Hidden away from the main road and at the end of a tree-lined driveway, "The Retreat" sits above fabulous gardens, sprawling lawns, and a feature pond with water lilies.
On arrival, you are greeted by a chorus of bird songs and will head to the inviting Hinuera stone entrance. Inside, the light-filled, open-plan kitchen and dining take you to a comfy living room with high studs and a vaulted ceiling. The combination of a log burner, heat pump and HRV system makes the home effortlessly comfortable through all seasons. Outdoor entertaining is a breeze, with options to take in the garden views and a convenient covered area.
Well-appointed bedrooms with large windows featuring idyllic garden views, a family bathroom with separate toilet and spacious living areas will keep your guests coming back for more. Add to this a vast, super flexible mezzanine floor upstairs (currently set up as an office) and a separate wing for guest accommodation with its own facilities and double garage, and you will never be left wanting. A short stroll leads you to a massive shed of approximately 18m x 9m, a home for boats, cars and projects with the bonus of a studio/office with basic facilities - so much opportunity here.
The spacious grounds are truly magnificent, with many fruit trees, veggie patches, a potting shed, a chook house and flower beds, all surrounded by established trees - an absolute delight to meander through and explore. The property also boasts a picturesque stream running through, with its own swimming hole, glow worms, and plenty of spots to sit and take in the beauty of this natural feature right on your doorstep. There is so much room here; you could even set up the perfect camping spot or summer house without the hassle of driving anywhere and still feel like you were off on holiday!
