Waterfront Tranquil Haven

Set on a narrow finger of land bound on one side by the sea and on the other by a lake, living on this property offers all the benefits and privacy of owning your own personal island without the hassles of access. The views are stunning whichever way you look; Kerikeri Inlet, the harbor entrance, rural farmland and a beautiful lake not to mention the property's own boutique Olive Grove.

The house, designed by international award-winning architect Richard Naish, is a contemporary masterpiece making the most of the all-round views and incorporating all the best of modern design. It comprises three pavilions connected by a covered breezeway, which cleverly separate the different functions of the building while linking them together in one cohesive structure.

The main pavilion is a glass clad open living space comprising the main living, dining and kitchen areas. Opening off this pavilion are an intimate balcony and a large, tropically landscaped courtyard with an infinity edge pool and an outdoor fireplace. The kitchen is a chefs delight starring in magazines and boasting huge work spaces and top quality appliances including a Viking oven and gas cook top.

Downstairs in this pavilion is the luxurious master bedroom offering the same panoramic views as the living area, with large walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom plus a private library/ snug/ study/ TV room with a balcony off the bedroom looking straight out to the sea.

At the other end of the house is the guest pavilion. First is a large bedroom with its own full size bathroom en-suite, then adjacent to this is a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment. Both of these accommodation areas have their own secure external access making them ideal for use as rental accommodation if desired, or perhaps for a caretaker for absentee owners.

All of this is set on approximately four hectares, the majority of which is grassed and planted with approximately 650, twelve year old olive trees which are a delight to look at. These provide a fascinating hobby for the current owners producing Gold Medal winning EVOO. Other management options are available.

At the edge of the foreshore directly below the house, and accessible by both foot and vehicle, is an 80 metre long jetty providing small boat access to the Kerikeri Inlet and the Bay of Islands beyond. This jetty is shared with one adjacent property owner.

On the south boundary of the property is the Waitangi Wetlands Lake which abounds with birdlife. You can launch your kayaks direct from this property to explore the delightful area.

Be ready to be lured, this is the ultimate in lifestyle.
