About this listing
Built in the 1920s before undergoing an extension in the 1970s, this exquisite property makes its way to the market for the first time in over 80 years. The beautifully crafted home sits gracefully on Pukemarama, once the homestead for the property which sprawled over 11 acres, now lies across a comfortable 2400sqm (more or less) site. It has space, privacy and uninterrupted views spanning the horizon from the Sugar Loaves and Paritutu to Mokau and across the Kaitake and Pouakai ranges to our Mount Taranaki.
The entrance to this secluded paradise lies off the road, following a red brick path before opening out - announcing itself by looking over the beautiful tropical garden and sprawling lawn, across the pool and down the rugged west coast of Taranaki. Each day and each season here offers its own unique outlook; whether you're tucked up by one of the open fires gazing over the rough seas, or enjoying the sunshine poolside, every day has something special.
If you weren't mesmerised by the setting alone, then just step inside. Greeted with the warm, classic features of the original timber floorboards, leadlight windows and ornate ceilings, the property oozes warmth and cosiness. Pairing with more modern spaces such as the kitchen and bathroom provide an excellent balance of character with modern convenience.
Space is abundant here; choose to entertain in any of the three expansive living areas, or if you prefer outside, take your pick between the deck space, poolside or pizza oven under the magnolia tree
Each of the five bedrooms and four bathrooms in the main house have their own unique view of the city, while the original cottage (studio with ensuite) lies adjacent to the main home at the rear of the property, perfect for air b&b or extended family.
Words simply cannot do this incredible property justice, discover this space for yourself and prepare to be amazed.
