Price by negotiation

Set against the prized Tai Tapu landscape, "Rosewood" stands as an architectural achievement where every corner has been shaped with an uncompromising eye for detail and an appreciation for the artistry of home. Flawlessly conceived in 2013, this gracefully modelled estate is the result of an inspired collaboration between Trengrove & Blunt Architects, Dempster Builders, Goom Landscapes, and designer Ingrid Geldof, culminating in a residence that resonates with enduring elegance. Covering a grand 603sqm (approx), the floor plan comprises four double bedrooms, three exquisite bathrooms, an assortment of living rooms and an expansive 8-car garage - a configuration designed for those drawn to the extraordinary on every scale. At the heart of it all, a grand entrance hall unveils a spectacular wraparound staircase, introducing a space steeped in stately elegance. Opening with a suite of classical living spaces, the ground floor also features a conservatory and a formal dining room that meets a chef's kitchen with a scullery - crafted for culinary finesse. Every inch of the grounds speaks to a life lived outdoors, whether enjoying a game of tennis, reclining by the pool, relaxing in the summer house, or gathering by the fire to cook a pizza - all framed by multiple terraces, landscaped and irrigated gardens and sweeping lawns that lend a picturesque sense of occasion to every gathering. Unfolding over 2.0411 hectares that features a river boundary, the property combines purpose and pleasure. The new owner will enjoy fresh produce from the vegetable garden, apple and walnut trees. Two paddocks will provide room for a horse or grazing for livestock. Exterior storage needs are well considered with a large American-style barn with power and an implement/storage shed. While secluded, it remains within easy reach of Halswell's vibrant amenities and Halswell Quarry walking tracks. "Rosewood" is an outstanding property that invites new buyers to savour a legacy of time-honoured character and unrestrained tranquillity.
