A Home Built to Keep. An Opportunity to Seize

Some properties are built for the market. Others are built with the intention of staying. This is very much the latter.

A change in circumstances now brings this exceptional near-new property to market far sooner than anticipated, creating an opportunity to secure a beautifully designed home on 6.7 hectares of fertile volcanic land in sought-after Maungatapere.

Designed by Clayton Architects, the striking single-level residence is a statement in contemporary rural living. Strong architectural lines, beautiful natural materials and carefully considered spaces combine to deliver a home that is as practical as it is impressive.

Inside, high ceilings and expansive glazing create an immediate sense of space and light. The beautifully appointed kitchen, complete with a walk-through scullery, connects effortlessly with the open-plan dining and living areas, while a separate lounge with a substantial fireplace provides another place to retreat and unwind.

The design wraps around a sheltered central deck, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Complete with an outdoor fireplace and television, this is a genuine extension of the home, designed for entertaining, family gatherings and year-round enjoyment.

Four bedrooms including a generous master suite with a striking ensuite and concrete bath complete a home where quality, comfort and thoughtful design are evident throughout. A dedicated office, separate laundry, powder room and walk in airing room add to the well thought out functionality of this home.

But the opportunity extends well beyond the home.

The 6.7 hectares provide an established productive setting, with fertile volcanic soils, an existing avocado orchard, 1,000 tamarillo trees planted in December and substantial infrastructure already in place. A three-bay shed, large farm shed with lean-to and two shares in the Maungatapere Water Company add considerable substance to the offering.

For lifestyle buyers, the property provides space, privacy and an enviable rural setting. For those with horticultural interests, the land and existing infrastructure present an opportunity to investigate alternative uses, including potential redevelopment for kiwifruit.

The beauty of this property lies in that choice. Enjoy the home and lifestyle, continue with the existing horticultural operation, or explore a different direction for the land.

The owners' plans have changed, and their commitment to selling is clear.

An exceptional home, a substantial landholding and an opportunity now available by Tender.

Contact Kelly Sackfield or Jason Barrell for more information.

The purchase price is plus GST (if any).

For sale by Tender, closing 2:00 pm Wednesday 4 November (vendor reserves the right to sell before tender date).
