An elevated outlook over the Waikato River and countryside beyond sets the scene for an exceptional Tamahere lifestyle. Beautifully detailed interiors, established gardens and an impressive choice of entertaining spaces give this home a sense of occasion, while its versatile layout accommodates family life across generations.
Set on 5,051m², the 597m² home unfolds across two levels, with a broad forecourt and columned entrance creating a memorable arrival. Double timber doors open into a soaring foyer, where illuminated stone niches and a chandelier introduce the detailing throughout.
The formal lounge brings together double height glazing, a tiered chandelier and a broad staircase edged with glass balustrades. An upper gallery and sitting room overlook the space below, allowing light and views to carry through the interior. Elsewhere, the family lounge offers a more intimate setting around a gas fire framed by a textured stone feature wall, while a separate media room provides another place to retreat.
Glossy charcoal cabinetry, stone benchtops and sculptural pendant lighting give the kitchen its polished finish. A waterfall island provides generous seating, with gas cooking and extensive storage supporting its everyday functionality. The separate scullery is equipped with a second gas cooker and sink, complemented by a walk in pantry. Wide folding doors open the dining area directly onto the deck, creating a fluid connection between indoor gatherings and alfresco entertaining.
Eight bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuites, give the accommodation exceptional flexibility. A ground floor wing brings together two bedrooms, a bathroom, a lounge and kitchenette, offering welcome separation for extended family. A further ensuite bedroom opens onto decking, providing an inviting option for guests.
The upstairs master suite enjoys an elevated outlook through broad picture windows, with generous proportions allowing space to sit and appreciate the setting. Extensive fitted dressing space features streamlined cabinetry, while the fully tiled ensuite pairs twin vessel basins and a large glass shower with a corner bath positioned beneath the window.
Outdoor living is every bit as inviting. Timber decks span the garden side of the home, connecting covered lounging areas with a distinctive octagonal dining terrace. Clipped hedges, blossom trees and established planting frame the lawns, while the leafy river outlook and evening light provide a beautiful backdrop for long lunches and sunset gatherings.
The exterior combines aerated concrete cladding with metal tile roofing. Double glazing, six heat pumps, HRV ventilation and solar panels complement the home's comfort, while triple internal access garaging and extensive forecourt parking complete the practical picture.
The setting balances riverside privacy with Tamahere's village convenience. Local shops, cafés and dining, together with Tamahere Model Country School, are close at hand. St Peter's Cambridge and Hamilton Airport are also within easy reach, with convenient connections to Hamilton, Cambridge and the expressway.
