This spacious, sunny house sits elevated above the valley on a huge residential section with pretty views of the Te Whau peninsula and over the gulf to the mainland.

With three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a capacious, open-plan living area with heat pump, the property provides easy, one-level living, a good feeling of privacy and some extra outdoor surprises.

Inside, the rooms are airy and bright.

The main living space, with modern kitchen and bonus office nook, has access to two large decks.

Down the hallway is a laundry room, a family bathroom with separate bath and shower, separate toilet, two sizeable double bedrooms and a generous master bedroom with ensuite.

Outside, the main deck leads to a delightful outdoor pebbled area that offers extended entertainment space. It could also work well as a sculpture garden.

Beyond this are secrets to discover, with a path leading around to the once-forgotten dog-leg part of the site, which sweeps gently down into the valley.

The first encounter is the fully fenced Secret Garden.

With pretty railway sleeper steps, olive trees, raised vege planters and mulched borders, there's also a spot to sit and enjoy a cuppa at the bottom of this tranquil enclosure.

This superbly sunny site could also work as a chicken run, a safe place for pets to exercise, or be further developed into a food forest.

Beyond this idyllic spot, the Secret Secret Garden can be explored, where you can wander through the trees to the end of your section.

This fabulous family home has a concrete driveway, bordered by a gorgeous feijoa hedge, with parking for several cars and the boat,

Surfdale Heights is within walkable distance to the Donald Bruce Rd schools and just a short car journey to the village, the ferry, and the Ostend hub.

And, with the size of the section at 1883sqm, there's potential to build an extension and perhaps add more decks to this amazing, secret spot.
