Welcome to a truly extraordinary opportunity in Papa Aroha, Colville - one of Coromandel’s most treasured locations. This property, rich in history and character, offers an exceptional lifestyle in an iconic setting. The upper floor of the main residence is a testament to thoughtful design, seamlessly incorporating Asian-inspired elements with the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings.
The open-plan living space is highlighted by stunning French oak floors, while the Japanese-inspired bathroom, with its striking basalt flooring, creates a tranquil escape. This serene atmosphere flows out into meticulously landscaped gardens and peaceful lily ponds, perfectly complementing the lush native bush that envelops the 4,765sqm (more or less) property. The master bedroom is a sanctuary of luxury, complete with an elegant ensuite, while the second bedroom offers a quiet, restful retreat.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious kitchen, where a ‘Hippie Green’ hue adds a unique touch, complemented by under-bench open storage. A cosy TV room offers a private space to relax and unwind. Downstairs, a self-contained studio unit awaits, offering versatility and comfort. Whether it’s for extended family, guests, or the potential for a boutique B&B, this space features a generous living area, kitchenette, two double bedrooms, and a well-appointed bathroom. In addition, a contemporary studio with bi-fold doors and a mezzanine loft provides a flexible creative space—ideal for an artist’s studio, home office, or additional accommodation. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, this home offers endless possibilities. It’s been the setting for countless memorable events, with seating for 56 guests at a single long table and special features like the India Room, outdoor decks, and lush gardens all contribute to its versatility for live music dancing and more.
For those with a passion for craftsmanship or creative pursuits, the ample garaging options are an absolute asset. A double garage with a separate workshop and ceramic room, along with a single garage and a large storage workshop, provide the perfect environment for the more practically minded. This home is a rare combination of creativity, history, and contemporary design, nestled in a thriving, connected community.
