemporary mindset and flowing layout make everyday living effortlessly enjoyable. The borderless living environment is anchored by a designer kitchen and indoor-outdoor connectivity creates a relaxed ambience.
Views of bush and farmland from all windows give the house a retreat-like feel and imbue it with heart and soul. There is plenty of sun to soak up in the north-facing, open-plan lounge, and if things get too hot, the pergola over the deck is a shady spot to escape to. Sari especially likes the way huge sliding doors open the lounge to deck. Another favourite spot is the sitting area, perfect for watching the sun set at the close of day. However, it’s the open plan domain and its views over the valley which gives Sari the most amazing feeling of calm and tranquillity.
Personal space is a feature of the double-glazed home. Bedrooms are private and each is appointed with a bathroom and has access to decks and gardens. Hosting guests and accommodating extended family pose no problem. A spacious office caters to those who work from home and ample parking is
available in addition to the double internal access garage.
The immaculately presented home sits on a flat, elevated 6,195sqm (approx.) section enriched by native trees and generous open green space. ‘‘I enjoy gardening so there is plenty of land to work with.’’
Located on popular Waimate North Road, the property is private, peaceful, and suited to a young family, a retiring farmer, professional couple or empty nesters. It is zoned for Kerikeri High School and lies 10-minutes’ drive from Kerikeri township and five minutes from Kerikeri Airport.
