Your Own Perfect, Private Paradise

This sun drenched North facing lifestyle property is tucked up a private driveway overlooking Blueskin Bay with fantastic Bay and rural views. Architecturally designed by Ian Butcher; a local award winning architect known for his environmentally sustainable designs, this home is light and airy with a feeling of spaciousness, making entertaining easy and relaxed living a pleasure to enjoy.
The moment you enter through the striking red door you are met with polished concrete floors, and move through a corridor into the inviting kitchen with its polished wooden benchtops. With easy to cook on gas hob and electric oven the kitchen flows out to the covered patio area with pizza oven providing an ideal all year round entertaining area.
The comfortable open plan dining/living room has a wood-fire/oven, and flows through to the modern conservatory area off which is a bedroom and the main bathroom with shower. You will love the decadent deep bath standing on its own providing a tranquil area for relaxing and admiring the stars at night. Both living and conservatory open out to the level lawn area via sliding doors.
The dark stairs that meander off from the living area lead to the master bedroom on the upper level which has a simple rustic feel boasting the fantastic views and its own toilet and hand basin.
There is a mix of timbers, exposed concrete block and plaster walls throughout the house that creates an overall sense of simplistic yet stylish living.

The 2.5 hectare property has its own patch of native Manuka and Kanuka, gum trees that provide firewood, a small pond and many fruit and nut trees and a feature rock wall with potential to further develop. There is tank water and a modern septic tank system.
Hidden from the house is a three bay barn, with two of the bays incorporating office/studio with bathroom - perfect as a work space. Negotiable over $650,000 with a Rateable Value of $590,000
