299 Surrey Hill Road, Oakura, New Plymouth, Taranaki

Set at the top of Surrey Hill Road, this architecturally designed family home offers a rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and modern convenience. Located on a quiet no-exit road, and the absence of through traffic, just minutes from Oakura Village and the beach, this property provides the perfect balance of rural charm and coastal living.

Positioned on a subdivided 3.7-hectare site, with over half protected native bush under a QEII covenant, the home enjoys exceptional privacy. A winding driveway leads through established orchard trees - walnut, avocado, apple, pear, and plum - before opening to a striking split-level residence crafted by award-winning builder David Fabish.

The home's bold, double-pavilion design showcases New Zealand influences with corrugated steel cladding, monopitch roofing, and expansive glazing. Inside, the upper pavilion features generous living areas, a high-spec designer kitchen, and soaring 3m ceilings that create a sense of space and light. A double-sided gas fire and underfloor heating provide year-round comfort.

Four north-facing stacker doors extend the living area outdoors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The lower pavilion houses four bedrooms, an office, and a family bathroom. The master suite opens to landscaped gardens and enjoys direct outdoor access.

This property is more than a home - it's a lifestyle retreat ideal for entertaining, family activities, and enjoying nature. With a blend of bush, lawn, and curated gardens, it offers both sophistication and serenity in one of Oakura's most sought-after rural enclaves.
