Property listing ID: 543527
This heavenly home wouldn't be out of place in luxury celebrity enclaves around the world, so to find this slice of perfection in Helensville is rarer than an Academy Award. Wake to the sound of native birds welcoming the day on your 6.3 acres of land before you pour an espresso or blend a smoothie in the substantial kitchen with concrete bench top. Designed to embrace natural materials, this 3-bedroom timber, schist and glass home has been cleverly built to capture the sun's rays, while during the chillier months, a wood burner and gas heater keep the warmth in. Relaxing and entertaining is delightfully divine with a pleasing flow between open plan indoor living, to the deck overlooking stunning gardens. Willows and myriad native trees transport you into your own natural sanctuary. It's difficult to believe there's a world outside this private paradise, but when you need to step back into reality, you're only a short drive from city conveniences. But there's so much more than a house here; you'll be surprised by the numerous additional buildings on this property. A double garage comes with an adjacent large office sleep out. Previous owners have kept animal stock, and there are dog kennels and other outhouses. Operate an office from home, create your own work studio, or convert a space into a home gym or media centre. The possibilities are endless. But we've saved the best for last, as a charming lake house sits upon your own private lake. Curl up with a book or sit and listen to the dulcet sounds of water lapping to shore. If this wasn't relaxation enough, wind down before bed with a wine in the hot tub to the tune of birds' evensong. Life simply doesn't get better than this. Make this romantic retreat your reality!
