The Wonder of It All!

Every now and then something truly special comes along that makes you sit back and say wow.

Architect Ian Jack designed this masterpiece on the Atawhai foothills in 2002 for a meticulous mining geologist owner. Over the years the home has matured beautifully, and the current owners have created a soulful haven that oozes comfort and an artful lifestyle.The board-and-batten dwelling is privately positioned with easy drive-on access directly from the street and additional parking for a boat or extra vehicles. The garaging is a generous double with internal access, a spacious workshop and excellent shelving.

A delightful formal entry welcomes you with sweeping vistas across the haven- the central hub of the home. From here, a short stairway leads to the primary suite, complete with study, walk-in robe, ensuite and a large bedroom opening to a private deck, perfectly positioned to capture those stunning bay views.

Descending the curved stairway from the entry, you arrive at the flowing open-plan dining and living zones arranged around the central kitchen. A separate lounge with wood-burner offers a cosy retreat. These spaces work beautifully together or can be enjoyed as distinct living areas. Indoor-outdoor living is exceptional, with decks and courtyards accessed along the northwest-facing side of the home on both levels.

There is a fabulous storage room, separate toilet and large laundry, plus a substantial under-house storage chamber ideal for kayaks and bikes. On the lower level you will find the family bathroom, two double bedrooms, a large office and an outdoor lock-up workshop.

The established gardens feature a blend of natives, exotics, fruit trees, shrubs and productive vegetable beds. Everything has been thoughtfully crafted by the original owners and enhanced by our vendors. This property is an absolute joy.

From the architectural features and functional, light-filled living spaces to the spectacular views encompassing Miyazu Gardens, the Wakapuaka grounds and Tasman Bay beyond - all just 10 minutes from the CBD.

Looking for something with the X-factor? You've found it.

Tender: closes 1pm, Thursday 9th April 2026 (unless sold prior).
