Whakamarama has a well-earned reputation for country lifestyle and scenery. This modern property however, has a special outlook that enhances life in this neighbour-friendly enclave. From its elevated position - nestled in relative seclusion - this lovely home gazes over Waipapa River to the hills beyond. North-facing and boasting the added benefit of a wetland ribbon fringing the river. Home to a profusion of bird species, it's a magnet for other wildlife to drop in and feast on this tidal plain - a special place, at one with nature. Gazing down upon it is one thing. Knowing you have legal access to this riverside esplanade - with its jetty and boat ramp to launch the jet ski or kayak down the river to Tauranga Harbour - is something else again. This legal access is one of the property's true highlights. "You'll find sparkling ponds, planted and alive with birdlife. It's the perfect picnic spot, while the kids swim or bomb off the jetty." While arguably one of the biggest drawcards; this property offers so much more - generous space where family can love life, work from home, grow produce and entertain in style. Thoughtful design provides a third lounge; quite separate from family living. Complete with a wood burner - it's somewhere to watch movies, play music and entertain in peace. Tucked beside two bedrooms and family bathroom, this wing closes off from the rest of the house to enhance the privacy - be it for children, extended family or guests. External access simply increases the options. The master retreat sits in a far corner of the house - beautifully removed to cherish its own privacy. An ensuite and walk-in wardrobe are mandatory - while personal outdoor flow links with a huge sun-deck to savour the scenery and river below. The next surprise is the cafe-styled barbecue lounge. Sheltered overhead with clear glazing and screened on two sides for more intimacy, the outlook to the river and countryside ensures this is a year-round drawcard. Daylight saving looms, warmer weather is almost here, so where better to toast the evenings than with a barbecue as birds finish their evening song. Entertaining inside is just as inviting, however. The heart of the home revolves around a Hampton-inspired kitchen, with a walk-in pantry and island feature, formal dining and family living. Opening outside to wrap-around decking, clever design enhances the flow between the various outdoor settings and a cosy, fireside sitting room next door once the evening draws in. A separate 9 x 6 metre garage offers ample workshop and storage, while a Podlife cabin office with hyper fibre ensures working from home - actually stays out of the home. This is a substantial property - features galore with generous space inside and out - all hinged on an intimate connection with nature.
