This spectacular Waitoki retreat was crafted three years ago and captures the perfect balance of seclusion and urban convenience, with Silverdale and Millwater just 10 minutes’ drive away. Sprawled over 31.8 pristine acres, the majority of the site is comprised of thick native bush, with paddocks, a pond and rolling lawns enveloping the luxurious residence.

The current owners had the home built for themselves and fell in love with the land immediately. They lived in a cabin onsite during the build and have relished the pure peace and quiet and wonderful space the location affords. Brick construction with board and batten feature and the single level design means the house blends seamlessly within the environment, while the floorplan lends itself to sensational all-season entertaining and spacious family living. Another thoughtful addition was the creation of the legal one-bedroom minor dwelling, which has its own entrance and outdoor area.

Sharon Road is home to a local boutique dressage school, as well as close to the Waitoki village for daily supplies and morning coffee. Buses run to North Shore schools daily, plus access to the Park and Ride in Silverdale makes life easy for CBD commuters. It’s a truly enviable lifestyle, offering the peace, pace and incredible vistas of country living, while remaining connected to city amenities and services.

A circular driveway arrives out the front of the grand residence, which has the ambiance of an elegant country lodge. High ceilings inside enhance the feeling of space and many setsof doors and windows throughout capture visions of the majestic setting. The voluminous, open living area is the heart of the home, with a wall of bifolds flowing out to the north-facing, covered outdoor living and terrace. The outdoor fireplace and pizza oven out here make for seamless alfresco living and entertaining, with the covenanted native bush providing excellent shelter from the weather.

The large gourmet kitchen is another place for friends and family to gather and is complemented with a butler’s pantry and island bench. The cosy lounge is warmed in winter by the fireplace, while the separate home theatre can be closed off via glass sliders. The accommodation was designed so that parents and kids had their own separate wings. The master suite has a dressing room and luxurious ensuite with freestanding bath, while the remaining three bedrooms have their own bathroom and lounge.

There’s parking available for multiple cars in front of the internal double garage, with designated space for the minor dwelling. This enjoys excellent separation from the main home and has smart modern finishes and appliances. It’s consented so can be rented out, or used as Air BnB, guest or extended family accommodation.

Families who seek an idyllic lifestyle property in a premium location will love the space and scenery this Waitoki retreat presents. It allows children a chance to roam and explore freely in their own backyard, plus the comfort and convenience of a brand new, high quality build.
