Set well back from the road on 5,691 sqm (more or less), this substantial character home offers a very soothing sense of space and privacy in the heart of Point Wells. Surrounded by mature gardens and established trees, with pedestrian access to the water, it’s a property that feels wonderfully removed while still being part of village life.
Originally relocated from Remuera more than 50 years ago, the home has been extended and updated over time, carefully retaining the character and generous proportions that make it so distinctive and give it so much presence.
• Beyond the gates, a palm tree lined driveway winds through established gardens before arriving at the home, privately positioned amongst expansive lawns, mature trees, palms and fruit trees.
• Inside, the generous proportions continue, with an elegant entrance, formal lounge overlooking the grounds, separate dining and relaxed family living warmed by a wood burner.
• The modern kitchen connects easily with the dining and family living areas, while extensive wrap-around decking opens the home to the gardens, with plenty of room to dine, entertain or simply enjoy the landscape and harbour views.
• Set apart from the remaining bedrooms, the generous primary wing offers a real sense of privacy, with its own study nook, walk in wardrobe and ensuite, along with double glazing and a heat pump for year-round comfort.
• Three further bedrooms sit within the original home, complemented by an additional room currently utilised as a bedroom, alongside the family bathroom and separate laundry.
• A separate room alongside the main home, provides plenty of scope for a home office, studio, hobby room or additional storage.
• Across more than half a hectare, the established gardens and expansive lawns give you space and privacy rarely found within Point Wells village with plenty of room for a swimming pool.
• Double garaging, two carports and a substantial concreted area provide plenty of room for multiple vehicles, a boat or motorhome, with excellent storage to match.
• A pedestrian easement provides access to the water and those marine pursuits, while a framed harbour view from the home is a lovely reminder of just how close the coast is.
There’s an easy rhythm to life in Point Wells. Bike around the village, wander down to the water for a swim, launch the boat nearby or call into the local store, with Omaha Beach in one direction and Matakana Village in the other. Weekends can be as simple as staying local or heading out to the markets, restaurants, vineyards and beaches that make this part of the Matakana Coast such a great place to live.
With its remarkable landholding, established grounds, generous home and proximity to the water, this is an exceptional offering in the heart of Point Wells. The good life is already part of living in Point Wells; here, you simply get much more of it.
