Bespoke on Bollard: Iconic home in Tamahere

Encased by park-like grounds in leafy Tamahere, this iconic property has been designed for buyers seeking a superior lifestyle and somewhere you can discover solace every day.

According to real estate salesperson Angela Thomas, the supersized 700-square-metre home is acknowledged as one of the most iconic residences in the Waikato area.

‘‘This is an exceptional country home on a grand scale that offers the ultimate in privacy, luxury and seclusion,’’ she says. ‘‘The overall impression of this home is ‘Great Gatsby’, from the impressive Italian marble entrance to the grand formal and informal living spaces, designer kitchen and stately fireplaces. It is nothing short of majestic.’’

Behind the gated entrance and a beautiful, illuminated treelined driveway sits the stately home with five/six bedrooms, three bathrooms, beautifully appointed living spaces, and your choice of both formal and casual dining.

Resort-style living showcases an internal swimming pool, games room with sports bar, sauna and spa pool.

The substantial kitchen, which featured on the front cover of Trends magazine, is easily a work of art. Geared for high-capacity entertaining, it comes with a galley-style island and butler’s pantry. Its positioning allows you to engage with family and guests while preparing meals – the hallmark of a well-designed home.

Enhancing the luxury is a charming 70-square-metre, three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, ideal for guests, extended family or staff.

‘‘Having two separate dwellings creates lifestyle flexibility combined with options for multi-generational living,’’ notes Angela.

The property’s immaculately maintained, established grounds include a tennis court with a spectator’s pavilion, an oval (perfect for a game of croquet), an outdoor chessboard, vegetable gardens and orchards.

As would be expected in a home of this calibre, there is a big focus on entertaining. Sheree and David have hosted many parties and events here, including Fine Homes and Garden Tours and garden rambles.

‘‘The owners love having a morning coffee overlooking the oval whilst listening to the birdsong or enjoying a glass of wine in the redwood forest in the evening,’’ adds Angela.

The property enjoys proximity to excellent schooling, Hamilton Airport, golf courses, plus, it is a short drive to Hamilton City or picturesque Cambridge.

The Smail family have owned the property for over 20 years and are selling up to embark on a new chapter of life now that their children are older. They would like another family to enjoy the fun and enjoyment they have had living at 161 Bollard Road.

Clearly, this is an extraordinary property that allows you to live the life you have always dreamed of. How do you put a

price on this?
