A true collaboration of site, setting, design and detail where every element comes together to create one truly exceptional property. This 2021 built home is an absolute masterclass in understated class and design - clean-lined and deliberately simple to allow the sensational elevated setting amongst the professionally landscaped grounds with the breathtaking views north up the valley do the talking. Lines blur between indoors and out with the spacious open plan living and all three double bedrooms opening through sliders to the decking and native gardens beyond. Attention to detail and a clever use of space maximise the 135m2 floor plan with two beautifully appointed bathrooms, separate toilet and laundry along with a custom designed kitchen with walk in pantry. Exceptionally warm and inviting having been perfectly positioned to capture the natural warmth of the all-day sun while incorporating all the bells and whistles, luxurious appointments, and energy efficiency one would expect from a property of this quality including double glazed aluminium joinery, full insulation and a Pyroclassic free standing fire. Outside the 8,959m2 (2.21 acre) property unfolds into curated pockets of professionally landscaped gardens with secluded spaces for outdoor entertaining or a private spot for your spa along with boxed vegetable gardens, an array of fruit trees, perpetual firewood trees, a purpose-built chicken enclosure and pet paddocks. There's a single carport, a powered three-bay implement shed (two open, one enclosed) and a standalone cabin is available by negotiation. Sustainability is also built-in, with solar feeding back into the grid and three 25,000 litre rainwater tanks. A truly exceptional readymade lifestyle, meticulously crafted with no detail spared. Not one to be missed!

Every now and then, a property of unique character and a sprinkle of magic comes to the market. Hidden beyond a stunning tree-lined driveway, its secrets are only revealed at the very end. Built in 1987 and perfectly positioned to take advantage of its elevated setting, this striking two-storey home sits high among magnificent, mature trees - truly reminiscent of a treehouse in the forest canopy. Upstairs, the separate kitchen, formal dining, and spacious living areas flow seamlessly onto a wraparound verandah, where you can sit among the treetops, listen to birdsong, and soak in the sweeping views beyond the property. Downstairs, a second living area with a heat pump opens via ranch slider to a ground-level deck - ideal for teenagers, guests, or extended family. The home offers four bedrooms (three doubles and one single), including a master with ensuite, and an office provides work-from-home flexibility. Nestled upon 1.36 hectares (3.36 acres), it occupies a world entirely its own where expansive lawns under the tree canopy create a park-like setting for children and pets to explore. A large pony paddock sits alongside a smaller paddock with established fruit trees. There's a rustic barn with three-phase power, additional shedding, sheep yards and race, a chook house, and a double carport - all framed by mature shrubs and stunning trees. Set in a highly sought-after lifestyle enclave, just minutes from both Waipawa and Otane, this property offers immense potential to refresh and modernise while already delivering the rare combination of space, privacy and location.
