Property listing ID: 495907
Late 1800's Kauri Villa + Large Shedding Having only been owned by 2 families this home has been lovingly and meticulously restored to its former splendour. Built for the Yates family back in the late 1800's, the home exhibits many of the stylistic elements that characterised homes of this era, incorporating handcrafted wood work that was both simple and elegant, typified by clean lines, sturdy structure and natural materials. The residence spans 180 sqms over one level & incorporates 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, plus study/sunroom. Inviting neutral & earthy tones have been chosen to tastefully modernise the home complementing the solid Kauri floors and adding a sense of light, space and welcoming ambience throughout. There is a formal dining area, which leads thru to the large Rimu kitchen. This is a very social part of the home & retains all of the charm of a traditional country kitchen complete with all of the necessary modern amenities. The separate formal lounge is a real treat with the exposed brick fireplace being a real feature. Outside is a true entertainer's haven and you will be a fine host here with a large covered alfresco area, complete with decking, bar, & pool area. This is all finished off with lush, tropical plantings, which make socialising a breeze! Set on 4.18 acres of gently undulating farmland the property enjoys privacy from neighbours, with picturesque rural vistas out to Pukekohe & beyond. Nestled down a long driveway lined with palm trees leads one to the residence where established park like gardens, fencing and manicured lawns encircle the house while artfully reflecting the style and character of the home. Shedding is plentiful with a 3-year-old 3 bay American Barn plus horse stables. The land is fenced into 2 paddocks. Positioned only 5 minutes from Pukekohe town, this property enjoys easy access to all of the amenities of this rapidly expanding township.
