Set across approximately 2.6 hectares in a private setting just moments from Havelock North Village, 139 Tauroa Road brings together distinctive architecture, thoughtful design and an established lifestyle environment.Designed by a Danish architect, the home has been created with an emphasis on timeless form, quality materials and comfortable, low-maintenance living. Its proximity to Te Mata Peak walkways and the village adds another layer of appeal, offering a sense of seclusion without sacrificing convenience.From the outset, the architecture makes a strong impression. Soaring ceilings and extensive double-glazed windows create a wonderful sense of light and space, while generous glazing draws the surrounding landscape into the home. Living areas connect naturally with expansive outdoor decks, creating an easy transition between inside and out and providing inviting spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.Natural materials feature throughout and give the home a distinctive warmth and character. Italian Travertine flooring anchors the main living spaces, while the kitchen is centred around a beautifully crafted island incorporating Kauri and Rimu. A striking double-sided fireplace, clad in sawn natural ignimbrite stone, provides an architectural focal point while adding warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months.Comfort has been carefully considered, with underfloor heating, high levels of insulation and extensive double glazing contributing to a home that performs well across the seasons. The hot water cylinder has also been configured to accommodate a solar hot water system, reflecting the practical approach taken to the home's design.The accommodation is generous and well arranged. The spacious primary suite provides separation from three additional king-sized bedrooms. This thoughtful floor plan works particularly well for families, visiting guests or those wanting a degree of independence within the home.Practicality is equally well catered for. A substantial approximately 70 sq m garage incorporates a dedicated workroom, while excellent storage throughout the home ensures there is space for everyday living without compromise.Beyond the residence, the established grounds deliver the genuine lifestyle component of the property. Mature fruit trees, productive vegetable gardens and a chicken run are already in place, while a separate insulated pottery studio or workshop provides excellent flexibility for creative pursuits, hobbies or additional workspace.The combination of architectural character, quality materials, generous proportions and established grounds gives 139 Tauroa Road a particularly distinctive presence. Private yet conveniently positioned close to Havelock North, this is a home that offers far more than its setting alone - it is a considered lifestyle property with enduring appeal.DEADLINE SALE: Closes 2.00 p.m. Thursday 29 October 2026 (unless sold prior)
