With spectacular views across a valley of olive groves and rolling hills to Mangonui and Doubtless Bay, this north facing Tuscan styled residence offers a peaceful and inspirational lifestyle in a sought after rural neighbourhood.
Set on 3 ha of elevated grounds with a forest backdrop and 400 tree olive grove, this 209 sq m home was designed by Arcline Architecture and completed in 2003. Hebel cladding ensures the house remains cool in summer and warm in winter. The double garage, workshop and carport were built in 2020. There is also room for a boat.
The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, modern open plan kitchen and dining, a spacious living area with a high vaulted timber ceiling and wood burner, and an artist's studio. Picture windows throughout the home artfully frame the landscape. Sliding doors at the front and back of the house open onto intimate patios.
Rustic paver pathways lead to connected kwila decks where pergolas shade the alfresco dining area. Early morning birdsong is the soundtrack while viewing the mist-shrouded valley below, while the night sky is often clear, aglow with stars.
A recently completed glamping site features a self-contained kitchenette, bathroom, eco-friendly incineration toilet, decks, and a large tent platform. The site is a restful sanctuary on a sheltered ridge above the grove.
Eight minutes drive to the north is the picturesque Mangonui Village which features cafes, boutique stores and galleries, and a new harbourside boardwalk. Coopers Beach and Cable Bay include a wider range of amenities. Their pristine beaches are favourites for walking and swimming. Just over the hill are Taipa Bay and, further on, the renowned Karikari Peninsula. To the southeast are the sensational Taupo Bay, historic Totara North, and Whangaroa Harbour.
Enjoy the subtropical Far North lifestyle with easy access to hiking trails, some of New Zealand's most stunning, uncrowded beaches, and multiple boat launching options.
