Whether savouring your solitude or enjoying entertaining, this inspiring property will provide peace and pleasure daily. The home and grounds are faultless in execution and flexible in supporting a fine life.

Anticipation rises as the drive curves up the gentle slope to the home, arriving at the palm centred roundabout and initially revealing only the triple garage, front door and the honey hued Hinuera stone that anchors and accents the north facing dwelling.

The highest expectations will be exceeded when you enter the living areas, light and lofty spaces which also feel comfortable and intimate. Chandeliers accentuate the volume of a lounge of lodge like proportions with a four metre stud. The expansive open plan area also shines, part of an extensive recent upgrade of the 2006 built home. The kitchen creates a beautiful meld of social and work areas, demonstrating quality more than skin deep.

A couple can live happily in the open plan space and the adjoining masterfully appointed master suite. When family and friends descend, spread out into the lounge with its formal dining one end and an al fresco room on the sunniest side overlooking the solar heated pool. Always plenty of space with three bedrooms* in their own zone, plus the versatility of separate guest accommodation.

The 1.1920 ha (more or less) is well sheltered and secluded. Post and rail fence surrounds three tree dotted paddocks which could be grazed though are currently mown to the same parklike conditions as the main grounds. Play is covered by the pool and the astroturf tennis court, practicality by the American style barn with mezzanine and power and a three bay vehicle port, edibles from fruit trees.

The experience of living here is heightened by the locale on an exclusive country lane near the main highway but far away in atmosphere. Te Puna Village is handy for coffee, Tauranga City within convenient proximity.

* One bedroom is utilised as a media room. In the original floor plans, this room is noted as a gym.
