First time on the market in 26 years. Meander down the driveway at 132 Waikoukou Valley Road and you will begin to unwind as you pass sprawling David Austin roses, carefully curated camellias and onto established citrus and other plantings. Greeted with dancing wood pigeon and a feeling of peace and tranquillity, you reach a timeless and effortlessly cool 1970's designed home. Walking through the front door and down the generously wide hallway on polished wood floors, you will enjoy the essence of the 1970's architecture that has been so thoughtfully renovated and bought up to modern standards. The hallway passes a separate lounge and leads you to a large, light and bright open plan kitchen, living and dining space. The kitchen has a fantastic layout and is finished with quality appliances, fixtures and fittings. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen and dining area is the outdoor courtyard and solar heated swimming pool. This outdoor entertaining area gets all day sun completely sheltered from the wind making entertaining, dare we say it ? a breeze! The house is 244m2 and includes two living areas and four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe/dressing room and ensuite. There are a study and separate laundry with a very handy utility area and wet room. From every window in the home, the outlook is beautiful - whether out to Waikoukou Valley and beyond or glances at your charming easy-care garden. For a lifestyle block, this property has everything you could ask for. The ten acres are split into seven well fenced, troughed paddocks each with shade for stock. Currently running cattle and sheep, the land could also lend itself to horses or any four-legged friends. The property backs onto the upper reaches of the Kaipara River providing the perfect spot for picnics or enjoying hours of exploring and adventure. To complete the rural picture there is a barn and shearing shed. Both have been well thought out and organised with three-phase power to the pole, should you require it. This property is in one of the most sought after locations in Waimauku. It is as close to Waimauku township as you can get on a landholding of this size and it still feels as though you are a world away from anything else. The village has great cafés, a supermarket, doctors clinics and more. Should you ever wish to leave, Waikoukou Valley Rd provides easy access in all directions for work and play. The current owners have lovingly nurtured this property and now it is ready for you to enjoy.
