GORGEOUS GARDEN, SPECTACULAR VIEWS, PRIVATE, PEACEFUL, AND SO SUNNY
Every day will feel like a holiday when you have a view like this to wake to, and the master bedroom opens out to the north facing deck with specially made glass balustrade meaning uninterrupted view across Blueskin Bay.
Sitting in the dining/ living area behind floor to ceiling tinted glass provides bush clad views with native Kereru, Tui, Bellbirds, Rosellas and Fantails in abundance landing and feeding just outside the windows.
This 3 bedroom - totally rebuilt, rewired and re-plumbed in 2000 - modern home has great warmth with open plan kitchen/dining/living, and wonderful indoor - outdoor flow within its bush clad surroundings.
The spacious living area also opens to the wide glass balustrade deck overlooking the award winning landscaped garden below and facing the stunning Blueskin Bay with its ever changing views. Heating is a practical gas fire creating winter warmth and ambience.
The kitchen with beautiful polished rimu floors and granite and rimu bench tops features an attractive specially built crockery cupboard leading out to a large entertainer's paved BBQ area with an optional shade covering, with views through the established Magnolia tree and across the Bay.
Approximately 3/4 of an acre of landscaped garden slopes away from the house. In 2006 this garden was awarded the title of a "Garden of regional significance" by the NZ Gardens Trust. This delightful garden is a pleasure to meander through its paths as it features a wide range of plant life and all year round interest including a water course and pond. There are natives, maples, rhododendrons of every variety including tropical, 100's of roses, flowering cherry, proteas, hostas, peonies and bulbs galore to name but a few. The lower level has a board walk through a wetland garden full of bog irises. There is a no dig vegetable garden on a level area, a shade house for propagation, and a hot house full of succulents. A gardener's true paradise full of meandering paths, sunny sitting nooks and plant variety unsurpassed, all in a setting with spectacular views.
The laundry area in the house is separate and has a second toilet as well as useful storage and a practical outside entry to this area for when working in the garden.
The main bathroom is modern with a bath for soaking at the end of a day in the garden as well as a shower unit.
There is a double garage at street level, a workshop with power under the house and a separate studio room with its own deck, and space to increase or develop this further.
The hardest part about living here will be leaving the property on those occasions when you have to. It really will be hard to remember there is a world other than this sun drenched, north facing, surrounded by bush and fabulous views, property with native birds singing.
All this within a short distance of the Waitati amenities including the local school, the Blueskin Nursery and Cafe, the local store, the art gallery, library and play-centre, Doctors Point beach and Bay access, the Orokonui eco-sanctuary and the local harvest markets in the area.
