Secluded Wainui lifestyle retreat

.

Tucked away down a winding driveway, far from the road and cradled by native bush, this Wainui property offers the ultimate lifestyle.

Families, busy professionals, retirees – everyone in fact – will enjoy the peace, quiet and ease of living that comes with life at number 693a Stanley Road.

Built in 2017, the three-bedroom home sits comfortably on 7.67 hectares of mixed land where open paddock, wetland and mature plantings meet a clear, ribboning stream. The approach through trees sets the tone: this is a private retreat designed to embrace its landscape.

Sun lovers will head straight for the north-facing deck, a sunny platform ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings while birdsong drifts in from the bush. There is an abundance of birdlife along with rare plantings established by the current owner.

Inside, the house is practical and welcoming, anchored by an open plan living area and a large kitchen. Finishes are neutral and contemporary, with shades of grey working with the polished concrete floors to create a calm, cohesive interior.

Stylish concrete floors are a feature throughout the home, warmed by electric underfloor heating and supplemented by a heat pump for comfort all year round.

Three comfortable bedrooms sit away from the living zone, while a generous media room provides versatility — a home theatre, playroom or second lounge as required.

The former garage has been cleverly
converted into a multipurpose space,
perfect for a home gym, studio, office or hobby room, giving extra flexibility for
modern living.

Outdoors the property continues to impress. Lawn surrounds the house, with established raised beds and a garden shed already in place for those keen to grow veges.

Specimen trees punctuate the lawn with ample room to landscape further, plant an orchard or add more sheds, as desired.

The property is a mix of usable lifestyle space and native surrounds, with deer fencing in places.

The standout is the natural environment with ponds and a striking crystal clear stream that runs through the property – a seasonal playground for kids and a peaceful focal point for summer picnics.

Water security is well considered with a large 10,000-litre tank and a spring fed supply supporting household needs and garden irrigation.

The home’s exterior is low maintenance, with fibre cement cladding and a long run iron roof offering durability and longevity.

This property will suit buyers who crave privacy and connection to nature without sacrificing modern conveniences. It’s an opportunity to step into a lifestyle where morning light, bush birds and flowing water form the backdrop to everyday life.
