Passing through the gates, it’s immediately clear this is a property designed to impress. Set within park-like grounds, the home sits gracefully on the hillside, with double garaging below and a thoughtfully designed single-level layout above – perfectly positioned to capture all-day sun and sweeping views across Lake Forsyth.
The open -plan living area is the heart of the home, featuring locally sourced Beech timber flooring and framing the outlook beautifully – creating a warm, inviting space to unwind and enjoy the rewards of the day. Two generous double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all with built-in wardrobes, cleverly arranged off a spacious tiled mudroom with the laundry discreetly tucked away – maximising space where a traditional hallway would otherwise sit. The bathroom is equally well considered, finished with tasteful tiling and minimalist design that allows uninterrupted connection to the outdoors, whether soaking the bath or enjoying a refreshing shower. Constructed of rough-swan macrocarpa and complemented by fresh, appealing stonework, the home features balconies designed to take full advantage of the sweeping vistas this remarkable property offers.
Adding to the charm is Kowhai Cottage, a one-bedroom hideaway with Macrocarpa-lined ceilings and beams, a cosy stone fireplace, and a deck overlooking the grounds. Ideal as an Airbnb couples retreat, art studio, or work-from-home space, it provides endless possibilities.
The property also includes potting sheds and shade houses from a former native plant nursery. Also of interest are a fertiliser bunker (converted to a fully enclosed shed) and the original airstrip, remnants of the original farm adding a touch of history and character. Walking tracks meander through magnificent Kauri, Totara, and Stringy Bark trees, creating a serene park-like environment for reflection, recreation, and connection with nature.
We don’t often find the perfect trifecta of natural beauty in one location. This exceptional property offers sweeping views, complete tranquility and enviable privacy – alongside the exciting potential to work from home by establishing and Airbnb couples retreat and/or a native plant nursery. The foundations are already in place; all that’s needed is your vision to bring it to life.
