Lifestyle manor boasts sprawling space and stunning views
Sprawling space defines this property – both in terms of the grounds and home. Sitting in the heart of this lifestyle enclave overlooking Lake Rotokauri, the panoramic scenery is spectacular. It’s a postcard outlook – heightened further, by this home’s elevated position.
Because of that, design was a critical factor and this home certainly impresses. The design and finish revolve around the vast panorama – it’s an aura worthy of a country manor. With around 9387 square metres, the house was never destined to be confined to boundary limits. As a result, the broad stretch allowed a threewing residence – bedrooms sitting in their own space either side of the home’s core.
This is the entertainment heartbeat. A kitchen caters for large gatherings, thanks to an extensive scullery. Its pantry storage and large workplace keeps most of the prep out of sight, while the main kitchen still provides ample room for several people to work alongside one another.
Views to the lake are ever present – from the scullery, kitchen, living areas and bedrooms. Outdoor flow is equally impressive. Serving from the kitchen to the large sheltered alfresco area is effortless. There’s a bar-stool corner, which interacts well with the family lounge, while formal dining caters for a large setting. A log fire is a cosy complement, come winter time or for those lingering dinners as doors stay open. The formal lounge next door also has a fire. This is inbuilt and links with low dresser that caters for the flat screen.
Parents are spoilt with luxury in their fivestar wing. A large ensuite bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a private patio, plus the benefit of a study next door to enable working from home in peace and quiet. Three more bedrooms sit at the other end of the house in their own wing. One enjoys ensuite privilege, while the other two share a generous family bathroom. A powder room and separate laundry finish the inside of the home. Then it’s all about the garage space.
Apart from a triple internal garage for the family cars, there’s a huge, triple garage at the rear. Sitting away from the home, but still boasting the stone-wall finish that features on the house, it’s a multi-purpose area. This is a dream for car collectors and brilliant for workshop space. Options abound – particularly if the teens have their say.
Landscaped grounds complement the home’s grace and style – stone walls and steps edging the gentle slope of the garden. Gazing out to the lake and the Hakarimata Range beyond, this is a fantastic view to have on the doorstep. Near walkways and nature, this home’s added convenience puts it within 10 minutes of The Base, around 15 to Hamilton’s CBD and less than five to The Expressway and Auckland around 90 minutes away.
