A timber gated entry opens to the sealed Titoki tree-lined driveway leading through exceptional landscaped gardens to the delightful turning circle garden and this superb three hundred ninety-eight square metre (approximate) five bedroom home plus office/studio located on one hectare (two point forty-eight acres) down a peaceful private road. Perfect for kayaking and fishing, the property also offers water access to the Hingaia/Whangapouri estuary. Built in 2007 (CCC date) and exquisitely designed by Wayne Houston of Houston Architects NZ Ltd. The premium quality, dual-level residence is clad in Timaru Bluestone, giving a sense of permanence and weight, and features double glazing, copper spouting, and a shingle roof.Bespoke pieces and interesting accents such as hardwood columns and mantelpieces crafted from historical telegraph poles and bridges, some with original hardware/bolts, are cleverly showcased in tandem with ultra-high ceilings, ornate windows, a breathtaking double sided Schist stone gas fireplace in the lounge and dining area, and the abundant use of window walls and doors connecting rooms and flowing outdoors. The impressive foyer flaunts its sweeping wrought iron and timber staircase and offers entry to the sophisticated sunlit lounge, separated from chic formal dining by the amazing two-sided fireplace.
