Tarawera's Utopia

On an expansive 6,595 m2 section in an absolute prime, lake location, this highly appealing home nestles amongst its own picturesque, park-like grounds. Blending its country estate vibes with lake cottage charm, the property includes a large five-bedroom character home, guest accommodation in the loft above the double garage and a summer house that's brimming with potential. Pitched ceilings, feature windows and bespoke touches add to the appeal and there's an easy flow through the light filled living spaces and out onto the deck. In the heart is a large country style kitchen from where it's easy to serve food or drinks to the covered alfresco dining space out on the deck and a mud room style entry beside the laundry creates the perfect transition from the garden. A bedroom and a bathroom are also part of the downstairs layout, while upstairs there are four bedrooms (including the master suite) with leafy views plus there's a bathroom and a workstation. The loft above the garage offers a separate guest accommodation suite with a bedroom/bathroom/sitting area & kitchenette combo and the summer house adds another opportunity to fire the imagination. The charm continues outdoors where the grounds surround the home with beauty and interest from hidden gardens and architectural highlights to feature plantings and an orchard that includes lemons & grapefruit, feijoas & figs with a feature plum tree taking center stage. Stroll, play, explore or garden to your heart's content - whatever your family's stage in life, there is plenty to appreciate here. There's also plenty of space for multiple vehicles, boat and motorhome with a double garage, 2 carports, (one with a high stud) plus a lean-to for the ride on. Located in a beautiful part of the globe that offers world class fishing opportunities, water sports & scenic walks amongst pristine bush, this rare retreat with its love-at-first-sight appeal is beautifully set up for high-quality guest accommodation or family life with options.
