Exclusive retreat with river access

Tucked away on a beautifully planted acre high above the Tukituki River in rural Otane, this stunning designer home makes a striking impression from the moment you arrive. There's the park-like setting, beautifully established native gardens, walking access to the river reserve, modern design and, of course, that red front door. Birch ply ceilings with crisp negative detailing, polished concrete floors and perfectly positioned windows and doors create a home that feels completely connected to its surroundings. Sun pours in, the outlook is framed at every turn and the open-plan living space feels far bigger than the footprint suggests. At the heart of it all is a seriously good entertainer's kitchen, while two generous bedrooms offer excellent wardrobe space and their own clever features. The master looks out across the gardens towards the river, while the guest bedroom wardrobe is wired for use as an office or sewing nook. Even the stunning bathroom gets in on the act, with the bath perfectly positioned for soaking while taking in the view. Free-standing Kent wood burner, heat pump, gas hot water and a large double internal-access garage. Outside, the hard work has already been done. The fully fenced 4000m2 grounds have been extensively and professionally planted with maturing native gardens attracting birdlife, to create a landscape that will only become more impressive with time. Three water tanks provide rain and bore water storage, while the peaceful rural setting delivers the kind of tranquillity that's increasingly hard to find, 10 minutes from Waipawa and 15 minutes from Otane. Clever. Beautifully designed. And one of the few with river access. This is one of those properties you simply have to experience for yourself. A must view.
