NOTE: The advertised Open Home is Covid Vaccine Certificate Compliant and requires all attendees to present their COVID-19 'Vaccine Pass' prior to entry. Quality built in 2016 and brilliantly designed by the vendor, architect Garry Cullen, this innovative north-facing 439 square metre home set on 7849m2 is a delightful surprise and showcases an inspired use of timber, concrete, natural stone, cedar, glass and steel. Privately positioned, washed with natural light and featuring pitched 3m to 3.6m high timber ceilings plus an exceptional expanse of floor to ceiling windows and sliding plus bi-fold doors, this stunning residence celebrates its elevated location to the fullest, spilling out to timber decks to revel in serene views of the distant countryside and lush farmland. The arresting black steel exterior draws you through a glass faced feature pivot front door to a spacious foyer through looking across an internal courtyard with its al fresco recreation deck and large dramatic wood-burning fireplace, and provides internal access to the massive matching black steel building that houses the couple's amazing 8 car collection. Turning left from the foyer there is a second lounge with open fire, TV and built in timber bookcases. From this lounge two spacious bedrooms are separately accessed, both with exposed feature concrete block walls and separate ensuites with unique indoor/outdoor showers contained in an internal private courtyard. Both have large sliders opening to garden views and one spills out onto the main northern deck, complete with garden inserts. The TV lounge has an adjacent study area with a long built-in desk providing a multi-person work station. On the opposing side of the foyer with its feature stone and a core10 planter box, a gallery space connects through to the main lounge passing a spacious and sumptuous master suite with expansive fitted walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with double vanity and open shower, spills outdoors to enjoy the peaceful views, and provides access for pool users. There's also a separate powder room. Open plan and absolutely breathtaking, the living areas with gleaming feature timber ceilings include yet another imposing stone wood-burning fireplace, teaming with a zoned underfloor heating aquatic system heated by a heat pump to ensure absolute comfort throughout this home. The State of the Art kitchen is an entertainer's delight with mega bench space and cabinetry, soft close drawers, freestanding 6x gas burner ILVE stove, walk-in pantry nook and Schweigen range hood. This effortlessly joins outdoor under-roof entertaining and the barbeque area - one of the numerous relaxation stations and entertaining areas here. Huge window walls wrap around this huge space offering magnificent uninterrupted views and al fresco access. Outdoors, steps drop down from the long northern deck to an inviting 11m x 4m fully fenced heated salt water pool and leisure surrounds, beautifully landscaped gardens, feature rocks, ornamental grasses and luxuriant lawns. There's also an orchard plus raised vegie and herb gardens. A huge 30m x 7m building directly accessed off the entry foyer is an enthusiast's dream, accessible on three sides with automatic doors and housing numerous cars plus a large built-in bar provides the ultimate man cave! There's also a bathroom here. Hidden away off a quiet country road 300m inside the Waikato district boundary, this site was chosen as the zoning protects the owners from being built out in the future while offering the exceptional opportunity to enjoy panoramic views across the property and beyond without sacrificing privacy. A combination of brilliant design, exciting use of materials and indoor-outdoor integration, this impressive residence raises the bar for design and luxurious living as the discerning buyer will immediately recognize upon inspection. * Quality custom built & uniquely designed by the architect vendor * Sun-washed north facing 439m2 home.
