Windermere Homestead
Windermere homestead captures the essence of grand country living. Designed for the consummate lifestyler, the 350sqm (approx) home embodies a luxurious sense of space, proportion and comfort. Drawing inspiration from its stunning rural surrounds, it offers a relaxed aesthetic set against the lush countryside, with panoramic views to Mt Pirongia.
The current owners began deer farming here in the early eighties, establishing the renowned Windermere Deer Stud, and developing the homestead through a major rebuild in 1993. The magnificent Koromatua manor has been the heart of one of New Zealand's leading deer studs. Accessed via a gated entrance and long, sealed driveway, the homestead sits on 3.6 hectares of prime land, which is currently dairy grazed. There is so much on offer for those who love to entertain and take advantage of the great outdoors.
Ideal for large scale family living, the home has generous accommodation including two double bedrooms at ground level, four generous doubles upstairs, and three bathrooms, including an ensuite off the master. All bedrooms capture uninterrupted vistas of the countryside while the sunsets from the parents' retreat are truly remarkable. A bonus is the room off the master suite, perfect for a nursery or library.
Large, flowing, light-infused living areas beautifully reflect the patterns of modern family living. The layout encompasses two super-sized living rooms, country-style dining, an impressive rimu office with built-in furniture, and a spacious, well-appointed rimu kitchen. Premium quality finishes are showcased throughout, including rimu architraves, sashes and arches.
Two wood-burners, including one on wetback, provide efficient heating with the added bonus of underfloor heating in a good portion of the ground floor. The home is also equipped with a home ventilation system, and has masses of storage, including a large loft. There is also a separate double garage.
Landscaped gardens frame the homestead. Veggie patches are well established and fruit trees productive.
All set up and ready to enjoy, the incredibly handy property is minutes from the hospital, city centre and Te Rapa, and close to schooling and school bus routes.
The Vendors will consider offers from $970,000.
