This striking home, just a 10-minute drive from Hastings and 15 minutes from Taradale is constructed from honed concrete block and plaster, sitting proudly in an elevated position with expansive rural and lake views. The exterior is both durable and stylish, complemented by the home's thoughtful landscaping. Inside, the kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a large granite island bench, high-end appliances, and a scullery for added convenience. The wood flooring creates warmth, while the large barn sliders throughout the area serve as functional and beautiful features, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outdoors.
High ceilings crafted from Canadian oak with negative detailing add a sophisticated touch, while the lounge at the end of the house is a cosy retreat with a gas fireplace surrounded by Schist. On either side of this room, sliders open to a deck with stunning views or a sheltered patio, providing flexible outdoor living options based on the weather. This area is perfect for relaxation and entertaining, with ample glazing to ensure you can enjoy the scenic surroundings.
Through two large barn doors, you'll find a second expansive lounge, which boasts an even larger gas fireplace also framed by Schist. The wood deck flooring from inside flows out to the external deck, further enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. This entertainment space is set up for a BBQ kitchen, complete with an industrial rangehood, built-in speakers, and rustic board and batten walls that give the room a distinctive, cosy character.
Throughout the home, electric blinds and air-conditioning ensure comfort in every season. Down the hallway, three double bedrooms and a study offer ample space for family or guests, with each room designed to take full advantage of the surrounding views. The guest bathroom is beautifully appointed, while the master bedroom stands out with its large walk-in robe, fully tiled en-suite, and a feature wall that adds a unique design element. Sliders in the master bedroom open directly onto the deck, bringing the outdoors in.
Practical features are abundant, with plenty of storage throughout the home, including a large walk-in linen cupboard. The double garage is fully lined, carpeted, and insulated, offering additional amenities such as a separate WC and laundry. The home is also equipped with a comprehensive fire protection sprinkler system, providing residents peace of mind.
Outside, three 30,000-litre water tanks collect and filter rainwater for household use, and there's also access to a bore water scheme. A large garden shed provides space for tools and equipment, and a covered spa pool offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the views, making this home functional and a luxurious rural retreat.
