Hilltop setting revolves around lifestyle and entertaining
Gated entry to this hillside property hints at the individual personality that awaits. The silhouette of stags and fauna isn’t any reference to the type of farm this is, but the artwork does give a clue to the luxury ahead.
It is this home and views that stand out the most; once up on the plateau where the house commands outstanding views of the countryside, forests and water in the distance. This is country living at its best – seemingly miles from anywhere, yet a short drive down into Hamurana Village and the lakefront, or along to Okere Falls where more adventure awaits.
This is an impressive home – six bedrooms; two of them with ensuites – and generous space in every room. Designed around entertaining, the heart of the home showcases a substantial kitchen and family hub. Complete with a butler’s pantry, the focus spotlights a cleverly designed island unit. The L-shape design introduces a bar-stool corner – one side for guests in the pre-requisite gathering point before dinner starts; the other for the host to stay close to the conversation while keeping an eye on cooking. A Belling stove is a cook’s dream, but it’s the different areas of this kitchen that meet individual needs. A café corner for the barista to serve coffee out of the way; a china cabinet for glassware; extraordinary workbench space and a serious sink station for the chores before and after meals.
Dining easily caters for a setting of 12, while family relaxation offers ample room to relax either before or after dinner. A separate media room next door, can be closed off for private movie moments, or if the kids need their own space away from dinner guests. Outdoor entertainment is also well catered for – huge decking, screened for shelter and artwork introducing further personality – plus a spa pool for the final touch of indulgence. Toasting the views from this vantage point is nothing short of spectacular. With room to develop further and create an outdoor fire area, this property is ripe for the challenge.
A generous separate office is perfect for that home-based business – or rumpus if that’s on the wish list. A separate laundry is another generous feature, while ample parking caters for the motorhome, boat and all the toys. And when it comes to toys, the 3-bay shed is bloke heaven. Whether a place for work, a place for tinker and store the classic cars, or simply more storage; this is a multi-purpose addition.
Chandelier finish throughout the home accentuates its appreciation of taste and attention to detail. Double glazing and ducted air conditioning instil a healthy ambience, while solar panels lower the power bills. Luxury meets nature in extraordinary ways with this property - and opportunity abounds.
