Discerning buyers who seek a versatile home which also offers the space for a home business venture or accommodation for extended family, will simply adore this contemporary family residence occupying an elevated position overlooking Ruby Bay. Well maintained, immaculately presented and with the benefit of double glazing to the main living areas, 3 Korepo Road is deliciously warm, practical and bathed in day-long sunshine. The form of this 243sqm home embraces the contour of the land and has been created using a simple palette of colours. Sitting on 3492sqm of rolling lawns and with a boutique 'fruit bowl' orchard, the grounds are filled with flowering shrubs and trees thoughtfully planted to attract a myriad of birdlife.

On the ground floor, the open plan living areas are practical, light and airy and fitted with a pellet fire as well as a heat pump. Magnificent views of the Richmond Ranges, D'Urville Island, Mount Crusader, Moutere Bluffs and the gleaming Tasman can be seen through almost every window and can also be enjoyed from the both the charming courtyard patio and the covered rear balcony. A modern kitchen with polished timber flooring is practical and stylish, while the adjoining dining room has patio doors to the front courtyard and also features an intriguing 'reading nook' alcove plus a sizeable window seat, ideally placed for revelling in the stunning vista. The separate formal lounge has an adjoining office and flows out to the sheltered balcony, offering views across the grounds to the Western Ranges. With sufficient space for an al fresco hot tub and no light pollution, is there a better spot in which to relax in deep contemplation of the heavens, with a glass of your favourite tipple?

Across the internal hallway, the master bedroom has a chic en suite, walk-through wardrobe and large picture windows affording views of the Western Ranges and Moutere Bluffs; while the pretty north facing guest room has a built in closet and is conveniently sited close to the separate WC and laundry area.

Descend the staircase to the lower ground floor and here are two further queen sized bedrooms, again both with closets; a family bathroom, storage room and a utility room that could be used as a kitchenette. This area of the home has its own access to the grounds and parking area and is the epitome of practicality and comfort. The configuration is perfect for a home office, consulting rooms; accommodation for extended family or maybe even a home stay BandB! The options are endless.

A large double garage with power and lighting supplies both storage and workshop space supplementing the storage provided by two generous sheds. In addition, there is ample off road parking to the fore and the rear of the home for additional vehicles, a caravan or boat.

With the old Coastal Highway on the doorstep, Richmond or Motueka are a very easy and pleasurable 15-20 minutes' drive away. Alternatively, you can walk to the beach; or hop in the car and make the short trip to the village of Mapua. The award winning restaurants and bars positively buzz with locals and visitors alike, all enjoying the atmosphere, with the free live entertainment that is on most weekends.
But I think that this home's real attraction is the friendly community feel of Korepo Road; indeed there is an annual street party held every February or March that really brings the neighbours together.
This is an uplifting property in delightfully peaceful setting. Purchase here and you are not only buying a home and a location, but a whole new way of life for you and your family.
