Designed by renowned Hawke's Bay architect Steve McGavock, this masterpiece takes advantage of an elevated north-facing site in the Poraiti Hills. This property offers a private sanctuary and classic design which has been created to remain timelessly elegant with superb interior and outdoor living spaces, raked timber ceilings, and the use of slate tiles on the roof.
On entry up the tree-lined driveway, you will appreciate the architectural character and overall atmosphere. An abundance of entertaining, relaxation or dining areas. The outdoor fireplace setting, kitchen, BBQ and spa area combine to create a wonderful ambience.

Casual dining and a family room are adjacent to the spacious designer kitchen, which will inspire the home chef, central to the home and living. There is a formal living pavilion with an open fire where extensive glazing extends to a choice of entertaining areas.

The upper level has a mezzanine office and the master suite with bespoke joinery and built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite. Take in the view through the trees to the grounds and tennis court.

On the lower level are three generous double bedrooms all with doors leading to the outside, two of these have mezzanine lofts. There is a full family bathroom and separate laundry. Additionally, a stand-alone studio with a kitchenette and en-suite will provide guests with their own private space or it has been used for boutique accommodation.

Mature trees, easy-care gardens, and lawns surround the property. Space abounds for the floodlit Astroturf tennis court with pavilion and room for a pool if desired. The balance of the land has the potential for a secondary dwelling, or if a smaller section is desired the vendor would consider holding part of the land. There is a paddock with a trough.

Seldom are homes of this calibre in a mature lifestyle setting and privacy so close to Napier made available for sale.
