OVERVIEW
Under contract - viewing by appointment.
An enchanting drive through the Otaki Gorge Road Totara tunnel delivers you to this beatific pocket of captivating rural Te Horo. Driving in, you're instantly transported. A tree-lined paddock and picturesque character cottage 'Country Charm' offers a cheerful greeting, then a gentle curve to the right, through gorgeous wooden gates, reveals a breathtaking cathedral-peaked welcome to the truly impressive main home of 'Country Cool'.
Orientated to blend seamlessly with the land itself, sustainability is a focus. The north-facing length of the home is perfectly aligned east to west, framing gorgeous vistas. There's not a neighbour in sight - this is the perfect place to take in a starry night.
Built by Max Green as a passive home, the earthy concrete aggregate floors use radiant energy to capture heat. The outside is brought in via floor to ceiling windows, framed by soaring macrocarpa ceilings. A sense of comfort, ease, warmth, and style envelopes. A Warmington Cardrona Log Burner with wetback keeps the home exceptionally toasty - simultaneously keep a casserole on the go or bake your bread. A large central open fire is an exquisite visual backdrop to the sumptuous living space.
With separate, dedicated spaces each for the bathroom, walk-in shower, toilet, and laundry rooms, all add to the sense of luxury and comfort. Two north facing bedrooms, one with walk in robe downstairs, and a striking wooden stairwell delivers to a huge upper bedroom with scope as an alternative master or enough room to comfortably divide.
Double-fenced and thoughtfully landscaped and planted, the income-bearing cottage and main home are enveloped with many privacy-affording native trees. A plethora of fruiting trees include avocado, orange, persimmon, macadamia, walnut, lemon, fig and more.
If privacy and rural living is your dream, here is your answer.
