In the heart of Tamaheres coveted Golden Mile, this outstanding 1.6ha (approx) lifestyle property is absolute pedigree in a thoroughbred location. Nestled within the peaceful, private block, with a gully aspect, is a large, elegant home, awash in luxury. It shouts wow the moment you enter. Individuality is emphasised through bespoke architecture and hand-picked materials. Attention to detail is exquisite throughout. Step indoors and be awed by the large entrance hallway curving around the grand living area characterised by a macrocarpa feature wall. Light-filled open plan living on an Italian tile floor is spacious and well-connected with the outdoors. The kitchen is a foodies haven with a neatly concealed walk-in pantry, a five-burner Richmond range, stainless-steel benchtops, a stone-top island, macrocarpa cabinetry with integrated appliances, and Italian tapware. Pocket sliders between living areas allow the two spaces to be connected. They share the warmth of a dual log burner. Five well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms host a large or extended family. A big walk-in dressing room and a luxe ensuite ensure the master a quality retreat. Generous glazing, including windows and sliding doors, frame the country vista and provide easy access to the spa pool. Take the covered breezeway to double garage, and self-contained guest suite, ideal for Airbnb. Superbly appointed, the insulated home has two hot water cylinders, tinted double-glazing, a central vac system and underfloor heating. The heated saltwater swimming pool, spa, and various alfresco niches entice everyone outdoors, and if a family really wants something more to boast about the boutique olive grove producing its own artisan oil, will do it. Special understates this magnificent property close to Tamahere village, in zone for sought-after schools, and handy to the Waikato Expressway.
