Chandelier elegance, champagne lifestyle
Nestled among manicured gardens in an idyllic rural setting, this grand residence in the sought-after enclave of Matangi is straight out of a European dream.
A charming two-bedroom country cottage further enhances your options, whether you dream of working from home in an idyllic setting, extended family living or stylish guest accommodation.
The elegant exterior of concrete block, cedar and Corten steel wows from the get go.
A grand foyer welcomes you home, setting the scene for what’s to come.
Every detail has been carefully handpicked in this architecturally-designed home, with soaring ceilings, plush drapes bespoke chandeliers exuding opulence at every turn.
A seamless cohesion between indoors and out has been masterfully achieved, with the living area and all three bedrooms spilling out into patios overlooking the exquisite garden. The luxurious floor plan encompasses multiple indoor and outdoor zones, each well defined, yet enjoying an easy connection with each other.
At the heart of the home is a lounge with a gas fire opening up onto a sheltered patio – complete with its own chandelier – the perfect vantage point to catch one of the breathtaking sunsets.
The sleek, monochromatic kitchen is any famly chef’s dream, spilling out into a sunny dining area with and patio access- equally ideal for cosy family dinners by the woodburner, or enjoying breakfast out in the sun.
An airy library room is perfect for curling up in the sun with a good book, and throwing open the doors to the garden for that country breeze.
The spacious bedrooms all flow out onto the patio with vine-covered pergola, and the
tiled bathrooms are a study in moody, classic elegance.
‘‘Rooms are also defined by lighting – contemporary and subdued or opulent and ornate. In the master retreat, soak in bliss in your private bath beneath chandelier finesse. Even the laundry receives the chandelier touch,’’ says Angela Finnigan of Bayleys Hamilton.
‘‘A separate room in the garage is a multi-purpose zone, currently used as an office but an equally useful craft room/ studio space. The real point of difference, however, is the twobedroom cottage. Nestled in a garden corner, it’s the perfect complement to a lifestyle filled with promise and opportunity,’’ she says.
‘‘While it’s an easy drive to the airport, Cambridge or Hamilton – once ensconced here, you’ll rarely want to move. Contact me today to make this alluring rural oasis your own.’’
