One of the Wairarapa's most exclusive homes. It's easy to see why this magnificent home won the coveted supreme award at the 2008 Wairarapa House of the Year awards. Set on 11 ha and positioned to make the most of the sun and the views, the house is constructed from plastered concrete masonry with Hokitika schist chimney and entrance pillars. The exceptional home spans three levels, fully double glazed with the stunning master bedroom suite upstairs with his and hers walk in robes, the kitchen, living and dining spaces, home theatre room, guest bedroom and bathroom at entrance level while downstairs are two double bedrooms, each with ensuite and walk in robes, and a large games/living room, with a large mezzanine area and attic storage area. The award winning kitchen, with stunning views across to the Tararuas, will impress the most accomplished chef, with two conventional ovens and a steamer oven, gas hob and a large walk in pantry. The lounge features a grand schist fire surround and opens out to two separate patios overlooking the panoramic views below. The underfloor heating system, powered by a Marshall multifuel water heater, provides the main heating source, while there is a woodburner in the lounge for added ambiance. Excellent garaging includes a double garage with internal access to the house and another large standalone shed which incorporates a woodshed, workshop, incredible storage cupboards and parking for several more vehicles. There is also a stable for horses with two loose boxes and tack room. Located in the popular Gladstone area on 11 ha of rolling to steeper lime stone country, currently grazed by a neighbouring farmer, just 15 minutes drive to Carterton railway station for commuters, and 22 kms to Masterton. The primary school bus stops at the gate and the bus to Masterton high schools at the end of the road. Extra income could be created with homestay or B&B. Life doesn't get much better than this.
