Harbour’s Edge Lifestyle, New Zealand

Architect designed home for a busy couple who wished to give away the city life for a quieter country lifestyle. Built in 2000, on freehold title land. Now they are reluctantly offering their home for sale.
The main part of the house has a master bedroom, with an adjacent bathroom, a study, a sunroom (come bedroom) and a large living / dining area. All the rooms have broad views westward over the harbour.
Abundant storage space includes a large walk-in pantry, coat cupboard, loft accessed by ladder and a mezzanine floor in the garage. The laundry off the bathroom has external access, a shower and a second toilet.
At the south end of the house there is a self contained 2 bedroom guest wing. with its own bathroom and kitchen facilities. The unit can also be operated as a Bed & Breakfast business. It is separated from the house by a double garage.
A wide deck across the front of the house lets you enjoy harbour views and the marvellous sunsets. A second deck on the north-east corner provides for shelter and a place for the barbecue. Floors throughout are covered by cork tiles. All doors are wide enough for a wheel chair.
A Solar system and a wet back on the wood stove minimise the use of electricity for water heating. Under the house there is a large lined workshop and storage area. The house is 353 m2 (3,800 sf) in area, including the garage (36 m2), basement (68 m2) and decks (69 m2).
The property is 2 Ha (5 acres) of land which slopes gently to the waters of the Hokianga Harbour, with direct access onto the sandy beach. One acre around the house has been developed as gardens, orchard and lawns, with windbreaks of native trees. The balance of the property is grass pasture and contains 2 stock ponds.
It is 10 minutes drive to the local store for everyday needs, 20 minutes to the hospital, 40 minutes to the nearest service centre, one hour to the East coast, and 4 hours to Auckland.
