Boating and fishing lovers. Waterfront lifestyle

This is a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional home set on just over one acre, with panoramic views overlooking the Waipapa River channel and Kerikeri Inlet. Privacy and seclusion are enhanced by an adjoining reserve area of bush on the west side of the property which goes down to the waterfront reserve running along the shore.

The large (340M2) house was designed by architect Garry Curtling and built in 2006. A hallway from the front door leads into an open area with soaring ceilings which ties together the ground floor and the upper floor into an atrium-like space that is shared on the ground floor by the open plan dining room, living room, and indoor/outdoor patio area. The modern kitchen has its own large adjoining breakfast room with viewing decks. Also downstairs is the recreation/TV room, a bedroom/office with ensuite shower, and a bathroom. On the upper floor is the spacious master bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, and two more generous sun lit bedrooms which share a bathroom. Large walk in closets throughout. Impressive water views from almost every room in the house.

Outside is the inground swimming pool, and beautiful low maintenance gardens, as well as native bush reserve on the western side.

Foundation is concrete slab. Exterior walls are concrete block; interior walls are oversized (50mm x 150mm studs). The double garage has interior access to the house. The septic tank system is bio-engineered and council approved; water heating is solar assisted.
