Overview

Close to town, feels a world away!

Carved into 8 acres (more or less) (or 3.4 ha) of native bush on the treasured Cambridge landmark, the Maungakawa Hill where serenity, beauty and privacy awaits. The brief to internationally recognised architect Andrew Patterson was a simple one, to deliver geometric simplicity and a sense of place. The response, an exceptional home and setting, one that awakens the senses, and restores calm, all at the same time. Only minutes from the Cambridge township, cafes and eateries, recreation and amenities, yet be prepared to feel a world away from all you wish to conveniently escape. The crackle of the open fireplaces inside and out, and native birdsong will be the sound track for the memories that are to be made here, and elevated views of the Waikato basin, the romantic twilight gloaming, and spectacular fire red sunsets, the back drop. The 331sqm (more or less) residence is a stunning masterpiece, yet unpretentious. With 3m high ceilings throughout, California Oak timber flooring, and full height stacker doors recess into the fabric of the home, increasing the space of living areas, and blurring the often unnecessary border between the interior and the outdoors, and allowing your family to live, eat, and gather while immersed in scenic wonder, with the deliberate contour of the land sheltering the environment. Zoned and ducted heating and cooling throughout the whole home at the touch of a button, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms provides unmatched comfort. The smart technology does not end there, with inbuilt speakers throughout the home, which provides entertainment and ambience, and commercial grade landscape lighting brings the beauty of the native bush surrounds to life, upon nightfall. Your very own bush walks have been created and secret picnic spots can be discovered and enjoyed. The full height timber louvres follow the suns gaze, and provides filtered light as its desired, a reminder that function as well as form has not been overlooked in any part of this home, and is a stunning feature as the sun sets on the day. All four double bedrooms, including the master with tiled ensuite, have 100% wool carpet underfoot, and share the elevated and leafy outlook through full height windows and louvre glazing. All have excellent custom designed storage to keep the home clutter free, and in addition to the main open plan living, there are two further versatile living areas. Internal access double garaging behind the integrated cedar doors can be kept to showroom standard as there is a separate garage/workshop off the forecourt that can be home to garden equipment, and toys. Better discovered and experienced, than simply read about, we invite you to arrange your private viewing time.
