Architectural design is demonstrated on an exceptional scale at this spectacular seven-bedroom residence that's immersed in a picturesque environment.

Set within a simply supreme location, this 1.98Ha lifestyle block embraces the considerable calm of the countryside while also absorbing entrancing views over Bream Bay and Whangarei Heads.

Hemmed by a sublime 18m lap pool, this recently re-clad and renovated abode totalling 566m2 makes a staggering statement in both size and style.

A fine array of fixtures and fittings have been commissioned throughout the double-level layout, including APL Architectural Series joinery, macrocarpa cabinetry, striking tongue and groove ceilings, Bose audio and the luxurious use of granite.

Seven double bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuited options, provide family and guests with the utmost comfort. The top-floor master is a thoroughly relaxing haven, armed with all the requisites; it also accesses a sheltered balcony where you can unwind and admire the sunrises and sunsets. Exceptionally well-appointed guest quarters are situated downstairs, featuring a dedicated lounge for heightened privacy.

Arranged with an emphasis on hospitality and relaxed living, the property features a blend of casual and formal living and dining zones, as well as a deluxe designer kitchen crowned with bold granite countertops. An office with expansive views provides an inspiring space for work, while a combined wet room and laundry, two log burners and an internal access garage are further drawcards.

The highlights continue outside, where extensive decking and pool-side loungers provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining and soaking up the sunshine. Dozens of mature fruit trees decorate the property's orchard, while an expansive six-bay shed and three 25,000L water tanks round out the package.
