Remarkable retreat of tranquillity in Otaki
Encased by beautiful native plantings, on an elevated position that captures stunning views of Kapiti Island and beyond, 35 Sunglo Terrace is arguably the region’s best kept secret. Exceptionally tranquil, with only the resident birds providing the sound effects, the 9905 square metre property takes lifestyle living to the next level. With Otaki township close by and the new expressway into Wellington completed, you are secluded but so close. Now after 30 long years, with our vendors Kevin and Christine planning to move on, the secret is finally unravelling.
The couple have spent the last three decades sculpting the land, turning it into a private sanctuary that is destined to give much joy to future homeowners for generations. ‘‘Our inspiration was to restore native trees and bring birdlife onto the property, which features multiple tracks that guide you around, leading you to an orchard, vegetable gardens and various other places to take in the calming surroundings,’’ they explain.
In 2005, amidst this splendid seclusion, they built a generously proportioned home featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, open-plan living/dining and a second living. Built by Manor Homes, which specialises in building new with a traditional character feel, the two-level home is nestled into the unique topography. You will feel relaxed and at peace as you take in the surrounding beauty and sea views from different areas. Offering 191 square metres of floor space, the home faces west so you can see Kapiti Island from both living rooms, dining, and one of the bedrooms. You can also sit under the covered wraparound deck to admire these views.
Additionally, there is a 10m x 7m barn-style garage with a studio upstairs, a two-bay pole shed and plenty of parking space for additional vehicles.
According to Kevin and Christine, this is more than just a home – it is a retreat for the body and soul. ‘‘All the hard work is done. We enjoy our time walking through the bush walk tracks around the property, listening to the birds and admiring the native plantings we have spent so long developing into what it is today.’’
This is a very reluctant sale but the couple know it’s time to be closer to family. This opens up a rare opportunity for another family seeking to live away from the hustle and bustle but still be close to amenities. It is the ideal space to bring up kids, and a quiet place to retreat to after a hard day’s work.
