Escape to the good life with this stunning 351m2(more or less) residence, an irresistible choice for exclusive country living. Immaculately presented and privately situated on a quiet lane, this four-bedroom home, plus office, offers the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility.

Maximum style and contemporary design are showcased throughout this modern home, featuring beautiful cedar panels and vibrant interior spaces that create an uplifting, sophisticated atmosphere.

Centered around an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the impressive open-plan living area boasts a modern kitchen with a granite benchtop and scullery. This flows seamlessly into the living room with a cozy gas fireplace, a separate dining room, and a lounge with cavity sliders. Multiple ranch sliders open up the home to stylish poolside entertaining, complete with a second outdoor gas fireplace, manicured gardens, and integrated seating.

Beyond the sun-drenched sitting room and office lies the master suite, a private retreat with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite featuring a double shower and vanity. The opposite wing houses three further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom, with one bedroom offering direct access to the deck and the heated salt-water pool.

Finished to executive standards, the property includes top-tier fixtures and specifications, such as a surround-sound system and high ceilings. A large, cleverly located laundry provides excellent storage. The triple-car garaging—a double with Gladiator flooring, a workbench, and racking, and an adjoining single ideal for a home gym or hobby room—offers supreme functionality.

Set on 4.3 ha of easy contoured land, the property features established gardens and a children's playground—ideal for family life. The land is well-fenced into four paddocks, suitable for horses, cattle, or any livestock, and includes a three-bay shed, yards, a loading ramp, and its own bore water supply.

In a tranquil setting down a quiet lane among quality rural homes, this exclusive property is perfectly positioned for convenience, being in the amazing Karaka area but also close to State Highway 1, the emerging town center of Paerata, and the vibrant hub of Drury, offering elegant, relaxed living and a sun-soaked poolside lifestyle.

The future Drury centre is designed to be the commercial, cultural, and social focal point for the entire Drury-Opaheke area, positioned near the existing motorway interchange and east of SH1. It is planned for a compact urban form that will support high densities and a large number of jobs, particularly within a walkable distance of the new railway station and the Frequent Transport Network. Drury is strategically located close to industrial land and key employment hubs, such as Manukau and Auckland Airport, making it a desirable location for businesses.
