Timeless elegance meets traditional country, this impressive residence will evoke memories of a European farmhouse. Built to encompass rustic simplicity with modern craftsmanship that never dates. Discreetly standing upon expansive volcanic grounds in Millington Road, nestled among the towering Taraire and feeding Kereru amid the prestigious semi-rural lifestyle of Maunu.

The distinguished design is constructed using Firth Hotblocs with a cement plastered exterior and cut concrete flooring to capitalise on the insulation properties for thermal efficiency, the underfloor heating throughout the ground level is all that is needed to keep the home warm and dry. You will love the sense of space and stability, an ambience of rich and varied textures alongside country colours, the shaker style kitchen with butlers sink, the timber beams in the dining room and the height of the cathedral ceiling in the lounge. Curl up in the sun with a cup of tea and a good book in the snug where you can admire the victorian fireplace and handcrafted wooden joinery that frame every view. The french doors from all the living areas flow out to paved patios offering a different aspect of the property’s beautiful surroundings. The master suite is located on the ground floor with a spectacular outlook, while upstairs presents an office or play space on the landing, two bedrooms and the family bathroom, all of which continue the architectural country aesthetic.

Outdoors the double garage houses the laundry and additional facilities, plus a stylish whitewashed studio in the loft, a wonderful space for creative pursuits, a premium work from home environment or extra accommodation. The grounds tell a thoughtful story with raised vegetable and herb gardens while native trees and plantings fringe the sweeping lawns. The two well maintained paddocks are bordered by historic stone walls, offering possibilities for a few beef or a pony, and the charming gate house adds another layer of character and storage.

A remarkable setting on a sizeable 1.1 hectares of prime Large Lot Residential Zone land providing room for the family to grow, garden and graze, perhaps make plans to add the swimming pool next summer or consider the potential of subdivision in the future. Located adjacent to Sherwood Park Golf Club (drive the cart from home), and close to the Tennis Club, Barge Showgrounds, Pompallier College, Maunu and Maungatapere Schools, Jolt Cafe, Childcare and only 8km to Whangarei.

This is the first time on the market since it was lovingly created by our seller 25 years ago, now heartfully offered to the next generation to make this much loved home and legacy their own.
