436 Kapiro Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland, 0294, New Zealand

Enjoy living in a secluded sub-tropical rural environment less than 15 minutes to Kerikeri Town Centre, Bay of Islands Airport and Kerikeri Cruising Club & Marina. The property offers a truly relaxed lifestyle with the main residence sited for maximum privacy, shelter, sun and views and the architect’s clever design combining a modern feel and family layout with fastidious craftsmanship. Two north-facing wings, one with master suite and the other with family bedrooms and living, are linked by open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. To the north through super size glass sliding doors is the sheltered pool courtyard with handcrafted stone walls and outdoor fireplace — offering a sanctuary for relaxation and entertainment. To the south is a hedged kitchen garden area and marvellous vista over the river valleys and tree tops. It feels like you’re living amongst nature, being able to open up both sides of the home to the pool, gardens and views. The beautiful 4 hectare property also features a self-contained 1 bedroom cottage with a delightful Pacific island flavour and a tastefully converted 3 bedroom farm building. Mature trees, established tropical plantings, vegetable gardens, and well-fenced paddocks complete the picture and our guests all say ‘it’s like living at a resort’. Highlights for us have been the pool and tropical environment, watching the horses from the house, privacy and tranquility, accommodating three family generations in separate dwellings and the property’s superb accessibility. It’s time for the next leg of our journey and one lucky family now has the chance to secure this special lifestyle.
