Solid Masonry Home Encircled by Vistas

A beautifully built home sited and designed for soaking up a sensational circle of views.

This warm and welcoming home won three awards in the 2006 Master Builders' House of the Year Awards. If there had been an award for the widest, most glorious, views it would have won that too! As well as winning gold for new homes in its category this Landmark built home also garnered gold for excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation. While this is very impressive and reassuring, your very first impression is likely to be the friendly inviting atmosphere you feel as you step though the rough-hewn timber front door into a generous foyer leading to the big beautiful kitchen, its dining space and the two linked living areas which adjoin it. You'll be dying to invite friends for dinner, or have a barbeque above the view on the sheltered terrace. As it gets cooler you can hunker down by the fire and watch the weather moving over the ranges above you and the coast and country spread out before you. This home won yet another gold for bathroom excellence, something you will appreciate every time you luxuriate in the massive tiled en-suite with its superb layout, great mirrors, fantastic storage. The master bedroom also exudes welcome and comfort with doors out so you can spa under the stars before a good night's sleep in perfect pastoral peace. The caramel and black colour scheme, mix of tiled and carpeted floors (with diesel powered underfloor heating), range of ceiling heights, and enlightened lighting pull together a home where a couple or family can feel cosseted but which welcomes a crowd.

Sub-tropical hard and soft landscaping was designed by award winning landscaper Trish Waugh to enhance the home and let the view shine. The sweeping mown paddock which leads your eye to the view is bordered on the west by bush. It could be fenced to run a few stock. The drive runs up the side of the slope to ample parking for several vehicles and a motor home outside the double garage.

A wonderful home for soaking up the environment both inside and out. An easy drive to civilisation with Katikati about 10 minutes and Tauranga around 25 minutes away.
