“Enjoy living in a secluded sub-tropical rural environment 7 minutes to Kerikeri Town Centre and 15 minutes to Bay of Islands Airport and Kerikeri Cruising Club & Marina. Our property offers a truly relaxed lifestyle with the main residence sited for maximum privacy, shelter, sun and views and the architect’s clever design combining a modern feel and family layout with fastidious craftsmanship. Two north-facing wings, one with master suite and the other with family bedrooms and living, are linked by open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. To the north through super size glass sliding doors is the sheltered pool courtyard with handcrafted stone walls and outdoor fireplace — offering a sanctuary for relaxation and entertainment. To the south is a hedged kitchen garden area and infinity lawn with expansive views over the river valleys and tree tops. It feels like you’re living amongst nature, being able to open up both sides of the home to the pool, gardens and views. The beautiful 4 hectare property also features a self-contained 1 bedroom cottage with a delightful Pacific island flavour and a tastefully renovated 3 bedroom lodge. Mature trees, established tropical plantings, vegetable gardens, and well-fenced paddocks complete the picture and our friends and guests say ‘it’s like living at your own resort’. Highlights for us have been the pool, the sub-tropical environment, watching the horses from the house, privacy and tranquility, accommodating 3 family generations in 3 separate dwellings and the property’s superb location. After 7 years in paradise it’s time for the next phase of our journey and one lucky family has the opportunity make one of the Bay’s best homes their own.”
