Set high in an exceptional, elevated position, this impressive property commands panoramic views of the countryside, across the Tuki Tuki valley, towards Te Mata Peak, out to Mt Ruapehu and over to Napier. Designed to celebrate its setting, the contemporary residence is flooded with natural light and oriented to capture the ever-changing outlook, with expansive glazing and wide decks providing seamless connection to the landscape.
Architecturally designed and finished to an impressively high standard, this versatile offering boasts a generous and stylish four-bedroom main residence, along with a smart two-bedroom secondary dwelling, and a freestanding garage with a lined hobby room, kitchenette, and bathroom. All completed by 2023, the modern construction delivers peace of mind, with double glazing, extensive insulation, and ducted air conditioning. All that's left to do is move in and soak up the unforgettable vista.
Stunning Cedar cladding, high stud ceilings, and extra-height door frames create a sense of space and quiet confidence throughout the main residence. At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is anchored by a sleek, contemporary kitchen featuring engineered stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a sliding window framing the view. Full-height glazing wraps the living and dining spaces, with sliders opening onto the sunny front deck where the panoramic outlook becomes part of daily life. A suspended fireplace adds warmth and architectural interest, while ducted air-conditioning and a ring-main instant hot water system ensure year-round comfort.
An inviting media room connects to the main living space through sliding glass doors, creating excellent separation for family living or entertaining. Accommodation is well considered, with three double bedrooms offering ample wardrobes and generous windows that deliberately draw the outdoors in. The primary suite is privately positioned at the end of the home, opening to a secluded deck with spa pool area, and complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully finished ensuite. Family and guest use is well supported by a full bathroom, two separate powder rooms, excellent linen storage, and durable flooring selected for longevity and ease of care.
Equally impressive is the modern secondary dwelling, offering stylish, self-contained accommodation with a similarly incredible aspect. Designed to be wheelchair accessible, it provides exceptional versatility for extended family living, guest accommodation, or potential income. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area features timber floors, quality appliances, granite benchtops, and triple stacker doors opening to a covered deck, complete with shelter blinds and a dedicated spa pool area - all thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the views. Two generously sized bedroom wings, with two smart tiled bathrooms, abundant storage, and ducted air conditioning, complete this comfortable and contemporary retreat.
The substantial freestanding garage includes a large lined and insulated hobby/music room, kitchenette, and a bathroom. Whether for creative pursuits, additional storage, or further work-from-home flexibility, it adds yet another layer of functionality.
Spanning 4.9 hectares (more or less) of rolling land, mature redwoods and established native plantings provide shelter and privacy, and invite in an abundance of birdlife. Walking tracks woven through the grounds, a flying fox, and generous open areas, become a natural adventure playground for children. With ample room for animals, gardens, and orchards, it's well-suited to those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle within a peaceful rural setting.
Located in the highly sought-after Tuki Tuki Valley, this property savours the best of both worlds - a private, tranquil rural environment that feels a world away, yet remains within a short drive of the local village and main town centres. With panoramic views at the forefront and two beautifully executed dwellings, 82 Millar Road offers an exceptional lifestyle, flexibility, and income potential in one of the region's most desirable locations.
