Soak up the most extravagant contemporary luxury while you indulge in the peaceful back to nature country lifestyle. This exceptionally generous 6-bedroom family home on a large, productive 4258m² site is a taste of the good life, as close as it gets to rural living in the metropolis. Hidden along a quiet right of way in an upmarket lifestyle area renowned for large, lavish homes, the elevated setting offers views to the city, down over the garden and into the lush, beautiful valley that's filled with birdsong.
The sophisticated 552m, 2-level home is solidly constructed of 75mm thickness Hebel cladding which makes it warm in winter, cool in summer and super quiet. 3-metre high ceilings upstairs and 2.7 metre high ceilings downstairs make it feel even more spacious and light. Grand living areas include the voluminous 89m2 open-plan kitchen/family area with a large entertainment lounge off the entry next door. The kitchen is well-equipped for entertaining with both top brand Miele appliances including gas and induction hobs, a wall oven, steam oven, microwave + bake oven, coffee machine and warmer. Well-designed cupboard space is enormous. Another living area (with kitchenette) plus a large home theatre are downstairs and all areas extend to huge decks and a vast garden platform, catching all-day sun.
Bedrooms are spacious and 2 main suites have walk-in dressing rooms plus one of 4 bathrooms incorporates a 4-person sauna. Winters are ultra-comfortable as the home is well-heated with central air conditioning upstairs and heat pumps downstairs.
There is secure off-street for 10 cars in addition to 3-car garaging plus 8 video security channels to keep you safe. An extra 58m2 in dry storage under the house comes in handy given the size of the abundant, well-established orchard and vege garden beds terraced to the rear of the property.
Although it is huge, it is well-laid out with easy access and auto-irrigation, city water supply and waste water treatment system. When you live here, you'll become self-sufficient and hardly need to visit the supermarket as you will grow your own feijoas, blueberries, mulberries, a host of citrus fruits, grapes, loquats, persimmon, custard apples, peaches, plums and a variety of vegetables and herbs.
The hard work has been done for you. This whole property is immaculately presented, ready to walk in and enjoy - just 15 minutes' drive to Manukau and Botany. Feel the stresses melt away as you get closer to nature in this very generous, sophisticated home.
