Sitting high on the peak of the hill and facing due north this home has distant sea views and magical sunsets which are all part of a lifestyle dream.
With materials sourced from Europe, the mission to accomplish a timeless Tuscan home blending into the environment was a success for the current owners.
The home is built like a castle from concrete foundations up, capped with imported Spanish tiles and tilt and turn European style joinery and the 472 sqm internal floor plan is most impressive.
From the internal double thickness walls to the wrought iron balustrades imported from France, and 100-year-old Oregon timber floors, the home presents absolute quality throughout.
As much emphasis and charm has been placed on the exterior and landscape of the property including a romantic pergola in a true Italian Renaissance design. A 14-metre infinity pool and tournament size clay tennis court and surrounds will keep the family entertained all year round.
Multiple rooms and destinations within the house includes 4 bedrooms all with private en-suites, 3 with walk in wardrobes, plus a 5th bedroom/study, a gymnasium, formal and informal living, a library and a TV room.
The 3-metre stud height adds to the overall volume of the house with many features to admire from the stone fireplaces, bespoke staircase handrails and a kitchen fit for a master chef.
Below the large 3-car garage is a massive storage room of 90 sqm for someone working from home and seeking additional storage. This property is fully fenced with electric security gates at the front entry. There is a private olive grove and room to graze the family pony.
Karaka is a VIP Blue Chip location for equestrian pursuits with Te Hihi Farms (boutique livery services) nearby as well as very sought after ACG Strathallan School.
Freehold section 12,159 sqm (3 acres approximately).
THE PERFECT HOME DOES EXIST!
