For an awe-inspiring experience, look no further. This remarkable property, designed by Chow Hill architects, the striking Canadian cedar home basks in sunlight throughout the day and sits majestically on its secluded oasis on the southeast slope of Mt Paku.

Inside, the spacious yet efficient layout features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, creating an expansive atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling double glazed glass walls on two levels bathe the interior in natural light and warmth, offering sweeping views of the surrounding islands and sea. Thoughtfully designed, the property boasts multiple living spaces, from the cozy snug area to the inviting warmth of the open fire. Outside, 128 square metres of beautiful timber decks envelop the property, providing ample space for all year-round entertainment.

Begin your day with the sunrise from the private master suite, secluded on the upper level and featuring a generously sized ensuite. Downstairs, two double bedrooms with ocean views open onto a sun-drenched deck. Additional features include underfloor heating in the hallway and a spacious family bathroom. Internal access to the double garage provides ample storage space.

The tropical gardens, designed for simplicity, beckon exploration with secret pathways and thriving fruit trees and vegetable gardens. Ample off-street parking and space for a boat ensure convenience and versatility. Once you arrive, you may find it hard to ever leave.
