Secluded Waikanae Retreat

Slip through the electronic gates where the long driveway will sequester you away from the demands of the city, to a haven so private no one will know you are there.

Centred within 21.4 acres of sweeping grounds with an impressive array of mature specimen trees and delightful ornamental ponds, the home invites you inward with its elegant simplicity and focused design, ensuring energy efficient comfort, whilst evoking a strong sense of separation from daily life and its demands.

The generous floor plan arranges itself around a central courtyard, accessed from all wings by double glazed bi-folding doors, increasing your living spaces and flooding the entire home with natural light. The open plan living kitchen and dining area share the warmth of timber, polished floors and the tasteful neutral tones evident throughout. The wide hall way leads to the two large bedrooms with main and en-suite bathrooms.
The home is thermally efficient with even warmth provided by a superb wood fire that additionally heats European style radiators in the other wing.

Cavernous four car garaging provides just that - whilst also allowing for an easy conversion to four bedrooms, additional living, an office, or more.

Access to enjoy all parts of the beautiful grounds is easy by design, with varying species of trees creating separate areas to stroll through with family and friends. There is a fruiting orchard, vegetable garden and endless irrigation with a bore and its clean water supply. For projects or storage a large shed is located out of sight within a stand of trees and the entire property is well fenced.

Taken by the current owners from an initial thought to design and then to careful creation, they have spared little expense in their quest to create a true haven within the bounds of total privacy and an easy commute to the city.

This sale now presents a precious opportunity to secure your own haven, offering all of the above and the exciting potential for even more....
