If you find yourself romanticising about a rural lifestyle without compromising on convenience and modern comforts, you may have just found your happy place.

Located in the heart of Cambridge, 2 Hunter Lane is only two kilometres from the town centre and less than four kilometres from St Peter's School.

The home itself was architecturally designed and completed in 2012 after its owners searched for several years for the perfect spot to bring their vision to life. Their patience paid off and the result is a truly beautiful sanctuary, nestled amidst mature trees with sufficient land and stables for several horses.

A modern country house with an elegant board-and-batten exterior, the home is designed to be casually elegant and generous in spirit. It has featured in a number of publications including NZ House and Garden. Beautiful, but not pretentious, it provides an idyllic way of life for a growing family and acts as a canvas to showcase memories and experiences.

It is the sort of home which implores you to exhale upon arrival, grab a bottle of wine and enjoy the company of friends, unwind with family or get lost inside a good book in the library.

Open and spacious, it is poised perfectly to capture light throughout the day and offers a seamless connection with the outdoors, thanks to bi-fold doors throughout. Start the day pottering in the herb garden - basking in the morning sun - and finish it relaxing under the pergola in front of the fire. This is a home you won't want to leave.

Those who delight in interiors are sure to appreciate the artful eye that has overseen its development. From the oak floors to the slate tiles, bespoke paint finishes, unique light fittings, and custom furnishings, each interior element has been carefully laboured over and the result is exquisite.

The master suite is a peaceful retreat and the three remaining bedrooms generous in size, storage and light with their own unique details. A double garage is internally accessible and the laundry is discretely tucked away and offers plentiful storage.

In addition to the main house, it features two hectares (more or less) of land currently configured into four paddocks, stables for four horses, with its own bathroom and laundry, hot/cold wash-down area, two sand pens and large equipment shed.

Shielded from prying eyes on a private road, the setting is peaceful and beautiful from every angle, with immaculately landscaped grounds complementing the established trees plus a very special cherry tree walk. Animal lovers will be well served with an enclosed area for dogs (otherwise known as the Doggy Hilton). There is also an array of fruit trees within the orchard inhabited by a family of fancy chickens.

This enviable lifestyle property really is the complete package, ready to be moved in and enjoyed as is. Come and admire and imagine the special family memories you could make here - call Angela today about 2 Hunter Lane.
