Some homes need a second viewing. This one will have you sold on the spot. Tucked towards the end of a private driveway, wrapped in beautifully established gardens on a 7,526m2 (1.85 acre) site gazing east across a spectacular rural landscape, this is luxury lifestyle living done exceptionally well. Beautifully designed and crafted to make the absolute most of its surroundings - peaceful, private and polished to perfection. The stunning, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart and soul of the home and is designed to be enjoyed, with a fabulous walk-in pantry, quality appointments and a seamless flow straight out to the covered entertaining area. And then there's the master suite. More retreat than bedroom, sliders spill onto the patio where the included spa pool awaits, while a walk-through wardrobe and stunning ensuite add a little everyday luxury. Two further double bedrooms, both with wardrobes, are complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with stunning walk in tiled shower, while a clever office nook gives you somewhere to get the work done without sacrificing a bedroom. But what really makes this home stand out are all those little details you don't fully appreciate until you have them. Electric hallway blinds, attic storage, stunning tiling, polished concrete and plush carpet, quality fixtures and fittings, free standing Masport fire, heat pump, heat transfer and an energy-efficient heat-pump hot water system - everything has been considered, right down to every last finishing touch. Outside is every bit as impressive. The fully fenced grounds are beautifully planted, there's a large storage shed with roller door in additional to the double integral garage with a woodshed tucked neatly away behind it, and two 30,000-litre rainwater tanks with Puretec filtration system. But perhaps some of its best features aren't ones you can measure. It's the peace. The privacy. The simply outstanding rural views. It's morning sun spilling across the landscape, evenings spent soaking in the spa, and the feeling of turning into your own private, luxurious pocket of the world and leaving everything else somewhere behind you. Simply sensational.
