Set alone within Waikato’s rolling countryside – views to Mt Kakepuku in front and the Pirongia Forest range behind – this property was always destined to stand alone. Designed with an elite lodge status and resortstyle outdoor leisure in mind, the gabled framework and schist stone features set the tone for a property of significance and considerable substance.
Nestled within around 8961 squares of manicured grounds and more than 645sqm in the manor alone, space defines this property’s essence. Comfort and impressive attention to detail underpin its grandeur in every aspect. Five generous bedrooms offer privacy and intimate luxury for family and friends. Four indulgent bathrooms present equal stature and time doesn’t limit those lingering bath soaks. Upstairs and down, this home weaves into areas that are an invitation to lavish entertaining – inside and out.
A gourmet kitchen in fact houses two individual areas for cooks to thrive. Caterers can come and work in the privacy of the butler’s scullery, with its double Bosch wall oven and microwave above – ample workspace and storage matching the preparation capacity. In the main kitchen, there is a cook’s stove with gas hobs for those precious kiwi moments as guests gather around the bar-stool island. This family hub is a focal point – chandelier finish and porcelain tiled flooring accentuating the continental influences this home embodies. Schist features continue in a separate lounge with its cathedral ceiling and floor-to ceiling stone fireplace. Yet another room – currently set up as a gym – still has a film projector, screen and sound system in place, which invites this room being returned as a private cinema. Outdoor spaces connect with all these areas to provide a seamless link with the loggia lounge and expansive patio. Stretching out to the swimming pool and spa corner, features like this reflect the undeniable expense behind this home’s creation. There’s a flood-lit tennis court for family tournaments, while sprawling lawns lend beautifully for marquee functions, cricket and croquet. For quiet reflection, the colonnade walkway leads to a circle of romance – a place for weddings perhaps? Certainly, somewhere to stroll with champagne and gaze at the countryside all around. Complete with a boardroom lounge on the upper level of this home, it offers discreet privacy to work in peace and hold meetings, without disturbing activity downstairs. This is a property of vast scope – to be cherished as a private family manor, or utilised as a business venue to entertain guests and VIPs. From recreation to relaxation - every desire is catered for here.
From quick access by helicopter or a relaxing chauffeur drive from airports and cities, this impressive property awaits its next chapter – memories of past gatherings and Home and Garden tours, leaving their mark of distinction in a property that stands alone – well into the future.
