As the saying goes ..... a picture tells a thousand words .... however you really have to view this property to appreciate the style, quality and tranquillity of this paradise. A truly special and unique lifestyle retreat - set on a north facing 2 ½ acre site, you will have plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings. Only two years old, the contemporary home has an attention to detail seldom seen, coupled with a charming rustic barn and great workshop or 'man cave' giving your family plenty of options. As you enter the property, set at the end of a country lane in Waitoki, you have no idea of what is ahead. The entrance to the home is simple clean lines but as you walk through the front door the home opens up before you with the focal point being the large open plan kitchen/living area flowing out to an equally large deck covered with three sets of opening louvres and stunning outlook. The master and one other bedroom are at one end of the home with the other two bedrooms, family bathroom and tv room at the other end. A covered walkway takes you to the barn and another courtyard. Half of the barn is currently being used as a workshop for the owner's business while the other half comprises additional accommodation in a stylish and rustic theme. The workshop could alternately be used for garaging, although it only has a single door there is plenty of room to store and manoeuvre multiple vehicles inside. The driveway can take you either directly to your front door or you can carry on the barn - perfect to separate work from home or extended family situations. Built with love, this entire property has been well thought out - so why would you leave? Quite simply, it is time for the next project.
