Classic neutral tones create the perfect backdrop for refined living, while two staircases add to the grandeur. Beautiful garden views throughout the home allow you to fully enjoy the country charm and changing seasons on display.

Nine car garaging across the property ensures all the family vehicles are well looked after.

Extended family or staff are comfortably accommodated in the well-appointed cottage, which features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, including an ensuite, and spa bath.

There’s no end to the activities you can enjoy on the beautiful grounds, including croquet on the oval,outdoor chess, tennis, or a picnic in style.

Owners Sheree and David Smail say it’s been a fantastic place to raise their family for the past 20 years, and will leave them with many happy memories.

It was the home’s ‘wow’ factor that originally appealed to the couple – they had never seen anything like it in the Waikato and it reminded them from something out of Hollywood, marrying contemporary living with timeless elegance.

‘‘The highlights for us are the oval, the indoor swimming pool, sports bar and tennis court. It really is built for entertaining, offering formal and casual spaces. I love having a morning coffee overlooking the oval while listening to the birdsong or in the evening, enjoying a glass of wine in the redwood forest,’’ Sheree says.

‘‘Our property offers a life of relaxation, peacefulness, seclusion and privacy, while being close to town, and that brings an overall sense of fulfillment,’’ David says.

‘‘Able to hold its own on the world stage, this prime real estate offering is a rare opportunity indeed. If this class act is calling your name, call me or Angela Thomas today for a private viewing,’’ says Russell Thomas from NZSIR Waikato.
