67C Blue Spur Road, Hokitika, Westland

Incredibly private, architect designed contemporary dwelling nestled into a 20 ha podocarp forest with QEII Open Space Covenant and less than 5 minutes from Hokitika. Immerse yourself in nature - rimu, miro, totara, rata, kahikatea, manuka, kamahi and ferns, as well as tui, bellbird, waxeye, fantail, grey warbler and morepork - and enjoy forest walks along trails that pass several creeks. The completely low maintenance dwelling features open plan living areas with a cathedral ceiling and designer kitchen that includes a walk-in pantry. Picture windows frame exceptional views from the lounge and there is easy access to balcony decks. Work from home thanks to the large office. The main bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite with wall tiles, while the bathroom has a hydrotherapy bath. Fully insulated with thermal break double glazing, Yunca Monte wood burner and two heat pumps - you will never be cold! An internal access garage also hosts the laundry, plus there is an externally located Rheem heat pump hot water system. Other improvements include a 12 x 7m garage/workshop with 2 x 25,000L rainwater tanks, a lean-to greenhouse, woodshed and vegetable gardens. The house and gardens are within a 1 ha area that can be further developed. A lot of effort has been put into supporting the birdlife through extensive control of predators around the forest. Additionally, the vendors have indicated they would consider selling an adjacent 1.4 ha grazing block only in conjunction with this property. Viewing is by appointment.
