6 Surfside Lane, Ruakaka, Whangarei, Northland

It's all in the title.. Architecturally designed in close collaboration with the owners, built by renowned master builder "Craig Cogan" this bespoke home makes a statement. Crafted with the utmost care with exceptional attention to detail, this is no ordinary beach house.

A calibre that's a cut above; smart, clever with refined sophistication. The ATA Touch Smart home system controls the underfloor heating, ambient temperature, hot water, and heat pump from the wall-mounted tablet or from the comfort of your armchair on your phone, in fact, from wherever you may be. A powerful central vac system features throughout the home with 2 tow kick van-pan's (in kitchen and laundry). 22 Solar panels coupled to 2 inverters (ready to add future battery system) ensure power bills are low. And that's just some of the tech. But it's so much more than fancy tech.

From the moment you arrive you know you've walked into something special, almost resort-like. Higher stud ceilings lead to an expansive lounge and dining area with an impressive vaulted ceiling. But it's the galley kitchen that steals the show. Laced with European appliances comprising Multifunction Pyrolytic (self-cleaning) Oven - functions - 4D hot air, Steam, Microwave, and meat thermometer, 820mm wide smart induction cooktop, warmer drawer and two dishwashers with all the cabinetry you could ever dream of with and of course an extra large walk-in butlers pantry, that's obligatory!

When it comes to entertaining you're spoiled. The adjacent media room providing extra space for ultimate entertainment indoors. Then there's outdoors; lush plantings cover zones to chill in the hammock with the sea breeze, expansive decks, glass balustrades and a wonderful covered alfresco area complete with curtain sides, the scene set for many memorable summer night gatherings with family and friends.

The bedrooms are large, the master is bold with a beautiful walk-through robe. Bathrooms are luxurious entwined with gorgeous contrasting tones and textures. There's copious amounts of storage here too, complete with loft. And when it comes to the beach life, the foreshore is a little over a two-minute walk away. So close you can hear the surf when you go to sleep. Home and gardens designed for pleasure, ease and comfort. A property of absolute distinction in a lap of luxury.
