Country house living, coastal estate lifestyle

At the top of a sweeping, tree-lined, sealed drive stands this impressively large country house set in eight hectares of established verdant land.

Elegant wide verandahs wrap all around the house, providing spectacular views across Onetangi Bay to the east and towards Palm Beach looking westward.

Inside is equally striking. The wide hallway leads to an absolutely massive lounge in the west wing, featuring a high, beamed ceiling, and where the sun streams in through nine sets of French doors, all of which open onto those superb verandahs.

Natural wood panelling, skirtings and architraves feature throughout, creating a unique character to this extensive home.

A separate dining room, the modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and the substantial family bathroom, with a claw foot bath to luxuriate in as well as a shower, are all located in the centre of the house.

The west wing is where you discover the enormous master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and modern, stylish ensuite. And just down the hallway is the fourth double bedroom, also with its own ensuite.

The essential wine cellar and practical laundry are located discreetly next to the internal access to the large double garage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding small country estate by the sea located a few minutes from two of the best beaches on the island.

What's even rarer is that there is also the opportunity for you to make it a more substantial country estate by also purchasing the neighbouring vacant five-hectare property, which is also for sale - https://rwwaiheke.co.nz/properties/residential-for-sale/waiheke-island/onetangi-1081/lifestyle-section/3250228

You have the opportunity to purchase one or both properties, together or separately.
