Five minustes from Orewa, hidden away on approximately 1.247 hectares of native bush and landscaped grounds, this remarkable Hatfields Beach residence offers something increasingly difficult to find; a substantial family home with expansive, flat lawns, incredible privacy, and room for children to truly be children.

This cedar-clad residence has been thoughtfully designed to connect seamlessly with the outdoors, creating a lifestyle where family living extends far beyond the walls of the home. Recent enhancements, including a four-zone ducted air-conditioning system, new window furnishings, and retrofitted double glazing due to be installed in early July, ensure year-round comfort and modern efficiency.

From the impressive atrium entrance, the home opens into a series of generous living spaces designed for growing families. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, dining, and family living area, which flows effortlessly through large sliders to a substantial covered outdoor entertaining area all opening to a large flat lawn.

Whether it's backyard cricket, a game of football, trampolines, adventure playgrounds, or simply room to run and explore, there is space here for it all. The grounds also offer the perfect setting for a swimming pool, creating the ultimate family retreat where children can enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle while parents entertain and relax.

Multiple living areas provide flexibility for every stage of family life, including a formal lounge, media room, and dedicated office. The accommodation wing offers four spacious bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, while the privately positioned master suite enjoys direct outdoor access, a generous dressing room, and a beautifully appointed ensuite.

The lower level provides extensive internal garaging, workshop space, and abundant storage, complemented by ample off-street parking for boats, motorhomes, trailers, and visiting guests.
