Lifestyle with a view

FAMILIES will love what this four-bedroom lifestyle property in the Wainui hills has to offer them.

As well as stunning panoramic views across the valley to Ōhiwa Harbour and out to Whakaari-White Island, the 204 square-metre home has lots of living and outdoor entertaining space.

Included is a media room, spa pool and double internal access garage with workshop that currently houses the ultimate teenage den , but could easily revert to vehicle storage again.

The house was designed and built by its current owners, 20 years ago. They were drawn to the site at the end of McCoy Road by the views, which are extensive, the abundance of birdlife and the peace and privacy.

They called on their years of experience in the building industry to create a modern, luxurious home that fits the landscape and uses quality materials proven to stand the test of time and suit
local conditions.

Thanks to a slight revamp three years ago – new carpets and drapes – this home presents as new.

A LONG, fully concreted driveway provides access to this hill-top home that has been positioned to make the most of the outlook, and the sun.

Large windows across the front of the home fill the open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas with light and frame the expansive rural and harbour views. With a north-easterly aspect, it’s a warm and sunny space with great flow to the large deck and spa area.

The soundproof media room – or fifth bedroom/office space – is off the living area and the four bedrooms and family bathroom are in a wing on the other side of the house.

The bedrooms are north-facing and large, sunny rooms with good wardrobe space. They all have lovely rural views with one offering a view that extends into Te Urewera.

There is a 14-kilowatt log burner with wetback, which keeps the house toasty warm in winter, and a 250-litre hot water cylinder that ensures plenty of hot water.

Other features include an HRV system and an extra-wide 1200mm hallway to the bedrooms.

The property is almost 2.3 hectares, so a great “lifestyle” size. There are fenced areas for stock, some steeper sidings, a chook house, pig pen, separate sheds and double carport.

A large asphalt area around the house provides an abundance of parking space.

Although it might feel as if you are a world away from suburbia, living among the tui and kereru, it is only a 10-minute drive to Ōhope, 20 minutes to Whakatāne and a few minutes more to Ōpōtiki.
