Hilltop Haven – Spectacular Views & The Complete Lifestyle Package

Motivated sale due to health. A rare opportunity to secure a stunning hilltop lifestyle property offering views, privacy, resort-style outdoor living, and excellent connectivity.

Set high on a breathtaking 1.7 ha (4 acres) hilltop site, this impressive 253sqm (approx) residence captures sweeping views across rolling countryside and distant hills, offering a lifestyle of space, privacy, and tranquility.

Originally built by the builder for his own family, the home showcases thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. Constructed using Caviteclad cladding with weatherboard detailing, Colorsteel roofing, and double-glazed aluminium joinery, it blends enduring quality with timeless style.

Due to the owners’ declining health, this much-loved property must now be sold, presenting a genuine opportunity to secure an exceptional lifestyle home in a spectacular setting.

Two separate driveways enhance functionality. One leads to the substantial 8m x 11m (approx) Total Span high-stud shed, ideal for large vehicles, boats, or campers. The second driveway leads to the beautifully positioned residence surrounded by landscaped grounds and rural outlooks.

Inside, expansive window walls frame the views and connect seamlessly to north-facing wrap-around decks and patios, creating outstanding entertaining areas overlooking the heated saltwater swimming pool. Nearby, a private spa retreat surrounded by lush tropical plantings forms a tranquil oasis for relaxing under starry countryside evenings.

The designer kitchen sits at the heart of the home, featuring stone benchtops, premium appliances, an induction cooktop, and generous workspace. It connects effortlessly with the dining and family living areas, warmed by a wood burner with heat transfer system and built-in speakers.

Accommodation includes five spacious bedrooms, with the luxurious master suite offering a walk-in wardrobe, elegant fully tiled ensuite with floating double vanity, and sliding doors opening to the deck and private sitting area. Two further bedrooms also enjoy deck access, while all include built-in wardrobes. A fully tiled family bathroom with separate bath and shower, plus two powder rooms, provide excellent convenience.

Connected via a breezeway, a large multi-purpose room with polished concrete floors offers superb flexibility as an entertainment room, home office, gym, pool house, or extended family space.

The grounds feature established gardens, orchard plantings, vegetable garden areas, and expansive lawns for children and pets. Additional features include solar panels, central vacuum system, two 25,000L water tanks, and a Hynds environmental waste system.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property offers excellent connectivity — approximately 10 minutes to motorway access for Auckland and Hamilton commuting, and only 5 minutes to State Highway 2 for easy access to the Coromandel coast. Families will also appreciate the excellent local country schooling options nearby, adding further appeal for those seeking a lifestyle environment without compromising on education.

With a quality home, entertainment spaces, pool and spa, usable land, spectacular views, and substantial shedding, this property truly delivers the complete lifestyle package. A rare opportunity to secure a premium lifestyle retreat that truly has it all.
