Looking ultra sleek and completely at ease in its rural setting, this modern country home makes a striking statement on the Taupiri landscape. Secured behind an electric gate on a flat and fully fenced 8000sqm section, the property offers the best of lifestyle living and has the added dimension of a separate, versatile 80sqm two-bay shed with a spare room. Work from home is an attractive option and hobbyists have ample space to pursue their interests. Concrete block and linea oblique cladding create a dynamic exterior to the stunning house, which was built in 2021, features all the latest bells and whistles, and offers the perfect balance of social spaces and private personal sanctuaries. It is swimming in space and light, with sun and countryside views streaming in through generous expanses of glass. At the core is an open plan pavilion central to everyday life. Resting under a raked ceiling and heated by a woodburner and heatpump, this light-filled domain has bi-fold doors that blur the line between inside and out. Entertaining is an effortless affair thanks to indoor-outdoor connectivity, a kitchen that combines sharp style with optimum functionality, and a large deck that sets the scene for open-air gatherings and down-time. Equipped to cater for a crowd through the bi-fold window, the kitchen dishes up a 900mm cooker with a gas hob, a dry scullery and an island bench. A second lounge provides privacy to enjoy media experiences. There is good separation between the suite of three double bedrooms and the master wing, which is a relaxing retreat with a well-appointed ensuite and dressing room. All bedrooms are generously proportioned and boast excellent storage. Service spaces sit on polished concrete floors and negative detail finishes give a seamless look to the main bathroom and ensuite. A separate toilet, laundry and double garage round off the floorplan. The large, secure section has ample parking, space for kids to roam, and room to grow produce. Main arterial networks are handy for commuters.
