The Hideaway
When seeking a rural bolt hole our vendors had specific requirements; privacy was paramount, an expansive view to gaze across for years to come, space to roam without the need to leave home and the property had to be able to support itself until they were ready to retire there. 257J Whakamarama Road satisfied all these needs and so they set about building a home, sympathetic to the location in its rustic design yet modern and perfectly equipped for a lifetime of comfort and enjoyment.

Featuring
Shaped around the view with an ideal northerly aspect and shelter from the prevailing weather enhancing the outdoor living experience
Expansive decks connect the living spaces and master bedroom to a private native bush oasis
The living area is a large open plan providing light and views with a social modern kitchen area connecting to a dining and living wing on one side and a large family lounge space on the other. This is ideally conceived to provide intimacy or separation for smaller groups or absorb large gatherings
Large master with individual climate control, generous walk-in fitted wardrobe and ensuite is privately situated away from the other bedrooms
The additional accommodations are clustered around a large shared bathroom/powder room and separated from the main living by an intentional short hallway. All three bedrooms benefit from large fully fitted wardrobes and ceiling fans
Substantial separate laundry with mudroom/garage entry and main entryway storage befitting of a country home.
Two wood fires and central ducted air system maintain ideal conditions and a fitting ambience year round
A quality minor dwelling with hardwood cladding on a rigid air barrier and covered outdoor living is conveniently located away from the main house and property’s entry, offering an ideal balance between privacy and connection. An associated minor dwelling water tank collects water from the roof and uses a Puretec two stage filter and UV purification to provide a domestic supply
Spark network reception over most of the property making it easy to keep in touch with those at home whilst you are exploring your realm
The house water tank collects ample rainwater from both the house and the new Kiwispan shed. In back-up position is a lift pump (activated from the shed) in the river providing crystal clear river water if required. All water passes through a Puretec 2 stage filter and UV purification system and pump providing good domestic pressure
Separate septic systems are in place for both the minor dwelling and house
An idyllic “camp ground” exists at the bottom of the property where the title ends at the Te Puna Stream. Complete with a rustic lean too kitchen and dining area, a bedroom and a bunkhouse, shower, a firepit and a selection of crystal clear swimming holes suitable for all ages. Access the campground area on foot or by 4WD vehicle for a getaway in your own backyard where its hard to imagine home or in fact the city centre are just moments away
