Come home to a private sanctuary, where your family can enjoy a spacious four bedroom house set within landscaped gardens plus a magical gully backdrop, all within minute's drive of Hamilton City. Set in a prestigious Tamahere location this modern family home on 8,328sqm, has been meticulously planned to benefit from a perfect north facing orientation and with each room offering vignettes of a magical garden. Up a lush magnolia lined driveway, the house invites you in through large Kauri front doors. To your right a warm and cosy lounge beckons, complete with gas fire and wide bi-folds opening onto the north facing terrace and BBQ area. The kitchen and family room is the hub of this home, with under-floor heating and space for dining plus an area that could be either a snug or a children's play area, all opening through more bi-fold doors onto the terrace. A family lounge is set behind the kitchen and two spacious bedrooms flow off this space. Also here is a large office, a family bathroom plus a kitchenette which then leads onto the double garage. The owners planned this layout to allow for a bed and breakfast scenario or for extended family.

The home has fantastic flow between spaces; a third bedroom is intentionally close to the master suite for smaller children. The master bedroom itself enjoys views over pretty flower gardens plus bi-folds onto the north facing terrace. Add to this a large ensuite complete with spa bath looking over the gardens, and you have your own relaxing sanctuary.

Surrounding the house a variety of mature plantings add character and personality to the property. The gully itself has been transformed from a wild place full of gorse to a magical woodland retreat, complete with tracks and native plantings, perfect for children's adventures. If your family is looking for a spacious, low maintenance home, close to town yet with the privacy and peace of a sanctuary then here it is.
