If you love living surrounded by bush, greenery, the call of nature and want space, sunshine and privacy you must view this home. This house stands out from the maddening crowd. It's quite literally a lodge over several levels nestled into a tropical grove and stand of bush. This is an architecturally designed grand cedar house which you enter through a foyer with a massive imported mirror. The living area is huge and divided into formal and family areas with soaring timber sarked ceilings, bleached Tawa floors and walls of glass. This is a secret pocket of native bush edging the Glen Atkinson reserve. Each room looks out to and often through beautiful examples of Ponga, Nikau Palms, Manuka, cabbage trees and other natives. The living dining area and extensive decking on the entry level sits above the tress, and captures the sun and serenity. The fabulous kitchen and family room look out to the bush on the other side of the house and onto a courtyard. A water feature bubbles to a pond just behind a spa pool set under a gazebo, looking out to the bush.

There are five bedrooms and study/office or configure as you please... work from home as a previous owner has or put in a gym. You are spoilt for choice re which bedroom would suit you best. The one which has a deck which leads to the spa or another with a brand new resort style ensuite. Here you can bathe high above the bush watching and listening to birds or step out onto your private balcony for a morning cup of tea. This is an extraordinary block of land 2378m (approx.) of pure paradise. All leading down to a lovely flat lawn for picnic, croquet or even a spot of cricket - this is a house that is a must view. It is truly unique.
